Known issue

Adobe has identified the following known issue for AEM Guides 4.3.0 release:

  • Common page layout defined in the Basic template is not getting applied as default template.

    Add Common page layout as front and back cover then it starts coming for every page.

  • Issue occurs in Site Search while searching in the AEM site output page on AEM Service Pack 16 or 17.

    Workaround:

    1. Open file with the path: /libs/foundation/components/search/search.jsp in crx/de

    2. Replace line number 234 with the following code:

      code language-none 
      <a href="<c:url value="${hit.URL}" context="/"/>" onclick="trackSelectedResult(this, ${status.index + 1})"><%= xssAPI.filterHTML(((Search.Hit) pageContext.getAttribute("hit")).getTitle()) %></a>

*(Add the missing closing anchor tag at the end).

    3. Save the file.
