AEM 6.4. Retrieve values from another dialog.

This is the way i was achieving it.

I just wanted to understand if there was something else we could work with. Like Component A taking values directly from Component B.

Thats all ^^

By the way, thanks that was the answer

You can try other way around, read all card list component and and make it available as dropdown in card component.

I'll try same and will update you.

Exactly. That's the problem. 2 or more same components will generate a random suffix.

I was thinking about java, get parents node and then pick everything called "card * something". Then get every subtitle property value and put in an array.

This thing must refresh everytime in case author drop components or delete some.

Also there is a relationship. Because the subtitle property of component Card is the same that "List of card" has to render.

The best thing was to make Component List of card, pick properties directly in the Card component dialog.

Hi,

Thanks to elaborating. Now I can say that there is no relationship between components card and card-list. So you won't be able to reuse component dialog using granite include resource type.

Lets assume if you will make Ajax request to component card to get subtitle field value and set to on dialog load in card list component then you can do it but there is no possibility to always find card component until you didn't manually drag and drop, and what if there are more than 1 card component in the page or parsys. How will you make the request, because if you'll add more than 1 components in the same parsys then for other components node name is suffixed by random number.

I already checked that. It works because it replicate the fields. But my need is to populate those fields dynamically from the other dialog.

I try to explain better.

I have page.

I drop my component lets say "Card". It has 5 fields in the dialog that the author can change.

Then i drop my componet called "List of cards". The author can set 1 property called "List of cards Title.

What i need to achieve now is that this "List of cards" will render atleast 1 but even more, titles of the "card components".

Structure of Card component (everything authorable)

          -Title

          -subtitle

Structure of List of cards.

/////////Title (authorable)//////

          -subtitle (dinamycally from the Card component)

So if i have 4 cards with 4 subtitles.

The list of cards component will get 4 subtitles rendered dinamycally.

I wish now is clear

Hi,

Please check ​Touch UI Dialog - include part of another dialog ​

This is not what i need. Because i need the fields populated from the other one.

You can achieve using parent/child concept or Comp A should know the path of Comp B either way its tightly coupled.

you need to do following steps to achieve,

1. Add dialog load listener to Comp A ( which fires when dialog loads and opens)

2. Have AJAX call to hit the sling servlet

3. Have business logic in sling servlet or service to find the parent or B component and return the value

4. Assign the value to the Comp A field.

Note : You may need to educate the author to configure in some manner and its just one of the way to retrieve the values from other component.

Thanks!

yes, you can reuse dialog or part of of one component into another if that is what you are looking for.
