Implement structured data into designs

Hi!


Right now I'm working on a new site.



One of the designs will be used to give a detailed overview of classes.



This is how it should look

I need input on how to implement such as page design. It's important that the administrator/edit easily can add this framework and just fill in the text into it.



I was thinking of making a custom made asset to implement this special need. Do you think it will be necessary?

You're going to need to create a custom asset to define those fields so they can be defined using keywords in you simple edit interface.


From version 3.12 onwards, you could use metadata for this as you will now have control over the placement of each metadata field rather than just the whole screen.

Can you explain a little more how the fields could be defined using keywords?

Using layouts to define your simple edit interface, you define where you want fields placed using keywords. I don't remember the format, but maybe someone else can post an example if they have it.

Hello again.


I've just upgraded my development installation to 3.12.0.



Anyone who can tell me where I can find more about the feature Greg was talking about in post #2?

The Asset Builder asset allows you to specify metadata to add during the create process. The Paint Layout system also allows you to print metadata for each asset.

So its the Paint Layout system to use to be able to "place out" the data fields on the page?

If you mean the ability to place individual metadata fields in your simple edit, you can use the keyword %metadata-F_<assetid>%, where <assetid> is the ID of your metadata field (eg. %metadata-F_323%).

Yes, Paint Layouts allows you to control the output by using keywords.
