Demo | Package Install


Metadata Form in Upload Dialog





Metadata Validation



Metadata in CRX

Solution

1) Login to CRXDE Lite (http://localhost:4502/crx/de), create folder /apps/eaem-assets-file-upload-with-metadata

2) Metadata form shown in Upload Dialog is Authoring Dialog; Create the dialog /apps/eaem-assets-file-upload-with-metadata/dialog, add metadata form nodes

3) Create node /apps/eaem-assets-file-upload-with-metadata/clientlib of type cq:ClientLibraryFolder, add String[] property categories with value dam.gui.coral.fileupload String[] property dependencies with value underscore

4) Create file (nt:file) /apps/eaem-assets-file-upload-with-metadata/clientlib/js.txt, add

            fileupload-with-metadata.js

5) Create file (nt:file) /apps/eaem-assets-file-upload-with-metadata/clientlib/fileupload-with-metadata.js, add the following code

            //jcr:content/metadata created by the DAM Update asset workflow may not be available when the below post
            //call executes; ideally, post the parameters to aem, a scheduler runs and adds the metadata when metadata
            //node becomes available
            $.ajax({
                type : 'POST',
                url : assetMetadataPath,
                data  : metadata
            })
        }
    }

})(jQuery, jQuery(document));

6) #212 is for demo purposes only; in real world implementations, the metadata node created by DAM Update Asset workflow may not yet exist yet, when the ajax post metadata call executes. Replace this direct call with a servlet temporarily storing the form metadata and update the metadata node (when it becomes available) in a scheduler or listener
