Cant able to get the Template Name in Publish Instance

Hi Guys,

Needed your help. I am using currentPage.getTemplate() in one of my design_dialog components for getting the Template Name (currentPage.getTemplate().getName()) and it works fine in my Author Instance.

But in Publish Instance the same component is throwing Null pointer exception. On debugging the same, i found that the currentPage.getTemplate() is returning null .

I am bit confused on this, please explain me what exactly is happening and how to get the current Page Template name in Publish Instance. Please help on this, Thanks.

Regards,

Saran

I guess you are trying to read it as anonymous user. By default anonymous user doesn't have even read rights on template path.

So when you do currentPage.getTemplate().getName() it is going to return null all the time.

To fix this, you will need to provide read rights to anonymous user on your template path.

You can provide read rights from OSGI Console using config option available for Day CQ ACL Setup Service (com.day.cq.security.ACLSetup), put the entry like allow;jcr:read;anonymous;/apps/<project_identifier>/templates, I cannot recall if CQ restart is required, you can cross check from permissions console tab if it took new permissions for anonymous user.

You can also directly go and configure permissions for using the permissions tab.

As per me, configuring via OSGI Config is better approach as you can push those configure using config XML's.

Hope it helps.

Instead of providing read access,

We can use ${pageProperties.cq:template}

    This is a much easier way, without changing permissions:

    page.getProperties().get("cq:template","")

    best,
