Image from store AEM Quick Menu

Description from store Overview AEM Quick Menu is a powerful Chrome extension designed specifically for Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) developers and administrators. This extension provides instant access to all essential AEM administrative interfaces and development tools through a clean, intuitive popup menu. By automatically detecting the current host and intelligently handling content paths, it eliminates the repetitive task of manually navigating through AEM's complex URL structures. Key Features 1. Automatic Host Detection The extension automatically detects the host of your current tab, whether you're working on localhost, a development server, or production environment. This means you don't need multiple bookmarks for different environments - one extension handles all your AEM instances seamlessly. 2. Current Node Information Viewer One of the most powerful features is the ability to instantly view the JCR (Java Content Repository) node structure of the current page. With a single click on "Load Current Node Info", the extension: Fetches the complete node data using the .infinity.json endpoint Displays the JSON data in a beautiful, collapsible tree structure Color-codes different data types for easy reading Provides error handling with helpful messages Shows the exact URL being called for transparency This feature only works on content pages (URLs containing /content/) and requires appropriate permissions. The tree viewer supports: Expandable/collapsible nodes with toggle buttons Property count display for objects and arrays Syntax highlighting for strings, numbers, booleans, and null values Smooth scrolling for large data sets Clean monospace font for better readability 3. Intelligent Page Editor Navigation The Page Editor link dynamically adapts based on your current location: If you're viewing a content page, it opens that specific page in editor mode If you're already in the editor, it maintains the current editing context If you're in an admin console, it provides a default editor entry point Example: Viewing http://localhost:4502/content/site/page.html and clicking Page Editor opens http://localhost:4502/editor.html/content/site/page.html 4. Smart CRXDE Lite Integration Similar to the Page Editor, CRXDE Lite intelligently opens at your current content location: Automatically strips .html extensions Removes /editor.html prefixes if present Opens CRXDE with the current node pre-selected 5. Comprehensive Tool Access The extension provides quick access to all essential AEM tools, organized into logical categories: Author Tools Home: AEM start page and main dashboard Sites: Content site management interface Assets: Digital Asset Management (DAM) interface Page Editor: Context-aware page editing Development Tools CRXDE Lite: JCR repository browser and editor Package Manager: Create, upload, and manage content packages OSGi Console: Bundle management and system configuration Configuration Manager: OSGi configuration interface User Admin: User and group management JMX Console: Java Management Extensions for monitoring Sling Log: Log level configuration and viewing Class Loader: Class loading diagnostics Sling Settings: Core Sling framework settings Administrative Tools Dispatcher Flush: Cache invalidation interface System Reports Health Reports: System health monitoring System Info: Detailed system information and status 6.
