#dialogconversion

The reason we use the Adobe’s dialog conversion tool is to convert the CQ5 (v5.6.1 ) dialog classic UI to the cq:dialog AEM 6.0 or 6.1 Touch UI compatible.

The following images show the Classic UI and the Touch UI dialog’s for the Column Configuration component.

Touch UI (from AEM 6.0 onwards)

Dialog Conversion Tool Installation for AEM 6.0 & 6.1

When installing Dialog Conversion Tool (available publicly at Adobe.com) in AEM6.0 instance, you may end up with errors like:

If you have any overlayed components under /apps/cq/content then this error (see below image) occurs due to the nt:folder property of the "tools” folder under: /apps/cq/core/content/nav/tools. 

This property wont allow the user to install the package under it. So our goal is to re-create a folder called “tools” with nt:unstructured property  and delete the earlier tools folder and move back the “acs-commons” folder under tools, if you have it.

 and then move its contents as earlier...

and goto the Package Manager and install the Dialog Conversion Tool from it. Now you should be able to see your folder structure as below, after a successful installation.

Finally to access the tool, go to 

http://localhost:<your-port>)/libs/cq/dialogconversion/content/console.html
