Uploading thumbnail for a page from DAM in AEM 6.3

Hi All,

Is there any way to drag and drop an image as a thumnail for a page in page properties in 6.3.

Recently i migrated my application from 6.1 to 6.3.

we had this functionality in 6.1 but now we have only option to upload a thumnail but we cant use any asset from dam for thumbnails.

Any idea?? Am i missing something?

    You could add a path browser(with name ./image/FileReference) in the page properties to select the image from dam. Something like this.

    in AEM 63, page properties is opened in a different page instead of a dialog. So you don't have access to the content finder. I am not sure if there is any easier way to have drag and drop,

    You could try using the asset picker /etc/scaffolding/we-retail/product/jcr:content/cq:dialog/content/items/columns/items/column1/items/images/image/thumbnail/assetpicker.
    This displays thumbnails with different views (card, list, column) and you can search as well.

    You can check it in the product properties page. http://localhost:4502/aem/products.html/etc/commerce/products/we-retail/wo/coats

    I haven't tried it myself though. Let me know if it works.

      I suppose you can use pathfield instead of pathbrowser, it shows thumbnails images

            Hi,

            Pathfield and assetPicker dint work for me.

            I used pathbrowser for thumbnail selection and and setting name property ./image/fileReference.

            apart from this i also created a clientlib which helps  in creating a preview when i select any file (asset) in pathbrowser window.

            i dint get the image icons in window.

            let me know if you find a way or anything you have added up.

              Hi manish.anand​,

              I am not sure about your exact requirement but my requirement was to select the asset from DAM for the thumbnails instead of upload image from local.

              I am attaching the screenshots, if you have similar requirement let me know, will share the details.

              and while i am browsing the DAM upload image, its showing me DAM assets only-

                  Change your rootPath property as per your requirement.

                      Hi,

                      How can we extend the existing Thumbnail to add a custom path browser(DAM Upload Image as per your image). Also, once the image is selected, will the thumbnail automatically display the image or we need to modify something in the property.
