Simple Edit issues

(Tbaatar) #1

Matrix Version: 5.4.0.0

Hi,

I have issue editing an asset with metadata in simple edit mode. I have checked everything (done this before many times) and can’t understand why it is not working.

I have asset builder with simple edit create form layout and edit form layout and applied metadata. Site layout for the standard page is using the standard page edit form layout (asset builder).

When editing the asset in simple edit mode the system does not acquire the lock automatically using the following keyword:

%globals_asset_url%/_edit?ignore_frames=1&limbo_assetid=%asset_assetid%

In addition the metadata input fields are not editable. The metadata is set to be editable on frontend also using the correct keyword e.g %metadata-F_#ID%

Is there something else that I’m missing or is it possible the system is setup incorrectly?

I have this working in other version (older / newer).

Thanks,
T Baatar

Not sure, hard to say without having a look at the full implementation.
But curious to know why you are passing a limbo asset ID onto the URL that you are appending /_edit to?

Which asset are you wanting to edit? %globals_asset_url% or %asset_assetid%?

Have you tried just doing %globals_asset_url%/_edit to see what that gets you? Should at least get an Aquire Locks button in that case.

Hi Bart,

I have a asset listing and if just use %globals_asset_url%/_edit, it edits the asset listing page, if I use %asset_url%/_edit then it shows everything including the assets design customization. Using the %globals_asset_url% with limbo and assed id, Matrix enables me to edit only the asset without its associated design file/customization.

In both methods, the lock is not auto acquired. The metadata can be edited only by using multiple layout screens, which is not ideal because it involves 2 extra clicks.

Which design does it use in that case then for the /_edit interface? The design used there might be causing issues with the locks not grabbing. Also, waht does your Layouts screen config look like? As well as the simple edit layout itsef?
Also, is there an acquire locks button in the DOM at all?
