Foundation Components foundation-components
The foundation components were designed for use when authoring content for a standard web page. They form a subset of the components available out-of-the-box for a standard installation of AEM.
Some are immediately available through component browser. Various others are also available by using design mode (if the page is based on a static template) or by editing the template (if the page is based on an editable template).
The use of foundation components is supported, but they have been mostly deprecated and superseded by Core Components which offer more extensibility and flexibility.
The components are available on the Components tab of the side panel of the page editor when editing a page.
You can select a component and drag it to the required location on your page. You can then edit it using:
Components are sorted according to various categories called component groups including:
General general
The General components are the basic components that you use to create content.
Account Item account-item
You can define a link with title and description.
Adaptive Image adaptive-image
The Adaptive Image foundation component generates images that are sized to fit the window in which the web page is opened. To use the component, you provide an image resource either from the file system or DAM. When the web page is opened, the web browser downloads a copy of the image that has been resized so that it is suitable for the current window.
The following characteristics can determine the size of the window:
- Device screen: Mobile devices typically display web pages so that they extend across the entire screen.
- Web browser window size: Users of laptop and desktop computers can resize web browser windows.
For example, the component generates a small image when the web page is opened on a cell phone, and a medium-sized image when opened on a tablet. On a laptop, the component creates and delivers a large image when the page is opened in a maximized web browser. When the web browser is resized to fit a portion of the screen, the component adapts by delivering a smaller image and refreshes the view.
Supported Image Formats supported-image-formats
You can use image files of the following file name extensions with the Adaptive Image component:
- .jpg
- .jpeg
- .png
- .gif **
Images Sizes and Quality images-sizes-and-quality
The following table lists the width of the image that is generated for the given viewport width. The height of the generated image is calculated to maintain a constant aspect ratio and no whitespace occurs inside the image edge. Cropping can be used to avoid whitespace.
When the image is a JPEG image, the viewport size can also influence the JPEG quality. The following JPEG qualities are possible:
- Low (0.42)
- Medium (0.82)
- High (1.00)
Properties properties
The dialog lets you edit properties for your instance of the Adaptive Image component, many of which are common with the Image component on which it is based. The properties are available in two tabs:
-
Image
-

Drag an image from the content finder or click to open a browse window where you can load an image. After the image is loaded, you can crop the image, rotate it, or delete it. To zoom in and out of the image, use the slide bar beneath the image (above the OK and Cancel buttons) -
Crop
Clip part of an image. Drag the border to crop the image. -

Carousel carousel
The Carousel Component lets you display images associated with individual pages:
- one at a time
- for a short time
- in an order you specify
- with a time delay that you specify
Clickable controls also let the user cycle through the displayed pages in real time, on demand. Selecting the currently visible page image takes you to that page. In other words, the Carousel acts as a navigation control.
Properties properties-1
These properties are available in two tabs:
-
Carousel
Here you specify how the carousel operates:- Play Speed
The time in milliseconds before the next slide is shown. - Transition Time
The time in milliseconds for the transition between two slides. - Controls Style
Various options are available from a pulldown menu; for example, Prev / Next Buttons, Top-Right Switches.
- Play Speed
-
List
Here you specify how pages are included in your Carousel:
-
Build list using
There are several ways to build a page list - Child Pages, Fixed List, Search, or Advanced Search (all described below).
No matter which method you choose, the pages you include in your list should each already have an image associated with the page. It is this image that is displayed in the Carousel. If there is no image for a given page under that page’s Page Properties, you should associate an image with the page before beginning. If you do not, the Carousel displays a mostly blank page. See Editing Page Properties.
Depending on the item you choose, a new panel appears:-
Options for Child Pages
- Parent Page
Specify a path either manually or using the selector. Leave empty to use the current page as parent.

/jcr:content/par
For example:
/content/geometrixx-outdoors/en/equipment/biking/cajamara/jcr:content/par
After configuration, the content appears exactly as on the source page. The fact that it is a reference is only seen when you open the component for editing:

Select the number of columns that you want rendered. Once created, each column has its own link for dragging components or assets when adding content.
-
Form form
Form components are used to create forms for visitors to submit input. Forms and form components can be used to collect information including user feedback (for example, a customer satisfaction questionnaire) and user information (for example, user registration).
Forms are built up from several different components:
-
Form
The form component defines the beginning and end of a new form on a page. Other components can then be placed in between these elements, such as tables, and downloads.
-
Form fields and elements
Form fields and elements can include text boxes, radio buttons, and images. The user often completes an action in a form field, such as typing text. See individual form elements for more information.
-
Profile Components
Profile components relate to visitor profiles used for social collaboration and other areas where visitor personalization is required.
The following shows an example form. It is composed of the Form component (start and end), with two Form Text fields used for input, a General Text field used for the lead-in text and a Submit button.
Settings Common to (Many) Form Components settings-common-to-many-form-components

When configuring any of the form components, the following tabs are available in the dialog:
