Global keywords in design file not being replaced when using /_login

Squiz Matrix Support

Just noticed this odd behaviour.  I have a login design that uses some global keywords, of the following forms:

  • %asset_url%
  • %globals_asset_url:1234%
  • ./?a=1234

All these replacements work fine when attempting to view an asset I don't have permissions to (e.g. as a public user).  However, if I access the secure asset (well, any asset really) via /_login, then none of the replacements work anymore.  It prints out the keywords verbatim, percentage signs and everything.

 

(Interestingly, the ./?a= syntax still get the file eventually - but I think it's making a double round trip).

 

Couldn't see anything about it in the bugs or roadmap.

 

Cheers

Do design globals work in this instance e.g. http://manuals.matrix.squizsuite.net/designs/chapters/global-variables ?

Yes - using PRINT statements still works when you have /_login.

I think that was fixed with this bug: http://bugs.matrix.squiz.net/view_bug.php?bug_id=6606

 

They used to not work in both _edit and _login.

 

Just tested it in Matrix 5 and both work.

Thanks Bart.  I seem to recall a similar thing for _edit, might even have been me who raised it.  Our next upgrade will be to Matrix 5, later this year possibly.

 

As always, thanks for the fast replies!  I think these forums are invaluable.
