Catalog Essentials

This page provides the essential information for working with the catalog feature of enablement community sites.

The catalog feature, when included in a community site, allows community members to browse and select enablement resources listed in a catalog.

The enablement catalog component allows community members to access a catalog of enablement resources.  The use of AEM tags is an important part of managing the appearance of enablement resources in a catalog.  

See Tagging Enablement Resources.

A community site structure that includes the Catalog function, includes a configured enablement catalog component.

When a Catalog function has been added to a community site, it is possible to restrict the enablement resources and learning paths which appear in the catalog by specifying a pre-filter.  This is done by setting properties on the instance of the catalog resource for the site.

Using the example of the Enablement Tutorial :

• on author
• using CRXDE 
  • such as http://<server>:<port>/crx/de
• navigate to the catalog resource on the catalog page
  • for example, /content/sites/enable/en/catalog/jcr:content/content/primary/catalog
• add a child filters node
  • select the catalog node
  • select Create Node
    • Name : filters
    • Type : nt:unstructured
  • select Save All
• add se_resource-tags property to the filters node
  • select the filters node
  • add a Multi property
    • Name : se_resource-tags
    • Type : String
    • Value : <enter a TagID>
    • select Multi
    • select Add
      • in popup dialog, select '+' to add additional pre-filter TagIDs
• re-publish the community site

The pre-filter TagIDs must exactly match the tags applied to the enablement resources. These are visible in the resources folder for the site as the values of the property se_resource-tags.
