Don't show type 2 folder assets in asset lineage

(Mahearnpad) #1

Hi

 

Is it possible to show folders normally, but NOT show type 2 folders in the asset lineage?

What would be the directive for this?

Yes, but you can only do this when listing direct children. So you have to have "Direct Links Only" turned on.

Is this for the asset lineage in the design area? If so you can set a rule to never show any type 2 linked assets in the lineage, which is probably what you want as a general behaviour.

@Bart. Yes, design area. Can you give an example of the rule syntax to do this?  I can't find anything in the manual.

 

thanks

Have a look at the http://manuals.matrix.squizsuite.net/designs/chapters/asset-lineage-design-areapage in the manuals and more specifically, the " show_hidden_links" attribute:

 

show_hidden_links: this variable allows you to define whether to show TYPE_2 linked assets in the asset lineage. Be default, this is set to true. The example below sets this value to false, meaning that only TYPE_1 linked assets will be shown.

<MySource_AREA id_name="page_lineage" design_area="asset_lineage">
<MySource_SET name="show_hidden_links" value="false" />
  <MySource_ASSET>
    <a href="<MySource_PRINT var="asset_link" />">
      <MySource_PRINT var="asset_short_name" />
    </a>
  </MySource_ASSET>
  <MySource_DIVIDER>&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;</MySource_DIVIDER>
</MySource_AREA>
