Cq Parsys with a Parsys

I would like to create a component which is a parsys and can hold some specific components only. I have copied the parsys component from the foundation, and create a new component drag-drop-parsys, but when I drag it on the page, that on the parsys, I can see the green-surronding bar for "drag-drop-parsys". Can some one please let me know what should I do. Parsys with in Parsys (drag-drop-parsys) and which can hold specific components.

Thanks for all your help.

One solution would be to create a NEW component "my-parsys" that inherits from the system parsys component. Then the new component could restrict allowedChildren to the desired set of draggable components. Theoretically, this wouldn't require any JSP's - just the settings around your draggable parsys.

NOTE: generally, it doesn't make sense to drag a parsys directly into another parsys - that is just nesting lists of components. However, we have created "wrapper" components that themselves may have their own parsys for components inside themselves.

Could you clarify why you are created an entirely new paragraph system? Generally to limit certain components to a certain parsys, you would use the "Design", a configuration that specifies exactly that. You specify in the design that X, Y, and Z components (or component groups) are available in any parsys named "your parsys name" per page component.

Here's the documentation: http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/developing/designer.html
