Reading data stored in separate nodes design dialog

Hi,

 

I know to read design dialog values through for example: ${currentStyle.titleType} 

 

But how do you read design dialog data stored as separate nodes below component policy node. 

 

I have a multi field values stored as item nodes below component policy node.

 

I am trying to read it using data sly list ${curentStyle.link} which does not work as link is a child node below component policy node.

i appreciate any help, thanks.

Hi @sreenu539,

For getting policy programmatically, we need to make use of ContentPolicyManager and ContentPolicy API (We will be able to gain access to ContentPolicyManager from ResourceResolver)

ContentPolicyManager cntPolicyMgr = rescResolver.adaptTo(ContentPolicyManager.class);

Go through the methods exposed by the API and use accordingly. 

We will be able to get the policy and its properties (properties on the policy node). For accessing child nodes under policy node, should be either Resource or Node API.

@nj2 

I have written a sling model to retrieve parent style node. getAllowedLinks() { allowedLinks = request.getResourceResolver().getResource(currentStyle.getPath()).getChild("links"); return allowedLinks; } in HTL: data-sly-repeat : articleInsightsModel.allowedLinks

    Is there a way to get content resource from sling request - I am trying to use content policy manager to populate data source elements for a dropdown in cq:dialog 

    Resource contentResource = resolver.getResource((String) request.getAttribute(Value.CONTENTPATH_ATTRIBUTE));

    Value.CONTENTPATH_ATTRIBUTE is displayed as deprecated
