Creating Custom AEM Page Template with Adobe Campaign Form Components

This page explains how to build a custom page template that uses Adobe Campaign Form components by examining how the Geometrixx-outdoors template ( /apps/geometrixx-outdoors/components/page_campaign_profile) is implemented, and points you to important information you may need when creating your own custom template.

To create a custom AEM page template using Adobe Campaign Form components, make sure you have the following:

1. Correct resourceSuperType

   Make sure the page-component inherits from mcm/campaign/components/profile.

   This is required for the servlets to get and save info

   • com.day.cq.mcm.campaign.servlets.TemplateListServlet
   • com.day.cq.mcm.campaign.servlets.SaveProfileServlet

   

2. ClientContext Settings

   When you look at the clientcontext settings ( /etc/designs/geometrixx-outdoors/jcr:content/page_campaign_profile) you see the following settings:

   • ClientContext points to /etc/clientcontext/campaign
   • There is also an extra config node.

   

3. head.jsp (/apps/geometrixx-outdoors/components/page_campaign_profile/head.jsp?lang=en)

   In head.jsp, you see the following lines that use the clientcontext-config and the cloudservice-hook:

   <cq:include path="config" resourceType="cq/personalization/components/clientcontext_optimized/config"/>
   <sling:include path="contexthub" resourceType="granite/contexthub/components/contexthub"/>
   <cq:include script="/libs/cq/cloudserviceconfigs/components/servicelibs/servicelibs.jsp"/>
   

4. body.jsp (/apps/geometrixx-outdoors/components/page_campaign_profile/body.jsp?lang=en)

   In body.jsp, the cloud services are loaded at the bottom of the page:

   <cq:include path="cloudservices" resourceType="cq/cloudserviceconfigs/components/servicecomponents"/>
   

5. Campaign page properties

   To be able to select an Adobe Campaign template the page-properties are extended with the Campaign tab:

   /apps/geometrixx-outdoors/components/page_campaign_profile/dialog/items/tabs/items/campaign

   

6. Template settings.

   In the template ( /apps/geometrixx-outdoors/templates/campaign_profile/jcr:content) you see the following default values:

   acMapping	mapRecipient (for Adobe Campaign 6.1), profile (for Adobe Campaign Standard)
   acTemplateId	mail
