Article summary
Discuss how to add the additional filter to the DAM search in AEM 6.2.
At the end of this
article you should be able to see Language filter as below and should be able to
filter assets based on the language selection.
Note: I added only 2 languages. We can add as many languages as we need.
Solution:
In AEM 6.2 in order to
update or add new functionality one need to edit the Search forms.
In this article I am
going to add a new filter for the dam search, which will filter the assets
based on the language property selected for the asset.
Below are the steps to
be followed.
Creating language nodes:
Let’s first create the
language nodes that will appear in the newly created language filter.
1. Overlay the folder /libs/dam/options/predicates.
Because this folder contains all other filter values.
2. Under the /apps/dam/options/predicates, create a
folder named languages of type “sling:OrderedFolder”.
3. Right click on languages and select Create,
Create Node. Enter the following values:
Name: en_in
Type: nt:unstructured
4. For the en_in node add the properties as below
5. Create different languages nodes as in the
screenshot.
6. Save all.
Creating new filter using language nodes.
Now lets create the new
filer for the DAM search rail.
2.
Click on the Adobe
Experience Manager on top left corner.
3.
Click on tools as below
4 Click on search forms.
5.
Select Assets Admin
Search Rail and click edit.
6.
Drag and drop the options predicate from the select predicate
tab
7.
Select the new options filed
and enter the values as in below.
8.
Value of the “Property
Name” filed should be set properly. In this case this should be “jcr:content/metadata/dc:language”.
This is how the language vale will be saved for the asset in content/dam.
9.
For the option path
browse to the earlier created languages folder under /apps/dam/options/predicates/languages
and select the languages.
10.
Click on plus sign after the selection.
11.
Double check if all the values entered are
appropriate and say done.
12.
Once you click on Done, new
content will be created under /conf/global/settings/dam/search/facets/assets.
Here our new filter values will be saved.
That’s
it. Done.!!
Now
go to any asset. And update the asset with language property ands save.
Now open Assets.html
Click on Adobe experience manager, select assets, click on search icon on top right.
In the filter section expand on language option and select English(India), you should be able to see the filtered image as below.
