Show in simple edit only (not using design)

I am looking to have part of an asset listing (link to edit file details) only show up when a user is in simple edit mode. I know this can be done using a design area. However this is to be specific to an asset listing that is nested in standard pages with a dynamic root node.

You probably want the “Edit” link to show up for people who are logged in, but not actually in Simple Edit (yet – clicking the link would take them into Simple Edit). The easiest way to do this is to create a new Div in your asset listing that contains the Edit link, then DENY Public Read and GRANT Specific Read permission to the User Group that needs to be able to edit the assets.



If you do actually want the Links to only appear in Simple Edit, you’d need to use Paint Layouts with conditions instead.

how about using the logged_in show if condition?

That’s in the design itself – you can’t really use that to create links for individual elements of an asset listing (for example).
