I have setup the asset builder page and am able to login and create a new standard page without problems. However, once the new page is created I have to refresh my screen, navigate to the new page and login using the /_edit suffix before I can add the content to the new page.!
Is there any way I can simplify this process? For example is there any way to include the text editor in the initial page creation process so that content can be added to the page I am creating in one step? Or alternatively, is it possible to configure the process, so that when a new page is created using the asset builder, the user is automatically taken to the simple edit page for that newly created asset?
I get around this by adding a link to the newely created asset with the /_edit in the Created part of the Asset Builder. Like this: -
So once the asset is created the user is presented with a link to Edit the new asset.
There's no way of including the Edit Contents screen on the Create screen for a standard page, because the page has to be created before you can edit it.
There's also no built-in way of redirecting straight to the simple edit, though you could automate croutledge's solution using Javascript on the 'Created' bodycopy:
<p>Asset '%created_asset_name%' created.</p> <p>Click <a href="%created_asset_url%/_edit">here</a> to edit the contents of the new asset.</p></pre>
I copied that code into my Created bodycopy, and it still doesn’t work (I also reported this problem on July 1st, but didn’t get a reply).
<A href="%created_asset_url%/_edit"> links to http://my_sitename/_edi instead of the full URL of the created asset. Strangely <A href="%created_asset_url%"> links to the directory where the asset was created, not the top-level site (as happens when you append _edit), or the actual page.
Any clues on this behaviour?
