Asset builder page for editing assets - commit button not working

Matrix Version: v5.4.3.2

Hi guys,

I have created an asset builder page for the purposes of editing existing calendar events; basically updating the registration status through a metadata change when they become fully booked. This is to allow our marketing crew the ability to be able to make a quick status change to an event when it becomes fully booked.

I am able to draw the event’s details into the edit form fine and display the change fields. This is all good.

The issue I am having is that the commit button is not working.

Note: I am pulling the event details into the asset builder page from a dynamic generated link on an asset listing page.
Note also: This is not using the simple edit interface. It is using an asset builder page.

Any ideas as to what might be the issue.
When I click on the commit button nothing happens and the metadata field values of the event are not updated.

Thanks
Paul.

I’m testing on Google Chrome Version 54.0.2840.71 on an iMac.

Also I have the following variables set in the Asset builder page.

Dynamic Parameters = Edit Asset -> Set Value %asset_assetid%
I also tried using Get Variable Name -> edit, however this did not work either.

Form submission URL is the ‘The Current URL’.

I am also enforcing login, however, given I have editing rights to these assets I don’t see that this should be an issue why it will not commit.

Hi Paul, I’m assuming your matrix version is 5.3.4.2? Not 5.4?

Sounds like you may be hitting a bug that I think has been fixed since that version, but hard to tell without actually looking at the logs and seeing some more info.

I’d send a support ticket in to Squiz to investigate further and then see if we can patch it with the bug fix.

Hi Bart,

Thanks for getting back to me. Yes, we are using 5.3.4.2.

I know what the issue is. For some reason matrix is creating a nested form. I have tried playing with settings but cannot get rid of the nested form. Hence the commit button won’t action because it falls in a nested form.

Below is how the HTML looks for the nested form.

FORM method="post" action="https://www.webaddress?event-id=97400" onsubmit="return form_on_submit()"
  • Jscript links, onload functions and Matrix Viper if then statememnts for messages

FORM action=“webpathway” id=“main_form” method=“post” onsubmit=“return form_on_submit();”

  • Input fields
  • Commit button

/FORM
/FORM

Does this sound like the bug? Or do you think there is a setting I may have to change to get rid of the nested form? Thought I would ask before logging a ticket.

Thanks kindly,
Paul.

That’s weird, might be an implementation thing then.

You sure the asset builder is not nested into something else? Or it’s not nesting some other form based asset in? Like a custom form?

The only form that that should be available should look something like this:

<form id="page_asset_builder_11142" name="main_form" method="post" action="https://example.net/asset-builder?edit=11158" enctype="multipart/form-data" onsubmit="return form_on_submit()">

So I’m not sure where that action=“webpathway” form tag is coming from.

Can you try applying a different (simpler) design or paint layout to the asset builder to see if that fixes it?

Thanks Bart,

I assigned a ‘no content’ design to our asset builder page, so that no other content is displayed other than the form and we still get the issue. I also tried this with a number of simple paint layouts and still it has not resolved.

As you suggested it might be an implementation or a version issue.

We will log a support ticket with Squiz.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers
Paul.

No worries, will be keen to hear what the issue is when they fix it.
