Hey all.
Would it be possible to have a Keyword replacement topic "pinned". I don't know about everyone else but I seem to spend a lot of time looking for keywords that either don't exist (in documentation or at all).
Eventually I find them by educated(slightly) guesswork or by posting here.
to get things started;
is there a replacement keyword for the currently logged on user?
Cheers
No, but there is a global design area for it:
Thanks Avi,
this will work for now. I really only want to use it on a page or two so I didn't want to create a new design and set of customisations for this particular job but it will do.
Another keyword question.
is there any difference between %asset_updated_by_name% and %asset_published_by_name% I have done a fair bit of testing on this and they seem to always produce the same results.
%asset_updated_by_name% = Last person to Commit a change to an asset.
%asset_published_by_name% = Last person to make the asset Live
I am trying to set up an asset builder to create redirect pages.
How do I enable the user of the page to enter the URL.
I assume there are keywords to display various fields on these but am not having much luck finding them.
Redirect pages are not accessible via the Simple Edit Interface. The Asset Builder will only expose the name attribute. Also, the Details page of the Redirect asset requires the Asset Map, which is not available. It'd be a pretty tricky thing to setup without the full Administration Interface.
I think I need more clarification.
If you attempt to setup an asset builder for a redirect page it shows in the "Required attributes" page options for Redirect URL, url suffix and a number of window size attributes. I assumed (it would appear incorrectly) that this meant you were able to set these using the asset builder.
Does this mean that there is an intention to add this functionality in the future?
In this particular case I would only be using external URLs so adding them to a text field the same way as I do from the backend would be fine (no need for the asset map).
The asset builder is a generic tool for building any type of asset, so doesnt know exactly what fields an asset presents to the user on its create screen.
The redirect page, like all other page types, only allows the user to enter the name of the page rather than other attributes (such as redirect URL).
So here, the asset builder is allowing you to set attributes as required that the user can never enter. But only because it doesnt know that and has no real way of knowing it.
So basically, the only way to get the redirect URL to be editable is to do some development. Either expose the other dtails screen settings on the create interface (redirect to an internal URL will not work still) or enable frontend editing for the details screen fields (internal URL interface still wont work).
