Re: Sling Resource Rendering Inheritance

[Roy Teeuwen]

Hey Andreas,

I am not sure why it is not working for you that way, but that should 
definitely still work, there is no dependency whatsoever to a folder being 
named "components", see my next examples:

page-example-2.zip: I moved everything right under /apps/idoneus, no 
/components => still works
page-example-3.zip: I moved everything to under /libs/idoneus => still works

Greets,
Roy

 Hey Andreas,
 
 I made an example package in sling-9, you can use composum to install the 
 package.
 
 http://www12.zippyshare.com/v/nWrL1Azm/file.html
 
 It works for me, I made the following:
 
 /apps/idoneus/components/page => contains page.html and header.html which 
 does a data-sly-include of header.html
 /apps/idoneus/components/home => supertype is page, and overwrites the 
 header.html
 /content/idoneus/en => is a homepage, you can see that the header now says 
 "Header home page"
 /content/indoneus/en/test-page => is a normal page, has as header "Header 
 base page"
 
 Can you verify the package and maybe share what is different, so that it 
 also gets typed textual on the mailing list for future reference

Re: Sling Resource Rendering Inheritance

[Roy Teeuwen]

Hey Andreas,

My approach here is the following:

Libs is for libraries that enhance Sling => Composum is a library that is meant 
to be used to enhance Sling. They also give the benefit that when you package 
your library/module and let other developers use it, they can extend/override 
the actual libraries, like composum, by placing stuff under /apps/composum 
without having to actually change the code of the library itself in the /libs 
folder

Apps is for projects that use sling => A website for example. A website will 
normally not be extended, seeing as it is your own website, and you won't 
distribute that code to other developers for other projects.

I think for the most part this holds true.

Greets,
Roy

Re: Sling Resource Rendering Inheritance

[Andreas Schaefer Sr.]

Hi Roy

Thanks for all your help.

At the end it turns out that I made a mistake when using the HTL include:

This was my first include:



which fails. But using this:



does work.

So on another node I saw some Sling apps (samples and Composum) that place
their components under /libs instead of /apps.

In AEM developers were told not to put anything under /libs and now Sling it 
going
the other way. Is there a reason for this shift. As far as I know there’s no 
difference.

Thanks for all your help - Andy
