Solved

Last week we encountered a bug that took us a few days to fix. We had accidentally named an nt:folder node config and non-admin users didn't have read access to its children. Interestingly this node name had been chosen by one of our CQ5 experts. After struggling for hours and tearing apart all our provisioning scripts, the same person who had caused the bug had a light-bulb moment and remembered that CQ5 treats nodes named config in a special manner.Had the node been rendered with a special icon in CQ5, it would have probably saved us a couple of days (and a few thousand dollars) worth of investigations.As such I think CQ5 should render special nodes with special icons that instantly convey the message that, well, they are special.Thanks in advance. PLUS: My profile's activity page has not been updated in the past couple of months or so. Also a couple of the messages I had recently posted have vanished from the forum. Please fix!

Hi All,I am trying out basic code examples in 5.6.1 AEM instance.For example, I was trying the article "http://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/programmatically-accessing-cq-content-using.html" and it requires eclipse, jackrabbit standalone jar and it works fine.However, if I have to try some other basic code examples, I am not at all getting how do I do it.I have local maven repository,eclipse. I could follow as it is the article http://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/creating-custom-aem-workflow-steps.html.1] But in case I have to write my own code[say some custom workflow code], should I follow the same steps as mentioned in http://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/creating-custom-aem-workflow-steps.html[excepting that replace the java code with mine].2] The reason I am having problem is if I make use of the above step, in eclipse it doesn''t give me the intelli-sense option and also it throws error against every line[irrespective of the code being correct or

Adobe Experience Manager, Version 5.6.1.20130606. We are invoking CQ Garbage Collection with delete=true to reduce the size of crx-quickstart/repository, however GC hangs and has no impact on the disk usage.  We have tried invoking GC from the CQ JMX UI and from a curl command line:curl -v -u admin:password --data "delete=true" 'http://localhost:8880/system/console/jmx/com.adobe.granite%3Atype%3DRepository/op/runDataStoreGarbageCollection/java.lang.Boolean'After a few minutes, the CQ error.log shows "com.day.crx.persistence.tar.utils.DataStoreGarbageCollector Scan completed" and there is no more GC-related logging afterwards.  The curl command never completes, and apparently nothing has changed inside the repository on the filesystem.Please help us figure out how to make GC work here, thanks!

For Example:aem.domain.co.uk - configured as virtual host - uses dispatcher-handler and uses 'dispatcher.any' for configurationauthor.domain.co.uk - configured as virtual host - uses dispatcher-handler and uses 'author_dispatcher.any' for configurationI have tried this in various combinations as follows:apache.conf - all normal <IfModule dispatcher> statement with the default settings.aem.domain.co.uk - use the <Directory /> with the <IfModule> and set-handler declarationauthor.domain.co.uk - same as above.each of the virtual host tries to override the DispatcherConfig parameter - but this doesnt seem to work?Is there a way to achieve this?

[img]c.png[/img]Hi,Can anyone help me? Is it possible to customise the quickstart name as seen in the image above?Because i have different instances running at the same time, apart form distinguishing between the author and publish by the port number, i would also love to see what project instance i am running. i don't know if it is possible to do.For example from : Adobe CQ5 Quickstart (build 20120220)  to something like Adobe CQ5 Quickstart ( Instance for something else)Kindly Assist?

When a tag is deleted on the author instance, it automatically gets removed from the publish instances.  I wanted to know if this was the normal behaviour? I haven't found documentation on this.Thanks.

Hi,Let's assume that we have a website stored under /content/acme/site-1.We want this site to be accessible via preview-site-1.acmesites.com as well as site-1.com.Our deployment has only one dispatcher in front of publisher instances.Right now this is causing some issues for us: As content for both preview-site-1.acmesites.com and site-1.com are both stored under, e.g., /htdocs/acme/site-1, the content for the domains are over-writing each other.So when there's a link such as <a href="https://forums.adobe.com/content/acme/site-1/contact-us">Contact Us</a> in the home page, for example, depending on the order of the entries in /etc/map.publish it might be transformed into <a href="site-1.com/site-1/contact-us">Contact Us</a>, or <a href="preview-site-1.acmesites.com/contact-us">Contact Us</a>.And the same link will be used on both web sites.So the user might go to site-1.com, click on the link, and unexpectedly be transferred to preview-site-1.acmesit

Hi, I want to execute some code before the transition to any PARTICIPANT step to set up some properties in the workflow (mostly to be used in the email template)I know that I can create a process step and execute it before any PARTICIPANT step but it doesn't seems to be the best way to solve this problem.Another alternative I'm thinking is to create an EventHandler that set the properties in a NodeTransition to a PARTICIPANT step.But I have two questions:.- Is there any way to guarantee that this handler will be executed before the EMailNotificationService event handler?If there is no way to guarantee this, is there any other way to achieve my requirement (execute some code before a PARTICIPANT step in a generic way).- For some reason when the new handler update the workflow the changes are not persisted.I tried two alternatives but none are working: WorkItem currentItem = (WorkItem) event.getProperty(WorkflowEvent.WORK_ITEM); currentItem.getWorkflowData().getMetaDataMap().put("test",

Hello, I have two questions:  Is it possible to disable the free crop, yet, retain and use other custom defined crop configurations. We do not want authors to crop the image using the free form tool, but, should be able to crop based on the pre-defined crop dimensions.  Is it possible to apply a default crop config on the image as soon as "crop" is clicked or image is loaded in to the html5smartImage.  I'm not looking to extend/create my own component based on html5msartImage, rather wondering whether there is any config or ootb way to do it?From my understanding, this cannot be achieved, wanted experts here to validate me. Best,Sivaram

Hello,We've got SAML working and autocreate users and assign group. We'd like to obtain other attributes from the SAML assertion including firstname, lastname and email that our idP provides and populate the auto created user.1) Is this configuration that isn't documented or should be autopopulated if our idP provided correct attribute names?or2) Do we need to extend/copy the SAML 2.0 handler and does anyone have examples or tips on how we might do this?Thanks,Sheamus
