Apply simple edit layout by root

Hi


I am using 3.20.2. I applied the layout for file asset by root but it seems not working while page asset works. The file asset always use the layout defined by layout manager. Can I have some clue? :P’ /> <img src=‘http://forums.matrix.squiz.net/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif’ class=‘bbc_emoticon’ alt=':stuck_out_tongue:

Robin,



I am testing this in 3.22.1 and it is working correctly. How are you writing the URL to edit the file asset? Are these non-public URLs? Or are you accessing the layout by using the limbo id?

I am using 3.20.2 and all the files have public URLs so they are edited by limbo id.

Many Thanks Nic!

Robin, I just tried this on 3.20.2 and it works how expected for me. So, I am not sure what is happening with your installation. You are accessing the simple edit for the file assets like www.zedsaid.com/_edit?limbo_assetid=106 ?

Exactly Nic, i was stuck in that step when implementing your ajax plugin. Our sites have an existing slightly customised simple edit interface which I don't want to affect, that's why I have to use this feature of applying the layouts by root. The current workaround is to use
    <a href="./_edit?limbo_assetid=%asset_assetid%&asset_ei_screen=roles&SQ_DESIGN_NAME=s_edit</pre> as we don't use Roles screen.

So, are you using this work around, and don't need to set it by root node? Or, is the set by root node still not working for you?

Yes Nic, i am using the workaround. Thanks.
