Asset Status

Hello


Is it possible to print the Asset Status (Safe Editing, Safe Edit Pending Approval etc) to the screen using the parse file with something similiar to:



<mySource_print id_name="global" var="asset_name" />



or is the only way to do this by using Paint Layouts?



thanks

%asset_status_description% is what you're after, but I don't think it's available as a global keyword. As you've mentioned, you can use it via a paint layout/asset listing.


Conceivably, you could create a metadata field to hold the status each asset (and then print this in the parse file), but the only way to update it would be to use triggers (or to do it manually).



Or you could put it in as a feature request :slight_smile:

As Daniel said :slight_smile:

[quote]%asset_status_description% is what you're after[/quote]

If your after the page status on each page you could use a declared var:

Then put this in the page where you want the status printed:

    
Page Status:

Cool that works :slight_smile: So does %asset_status_description% on it's own in 3.14.1 actually, which is odd.


Perhaps I missed a new feature? Or was it always like that?

I've been using 3.12.0 for so long I've forgotten there are others out there :slight_smile: We are hitting the upgrade path now and should be on 3.14.x soon!

But I just checked the pdf that I usually refer to [quote]MySource-Matrix-Keywords_v3.8.4b.pdf[/quote]The first section of keywords should work for all asset types with bodycopys…

Seems to be working very well.


Now, I was hoping someone could tell me what conditional 'show_if' values are available.



My manual shows logged_in, simple_edit_mode, write_access, admin_access and server_variable.



What I am hoping to do in the parse file is only show the page status to users in a certain user group and only if the status is not live. Is this going to be possible?



thanks again

Forget my last question. I have worked it out.
