Why component with only touch ui dialog(cq:dialog) is not added to the side rail, but component with only classic dialog is added to the side kick ?

[shishira_Pradha]

Hello,

I have created a component with dialog in touch UI(cq:dialog) in AEM6.2 (and  i did not add editconfig node and classic ui dialog to the component), see pic https://forums.adobe.com/api/core/v3/attachments/885596/data

then, i went to page in design mode to add component, but that component is not displaying in that component group. see the pic sample2.png

But, when i added a editconfig node to the component, it is displaying in that component group. In case of classic ui component, only classic ui dialog with component is displayed in the component group.

I don't understand how it is working, kindly help here me to understand the that how it is working in touch ui.

Thanks,

Shishira

Hi,

Please see this:

If you want to see the component in touch UI components list. The component Should have cq:editConfig node

Addtionally:

Please check the section Dialog Replacement.

- One of the nice features about the cq:EditConfig is you can use it to get components to show up in the sidekick which do not have a dialog. This is something that I see every so often, usually with the developer instead creating an empty dialog. To get around this, simply create a cq:EditConfig where the cq:actions has every action except edit.
