AEM - How to restrict a template from showing in a certain path

Hi!,

I wonder if someone has achieved what I'll post here. In order to allow a template to be created under a certain path, there is a flag allowedPaths that receives a regex.

So, if I want my template "test" to appear only under /content/www/xx/xx/test-templates and child elements, I can do this:

    

/content/www/.*/.*/test-templates(/.*)?

 

But what if I want to make the opposite? I want the template "test" to appear in every /content/www/xx/xx/ node and beyond, EXCEPT /content/www/xx/xx/test-templates and children?

I have tried several ways but no luck so far. Do you have some hint regarding this?

 

Thanks!

    Thank you! but those xx are intended to be anything (.*) and when you do this the regex changes :-\

      Hi,

      I found the pattern content\/www\/xxx\/xxx\/xxx\/legal\/(?!(test)).*$ this will work for your usecase 

      Kunal i think same as ur regex may be i am late :)

       

      Thanks

        You can try the following pattern for this use case-

        ^/content/www/xx/xx/(?!(test-templates)).*$

          Thank you sir! I took a look at that article and also asked this question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34905975/aem-how-to-restrict-a-template-from-showing-in-a-certain-path. There's a promising comment there, which probably I could use with allowedPaths in order to restrict those paths that does not match the given regex.

          I'll post my results here in a few :)

            See this KB:

            But there does not seem to be a way to restrict only a part of an allowed JCR path.
