Hello, The error “org.apache.wicket.markup.MarkupException: Unable to find component with id ‘controls’ in CMS” typically occurs when a component with the specified `wicket:id` is declared in the markup but is not added to the corresponding Java code, or the component hierarchy does not match the markup structure. Based on the context provided, here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue: 1. Check the Markup File: Ensure that the `wicket:id="controls"` is correctly specified in the HTML markup file. 2. Verify Component Addition: In the corresponding Java file, make sure that the component with the id `controls` is being added to the page or panel. For example: ```auto add(new SomeComponent("controls")); ``` 1. Component Hierarchy: Ensure that the component hierarchy in the Java code matches the structure in the markup. The component should be added to the correct parent container. 2. External Groups Issue: If you are dealing with external groups, there might be a specific issue related to how external users and groups are handled in the CMS.
