Asset Listings - Cannot drill down to bodycopies


(Tim Davison) #1

I seem to be stumped.  I'm trying to list all the pages on my site with a list of documents that are linked to from that page as planning for a migration.  My plan was to do the following:

 

1> List all pages, sorted by href, etc

  2> Nest asset listing to get to 'Page Contents' bodycopy, use current asset id

    3> Nest asset listing to get to bodycopy divs.

      4> Nest asset listing showing all NOTICE links to PDF File, MS Word, etc etc.

 

I've backwards many times before (i.e. listed documents and used multiple nesting to get back up the tree and see where the docs were linked from (if anywhere), so didn't think I'd have an issue.  I've confirmed the NOTICE links are correctly on the bodycopy divs.

 

However I've run into a problem - there seems to be no parent -> child link between Std Pages and the 'Page Contents' bodycopy.  Confirmed this by looking at the linking screen of the Std Page and then the bodycopy, there's a TYPE2 link from the bodycopy up to the Std Page, but on the Std Page (after changing to Linked Children view) there's no link down.

 

I think this results in the asset listing can only traverse the tree one direction.

 

Is this a bug or by design?  Anyone else seen this before?  Workaround(s)?

 

I'm not sure but I think I can get this from JSAPI, but nesting listings would be significantly easier.

Thanks

Might be a bug in 4.12, I can successfully see the parent > child linking value on the standard page to the page contents asset as per attached. You are not seeing that? 

 

Interestingly enough, there is no "Linking" screen on the Page Contents asset.  Capture.JPG (37.7 KB)
