Our website is configured to use standard pages for various types of content such as ‘media releases’ ‘events’ ‘normal pages’ etc… sometimes our content authors when creating media releases select ‘News item’ asset type when they are supposed to select ‘Standard page’ asset type. (for some reason we do not use ‘News item’ asset types), I need to lock down asset types so content authors do not make this mistake. The same issue occurs for events.
How do i lock down asset types? Is it even possible?
Easy and common way (used) to be to hide the types in EES CSS file. That allows you to let some users add differnt types of assets easily. Of course, it will not prevent people from creating specific asset types if they are persistent. You can also create a trigger that returns fail if someone tries to create an asset that isn’t your approved type.
