Dynamically updating AEM TouchUI Select Fields

You can develop an Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) TouchUI control and dynamically define values located in a Select field. For example, you can define values located in drop-down field B based on a value an AEM author selects in drop-down field A, as shown in the following illustration.


To dynamically update an AEM Touch UI select field, you have to use application logic, as discussed in this article. To read this article, click https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/creating-touchui-dynamic.html.

Creating an AEM Headline component

You can create an Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Headline component that you can use in your AEM web page. A headline component lets you website visitors view latest headlines about a specific subject. That is, you can enter keyword into an AEM dialog and the component will display headlines related to the keyword. For example, you can enter Facebook keyword and the component displays headlines, as shown in the following illustration.


This component uses the News Guardian API to retrieve the headlines. That is, a cusotm AEM service uses this API to retrieve the headlines based on the keyword an author enters into the component dialog.

Creating an AEM HTML Template Language movie component

You can develop a custom Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) HTL (formally Sightly) Movie component that lets your web site visitors engage with your site by performing these tasks:

  • view videos
  • view images
  • provide feedback about the movie
  • rate the movie
  • learn about information

You can develop the AEM Movie component by using HTL and digital assets, such as videos and images. Although this component is based on a movie use case, the AEM development concepts discussed in this development article can be directly applied to other AEM components that use AEM digital assets.

The following video shows the Movie component displaying video content.

Creating an AEM HTML Template Language component that uses a Multifield

You can create an Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) 6.x Touch UI component that can be used within the AEM Touch UI view and display dynamic information. For example, an author can enter information into a multi-field control in the components dialog, as shown in this illustration.



In the previous illustration, notice that the Page Name and Path controls are used within a multi-field control. When an author clicks the Add Field button, a new area that contains a Page Name control and Path control appears. This lets an author dynamically enter as many values as required into the dialog. These values are used by the component.

The component created in this article is a HTL component.  When using HTL, you can use Java to retrieve the values that an author enters into a dialog. For example:

 iBean.setPage(jObj.getString("page"));

As discussed in this article, the Java class that you use as part of a HTL component extends com.adobe.cq.sightly.WCMUsePOJO.

This article walks you though how to build this HTL component that uses a multi-field control within its dialog.
