Hi all,
I have created a js api to set the metadata of fields using a form that uses keywords from other bits of content nested in.
All working fine if i want to update the metadata of a standard page etc.
However what I want to do this time is set the metadata field of the current logged in user, so I am using %globals_user_assetid% to get the current id of the user asset then using it in the below:
<a href="#" type="button" class="field" data-asset="%globals_user_assetid%" data-metadata_field="131985" data-metadata_value="example">Complete</a>
Then using the below to get them from above to use in the setmetadata api.
var assetId = $(this).attr('data-asset');
var fieldId = $(this).attr('data-metadata_field');
However it simply won't post to a user account. I have tried posting it using the above but also by manually imputting the user ID in rather than using %globals_user_assetid% but still no luck.
I have also tried doing this on different account types sys admin, simple edit etc. and the API has permissions set to ignore and I have even given myself admin permissions for the particular user accounts im trying to update but nothing will work.
Any ideas? Like I said works fine when updating a standard page metadata fields just not a "user" asset. Also works fine by updating the metadata in the normal metadata screen of the user asset.
