A component is CQ is a smallest unit that can dropped on a page and content author can fill in any content in it. Content can be of two types:
- Page specific (in this case component dialog is used)
- Design/Global (in this case design_dialog is used)
The way a dialog or design_dialog is defined is exactly same, there are only two differences:
- The obvious difference is in their name i.e. “dialog” and “design_dialog”
- The way properties (stored content/values) are access:
- Retrieve values from dialog (widget) to jsp: String var= properties.get("
","");
- Retrieve values from design_dialog to jsp: String var= currentStyle.get("
","");
Content/values stored via get stored at page level under component’s node. On the other hand, content/value stored via a design dialog is store at design path of your teamplate (see cq:designPath property of root node of your application/page), usually this location is under /etc/design/
Could you clarify my doubt .
ReplyDeleteHow to access the design dialog in more than one template?
Thanks
thank you. it helped
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI think there would be many ways to acces the design dialog in more that one template.
What i think is:
1.First Identify that your template is refering to which page component.
2.Now to that component and create a dialog/desing dialog.
3.Inherit the property of the other dialog which you want to use in your template through the following.
xtype: cq:include and pathparameter="path of the dialog to be used.infinity.json"
and loie wise you can use your dialog property any where in the template wherever you want.
