Opening a Page in CQ5 WCM without Content Finder

Filed under: Configuration, Development — daygrep @ 10:07

In a CQ5 WCM authoring environment, when you open a page via double-click, by default the Content Finder is loaded and the actual content page displayed in a frame. While this is desirable in most cases, the are pages whose functionality does not require the presence of the Content Finder, e.g. tool templates that don’t allow content creation, like adding new paragraphs.

In order to prevent a page opening in the Content Finder view, choose from the following two options:

  • On the page component’s definition, set the following property:
    cq:defaultView="html"
    This is probably the preferable way, as renouncing the content finder in most cases pertains to all pages based on a template and thus page component.
  • On any content page, e.g. on /content/geometrixx/jcr:content, set the following property:
    cq:defaultView="html"
    This is the way to specifically set an exception where otherwise the page component would allow the content finder view (implicitly: cq:defaultView=”contentfinder”).
