Customize Homepage in AEM Classic UI

Hi,

I need to add a custom link on AEM HomePage screen. So, I overlaid wcm/core/content in apps and added node with jcr:mixinTypes : cq:Console. The link is getting displayed properly on the top of all above existing links.

What I need is to display link at the bottom of all already existing links.

How Can I do so?

Thanks,

Himanshu

Hi

Try adding "sling:vanityOrder": 301 (Bigger number then 300)

Link:- https://edivad.wordpress.com/2013/04/15/customising-cq5s-siteadmin-actions/

//Once you overlayed you could realise that your changes are not reflected by the UI. This is done by the sling:vanityOrder. As /siteadmin is a vanity path pointing to wcm/core/content/siteadmin. The /libs one are picked up. The default value (as of 5.5) is 300. Just update the one under /apps to a greater value. 301 is enough. As practice I like to have my vanitypath order as 400+ though.

I hope this will solve your problem.

Thanks and Regards

Also, sling:vanityOrder isn't working if we overlay hierarchy in apps. But, if add node in libs with lower vanityOrder value, then it displays at the bottom.
