Adobe Experience Manager Sites

I've been exploring ways to fetch and manage data from AEM (Adobe Experience Manager) in my React JS application, and I've come across two hooks: useQuery and useQueries. I understand that useQuery is for single queries, and useQueries is for multiple queries, but I'd like more insights into their usage and best practices. Can someone provide a detailed explanation or example of how to use these? 

There is custom workflow to approve content created by author. We have Content Authors and Content Approver groups. We have used Participant step to approve content and checked checkbox to send email notification to the user group selected in thatParticipant step. We have SMTP credentials provided but not sure how to send email notifications using Day CQ Mail Service. I have added SMTP details in Day CQ Mail Service OSGI config. Do I need to write custom Participant or process step to send email notification to different users using SMTP credentials?

I'm working on a project in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) and need some guidance on managing and optimizing client libraries. How do you efficiently organize and include client libraries in AEM components, and what best practices do you follow to ensure a smooth development and deployment process?

In Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), we have several options like categories, dependencies, embed, allowProxy, cssProcessor, and jsProcessor for managing client libraries. How do you utilize these features in your AEM projects? What are your best practices for optimizing frontend asset delivery and performance using client libraries?

I need understanding of cache invalidation in AEM Dispatcher, particularly regarding the 'statfileslevel' setting and its significance in cache management. Can someone explain how this setting affects cache invalidation and share some best practices for optimizing it?Additionally, I'd appreciate insights on how AEM Dispatcher combines various cache flushing strategies and its role in ensuring a balance between content freshness and optimal performance.

I am using AEM cloud SDK in local, and the "mysite" content is generated using apache maven aem project archetype version 39 with frontend module as 'generic'. However, the mysite content is visible under classic UI (siteadmin#/content/mysite), when the page is opened I am able to edit the page in touch UI as well.   Can anyone please help me why 'mysite' is not showing up under /sites.html/content/? Thank you in advance.

Two questions: How do you edit a template (Tools > Template) that displays this message when trying to edit: "TEMPLATE EDITOR: This template is not a draft anymore and might already be referenced by one or more pages. Editing the structure will affect all the pages referencing it."? How do you make one of the fields in this existing template a required field?  

We are building an Article page using HTL components. The content for these pages are being authored in a Content Fragment.   We have a ‘Hero’ component that has a mixture of text and an image.   We want the image to be adaptive using the ‘srcset’ attribute and so after reading the docs for the core Image component we overlayed it. Sure enough we now have the ability to define the rendition sizes for device widths using Template policies. Good stuff.   Now, unless I’m reading it wrong the logic inside both core Image model v3 and AdaptiveImageServlet specify that if the component is part of a Template's structure (which it is) then it expects to use property “fileReference” from that component in order to reference the image asset.   However, we are building that page using components that are reading from a Content Fragment including which image to display.   Can anyone think of a solution?   Much appreciated.   Rick

We're migrating to aemaacs from AEM 6.5. We have a custom cloud configuration in place for datalayer. We followed this guide - https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-64/developing/extending-aem/extending-cloud-services/extending-cloud-config-custom-cloud.html?lang=en in initial setup. Is there any such guide for aemaacs? We're not able to get the existing config work for cloud publisher. While running repoinit script to set ACL for anonymous user we're facing PathNotFoundException for /etc/cloudservices/*.

Is there a way can we get the list of content on the first activation date of the page within the specific time frame?

Hello everyone,  We have a special request from the client where in we need change the mode in which package is created and installed using curl command to "Merge". Currently, we are using curl commands via Jenkins Groovy to create the package and install them from one instance to another. But since we don't specify any mode , the default behaviour is "Replace" for the contents which get installed on a specific instance.    Is there a way we can achieve this workspace filter using curl command ?   @arunpatidar @venkateshsh1 

Hi Team, I have a requirement for my servlets where I need to verify the end user access in AEM user group. If he is part of some xyz AEM group then only I want to allow him/her to access some /content resource. If he is not part of xyz group then I want to to reject the user request saying unauthorized.  I have 10 servlets created and for all the servlets I need to create a one Servlet FILTER as a pre-processer to verify him/her against user group access. I want to create a single filter for all servlets where I need to verify the user for AEM user group access in the FILTER itself. If he is part of XYZ group then allow him to access the original servlet and content. If he is not reject the request in filter itself by giving 401. Now how can I create the Servlet Filter for this use case? @lukasz-m @anchal  Thanks,Ramesh

I would want to understand the various types of indexes available in AEM and when to use them effectively. Could you share some light on the following aspects? Lucene Index: What is the role of Lucene indexes in AEM, and in what scenarios would you recommend using them? Can you provide a real-world example where a Lucene index is the optimal choice? Solr Index: How does Solr indexing differ from Lucene, and what are the advantages of using a Solr index? Can you share a practical use case where a Solr index, integrated with a remote Solr server, makes a significant impact?
