AEM5.6: Socoadmin: reply button and refresh issues in moderation UI

Posted on April 23, 2013 by dmcmahon | Comments (0)

Issue

If you are using the classic UI (/socoadmin) for social moderation in AEM5.6, you may notice some strange behaviour as follows

Reply button disabled
1) Go to http://localhost:4502/socoadmin
2) Select a blog comment from Geometrixx

Result: reply button is always disabled.  Expected: reply button to be enabled for blog comments.

Refresh issue
1) Go to http://localhost:4502/socoadmin
2) Select a forum post from Geometrixx
3) Click the Deny button

Result: status remains OK (same for Approve and Spam actions).  Expected: page refreshes and status is updated to Denied.  Note: Refreshing the page manually shows the correct status.

Reason

These issues are caused by a missing property (id=cq-collabadmin) on the /libs/collab/core/content/admin node in the repository related to the collaboration objects.

Solution

These issues will be fixed in a future version of AEM.  These issues do not occur in CQ5.5, or using the new touch UI in AEM5.6.

Workaround

To resolve the issues (no refresh and reply disabled), install the following overlay for AEM5.6: 44362-socoadminFix-1.0.zip

This overlays the /libs/collab/core/content/admin node and adds the missing id=cq-collabadmin property. Afterwards the reply button in socoadmin is enabled for blog comments, and a refresh occurs as expected after an Approve/Deny/Spam is executed.

CQ5: preview mode in sidekick does not refresh automatically

Posted on March 12, 2012 by dmcmahon | Comments (6)

Issue

If you are using the sidekick to switch between edit, design and preview modes, you may notice that the pages refreshes automatically when switching to edit and design mode, but not when switching to preview mode.

This can cause problems if you are using the WCMMode methods and properties in your application to display a different page view depending on the current mode (i.e. using conditional logic based on WCMMode.DESIGN, WCMMode.EDIT and WCMMode.PREVIEW).  If the page does not refresh when switching to preview mode, then it will display the same objects and state as it did in edit mode.

Solution

The solution is simply to force a page refresh automatically when switching to preview mode.

  1. Open /libs/wcm/core/components/init/init.jsp
  2. Add the previewReload property as follows and save the changes: 
    CQ.WCM.launchSidekick("<%= currentPage.getPath() %>", {
    propsDialog: "<%= dlgPath == null ? "" : dlgPath %>",
    locked: <%= currentPage.isLocked() %>,
    previewReload: "true"
});
  3. Now CQ is setup to refresh automatically when switching to preview mode.
