one of our requirement is see if we can make changes to the layout policy properties, where we can restrict the allowed components that gets displayed for selection.

 

i.e. we want only our project component group to be displayed there instead of the whole groups (ex: General, ACS Commons .. e.t.c) that are available for selection as shown below.

    Hi,

    /libs/cq/gui/components/authoring/allowedcomponents/AllowedComponents.java is responsible to fetch all the components and shows in the allowed component part.

    You can overlay /libs/cq/gui/components/authoring/allowedcomponents/allowedcomponents.html and add data-sly-test for ACS Common component groups

     

     

    <coral-search placeholder="${'Search' @ i18n}" class="js-cq-AllowedComponents-filter cq-AllowedComponents-filter"></coral-search> <coral-accordion variant="quiet" class="cq-AllowedComponents js-cq-AllowedComponents"> <!--/* render component groups */--> <sly data-sly-use.api="libs.cq.gui.components.authoring.allowedcomponents.AllowedComponents" data-sly-repeat.group="${api.groups}"> <sly data-sly-test=${group.title!='ACS Commons'} data-sly-use.template="componentgroup.html" data-sly-call="${template.componentGroup @ group=group}"/> </sly> </coral-accordion>

    is this resolved? Let me know if you still looking for solution.

    I created a custom allowed type with Generic approach. I will share the complete solution.

          Hi Arun,

          Thanks for the reply, But here I dont want any of those groups.

          I only need my project group. thats it.

           

          Is there a way to restrict to show only my project group for component selection?
