\n
In this post, I will explain dialogs and design dialogs in details.\u00a0<\/span>When we talk about dialogs then first question comes in our mind is\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
What are dialog and design dialogs in CQ & why we should use them?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/div>\n
Dialogs & Design Dialogs<\/i><\/b> are the collection of widgets used to get input from author. these are the key elements of a component as they provides a way of interaction between author and a CQ5 component. It means\u00a0<\/span>values inserted via author in these dialog, works as input for a component in CQ5.<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span>Note : “Design dialogs are special kind of dialog those are available only at page design mode”.<\/i><\/b><\/span>
\n
\n<\/i><\/b><\/span>Next question comes in our mind is –\u00a0<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>Difference between dialog and design dialog?<\/span><\/i><\/b>
\nSome Differences between these two are listed below-<\/span>
\n1). Availability<\/span><\/i><\/b>
\ndialog are available to an author in edit mode of the page while design dialog are available to an author only at page design mode.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>2). Naming Convention<\/span><\/i><\/b>
\nFor creating a dialog you have to create a cq:Dialog node with name dialog<\/i><\/b> but for creating a design dialog you have to create a cq:Dialog node with name design_dialog<\/i><\/b>.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>3). Value Storage<\/span><\/i><\/b>
\nIf you want to save the values of widget of a\u00a0<\/span>Dialog or Design Dialog<\/i><\/b>\u00a0then you have to specify<\/span>
\n“.\/<property name>”\u00a0<\/b>ex. .\/title\u00a0<\/b>Here<\/span>
\n“.\/”<\/span><\/b>\u00a0 :\u00a0<\/span>Represent the location of the current component.<\/i>\u00a0<\/span>
\n
\n<\/i><\/b><\/span>For Dialogs\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b>
\ndialog values are stored under pages jcr:content node, located under\u00a0<\/span>\/content<\/i><\/b>\u00a0directory.<\/span>
\nThe values of .\/<property name><\/i><\/b> will be stored at\u00a0<\/span>
\n
\n<\/i><\/b><\/span>\/content\/page\/jcr:content\/par\/<component node> or<\/i><\/b><\/span>
\n\/content\/page\/jcr:content\/<component node><\/i><\/b>
\n
\n<\/span>as a key value pair & i<\/span>f you define .\/<dummy node>\/<property name><\/b><\/i>\u00a0<\/span>then\u00a0<\/span>First <\/span><dummy node><\/i><\/b> will be <\/span>created<\/i> under<\/i> <\/b>component node<\/b> <\/i>and then\u00a0<\/span>property will be stored under that newly created <\/span><dummy node> <\/i><\/b>node, so that new location becomes\u00a0<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>\/content\/page\/jcr:content\/par\/<component node>\/<dummy Node> or<\/span><\/i><\/b>
\n\/content\/page\/jcr:content\/<component node>\/<dummy Node><\/span><\/i><\/b>
\n
\n<\/span><\/i><\/b>may be you drop you component under a parsys or you directly include it to the page component JSP then it will be available directly under jcr:content node<\/i><\/b>.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span><\/i><\/b>For design dialog<\/span><\/i><\/b>
\nDesign dialog values are stored under design page located under\u00a0\/etc\/design<\/i><\/b> directory. If you set the a template level property named as cq:desingPath<\/i><\/b> pointing to design page ex. \/etc\/design\/geometrixx<\/i><\/b>, then all the design dialog property will be stored at\u00a0<\/span>
\n
\n<\/i><\/b><\/span>\/etc\/design\/geometrixx\/jcr:content\/<ComponentName>\/par\/<component> or<\/span><\/i><\/b>
\n\/etc\/design\/geometrixx\/jcr:content\/<ComponentName>\/<component><\/span><\/i><\/b>
\n
\n<\/span>Here\u00a0<\/span>
\n<ComponentName><\/b>\u00a0refer\u00a0to the component to which your template points <\/i>ex. PageContent. &<\/span>
\n<Component><\/b> refer to the component whose values are to be stored at this location.\u00a0<\/i><\/span>
\nex. title component, text component etc.<\/span>
\nmay be you drop you component under a parsys or you directly include it to the page component JSP then it will be available directly under jcr:content node<\/i><\/b>.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>if you don’t define\u00a0<\/span>cq:desingPath<\/i><\/b>\u00a0property then default location for design properties will be selected\u00a0<\/span>i.e. it uses default design page under \/etc\/design directory.<\/i>\u00a0New location becomes\u00a0<\/span>
\n
\n<\/i><\/b><\/span>\/etc\/design\/default\/jcr:content\/<ComponentName>\/par\/<component> or<\/span><\/i><\/b>
\n\/etc\/design\/default\/jcr:content\/<ComponentName>\/<component>.<\/span><\/i><\/b>
\n
\n<\/span>.\/<dummy node>\/<property node><\/i><\/b> this case will be treated similar to a dialog property. i.e. it will create a <dummy node><\/i><\/b> & then save the properties values so that new location becomes<\/span>
\n
\n<\/i><\/b>\/etc\/design\/default\/jcr:content\/<ComponentName>\/par\/<component>\/<dummy\u00a0<\/i><\/b>Node> or<\/i><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>
\n\/etc\/design\/default\/jcr:content\/<ComponentName>\/<component>\/<dummy\u00a0<\/i><\/b>Node><\/i><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4). Accessing Values in CQ5 JSPs<\/span><\/i><\/b>
\nthe value of dialog are accessible via properties object<\/i><\/b> & a design dialog properties are accessed using currentStyle<\/i><\/b> object<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
