How do I configure my web application to use the Acrolinx Sidebar from my Core Platform?

  • Updated

Issue

Software Version

Acrolinx for AEM

1.2

Acrolinx for WordPress

1.0

Cause

By default, Acrolinx Integrations for web applications like AEM and WordPress show the Core Platform sign-in section in the Sidebar from the public cloud server. If you need to load the Sidebar directly from your server installation, you must update the Acrolinx for AEM configuration.

Check out the architecture diagrams of Acrolinx Sidebar edition integrations for web applications.

Solution

Acrolinx for AEM (Adobe Experience Manager)

  1. To update the configuration, open the config.json file in CRXDE Lite.

  2. To open the file, open the following URL in your browser:

    [AEM_SERVER_ADDRESS]/crx/de/index.jsp#/apps/acrolinxsidebar/authoring/layer/sidebar/common/config.json

  3. Add the following string to the configuration, where < AEM_SERVER_ADDRESS> is the URL of your AEM server, and save.

    'sidebarUrl': '/apps/acrolinx/proxy/sidebar/v14/'

    Example

The updated file should look something like this:

Acrolinx for WordPress
For WordPress, add the following string to the configuration: 

'sidebarUrl':'/<RELATIVE_PATH_TO_WORDPRESS>/wp-content/plugins/acrolinx/proxy.php/sidebar/v14/'

Where <RELATIVE_PATH_TO_WORDPRESS> is the path of your WordPress installation.
