Get asset contents inside of a design?

I am wanting to pull my asset contents (text) into my design file, so that I can have an accurate meta description tag.


Has anyone found a way to do this? I tried something like the following without success:


Any other ideas on getting the current pages text into the meta description?

We have been trying something similar too but with no success. Trying to get the asset contents passed to a metadata field on the asset so that we can use that field for RSS description.


%asset_contents^maxwords:15%



Looking like it's a bug just on that one keyword but we haven't found a work around to get the contents some other way.

As I know keyword modifier doesn't support in parse file. Nest asset listing in the design area.
I have done this to make PDF assets into pages.

Seem to be quite a few places where keyword modifiers work in one place but not in others - same kind of issue occurs with asset listings and upcoming event listings: one supports user specified paint layout assignment, and the other doesn't.


We've done the meta description in design by having a standard page asset included via a nest_content customisation, which seems quite inefficient, but at least it works.
