Asset metadata value listing

#1

Hi Team,

 

I'm having a brain fade and I  was wondering if you guys had created an asset listing based on a specific metadata value.

 

I have a schema associated with various projects and I would like to sort via a metadata value so

%asset_metadata_<fieldname>_value%

I could create  three separate asset listings - based on  a link value  however I was just wondering if the above is possible.

 

We need our Edit+ users to be able to control this - hence  tagging is out.

 

cheers

Hi fuzzi,

This is usually done with a search page and stored search results. Basically you tell the search page to display the results page by default and pass it some dynamic or harcoded search field values.

 

More info here in the "Stored Search" section: http://manuals.matrix.squizsuite.net/search/chapters/search-page#Details-Screen

Thanks Bart for the reply. Muchly appreciated.

 

I thought as much re the search asset but in previous experience I find the matrix search assets to be a bit slow so i have just used link values instead on a generic asset listing.

 

i will do both though and compare the performance.

 

with thanks
