We have multiple sites. And for each site has content folder called "data". Our client wants that if he is going to add a rendering component to the page, the datasource would be coming from the data folder of the current editing site. But if he is going to change the content of a particular existing rendering component from the site, the datasource should be coming from the data folder of ALL SITES. Is this possible?

  • To return the datasource from "Data" folder of the current editing site, add below query in "Datasource Location" in rendering level:

    query:./ancestor-or-self::*[@@templatename='Site Root']/Global/Data

  • To return the datasource from the "Data" folder of all sites you use this query:

    query:..//*[@@templatename='Data template name']

  • Hi thanks for this. I am already done with this and what I need is the flexibility of the datasource. When adding component, it should show different datasource. When editing that component, it will show different datasource.

  • if you have SXA you could do it with $site/Data query
