The right push at the right time can launch a world of new possibility. That’s an idea we’ve employed successfully through our business, and now the time has come to apply it to something closer to home. This April, we will be attending the Albany Autism Society’s 11th Annual Gala “Unlocking the Possibilities”  to show [...]

The trial project with CQ is finished. There’s a TwinTechs home page template, and a home created with text/image components, using that template. One of the trickier parts was getting the template and components to obey the CSS from the original site. I ran into an issue where the CSS paths to images, such as [...]

To inspect the CSS of a page in CQ, when you’re in the WCM, double-clicking on a content page will open that page with a URL like this: http://yourhostipaddress:4502/cf#/content/applicationname/path/pagename.html If you use a browser add-on like Firebug to inspect the CSS, you will be inspecting the WCM, itself. In order to inspect your page, directly, [...]

The CRXDE Lite editor can exhibit some troublesome behavior:  If you want to delete a node, and then replace it with a node of the same name, you must save in between operations, or the new operation will fail (the error message will not tell you how to resolve the issue). Sometimes the “revert” operation [...]

I encountered an issue with not being able to view my custom page components in the Sidekick tool.  I was missing a paragraph system node, often referred to as a “par” or “parsys” node, at the same hierarchical level in the Java Content Repository as my content page’s jcr:content node, with attributes jcr:primaryType and sling:resourceType [...]

After setting up my own CQ instance, a move from CQ 5.4 to 5.5, I immediately attempted a site import, and this succeeded without any errors.   Even the newer version backfills “geometrixx” in places where your new application name should be. The guide to using the site importer, including pulling individual components from an [...]
