I am playing with some AJAX implementations for Matrix. I am wondering how to alter the display of assets/listing using get methods. Is there somewhere where I can find what options are available?
The only ones that are shown in the URL are for search pages with stuff like: [quote]learch?queries_search_all_query=query&root_node_selection=8073&search_page_8436_submit_button=Submit¤t_result_page=0&results_per_page=50&submitted_search_category=&mode=results[/quote]
Can I alter asset listing with similar options? What are the options?
What about displaying assets? Can I alter any information in that? Things I would be interesting in calling through the url
Display an asset with a specified paint layout
[*]Display just the thumbnail of an asset
[*]Change the root node of an asset listing
[*]Change the number of assets per page of a listing
[*]Change the sorting of an asset listing
Using paint layouts, you could display any of the rest of your options by switching the paint layout. You can do that by specifying the user layout in the URL with ?SQ_DESIGN_NAME=layout_name – this is described in the Designs manual.
For the asset listing, you can use the dynamic parameter map to change the root node on the URL, you can also change the sort order.
I also wondering how to do this. Is there a query string similar to a search page's results_per_page that can be sent to an asset listing so that it will list a specific number of assets?
This would be nice to have a few options on certain asset listings, where you can quickly show 10, 50, or all results using ajax, rather than having to build a separate asset listing to achieve this, is it possible?
If there isn't a keyword for it, then its probably not likely. If I get a chance to look at the code later today, I'll see if I can find anything that looks appropriate. :)
