Unable to edit any component in AEM 6.3 Classic UI

[ketanb]

Hi,

We want to open and edit pages in classic UI mode in AEM 6.3. We enabled classic UI (disabled by default in AEM 6.3) by following the instructions here.

However when we open the Classic UI in AEM 6.3, it does seem as if the page has opened in edit mode (as seen from the sidekick option). The sidekick shows that the page is already open in edit mode. However we are not able to in-place edit any of the components (text, title, image, custom components). Or even if we right-click on the component, it doesn't show any option to edit. Check the attached screenshot of AEM 6.3 Classic UI mode showing edit not working.

We also checked suggestion given here. Even though its for AEM 6.2. We already have the profile node present with correct value set up like the link says.

Thanks

I can reproduce the behavior mentioned here. I have further asked the internal team to get back to me on this.

This is AsDesigned behavior because WeRetail isn't supported on Classic UI by design.

You will be unable to edit WeRetail site whereas sites made from the static template are editable as mentioned by Techaspect that WeRetail  do not define dialog for classic UI.  A dialog defined for the classic UI will operate on the touch-optimized UI wheras a dialog defined for the touch-optimized UI will not operate on the classic UI.

Thanks for the reply.

Since we.retail is not supported package, we will try to migrate Geometrixx package to 6.3 classic.

Can you point us to any publicly available AEM 6.3 packages that we can use with classic/touch UI for testing?

Hi,

Please refer the link below. It has a package that uses both classic UI dialog and touch UI dialog.
