[quote]Avi, using the & is not nessissary if using Tidy, correct? I just used a & and in the code it renders it as a &. Just checking.
[right][post=“12386”]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right][/quote]
I usually create Layouts and such in Raw HTML mode, which isn’t passed through Tidy. 
To clarify, Avi is correct, you have to use '&' instead of just '&' if you do not have HTMLTidy on.
Metadata Screen
You do not have to include '&SQ_BACKEND_PAGE=main' in the next release, but leaving it on your layout will not cause any problem too. So, no code changes needed when you upgrade next time.
thanks nnhubbard,
I managed to get it working. I learnt something new
Just wondering if you included detail and metadata keywords into the content tab, will did cause any harm, ie so there is only 2 tabb navigation(content and workflow)
I had a little play with it and it seem to work fine. I had to copy the same keywords from the content tab and insert it into Detail tab(default when you click on edit button)
Would like to hear from someone about this. (AVI you may not have to look into custom development for status report if they like this solution)
cheers,
You can include additional fields (like the Details and Metadata keywords) on the Contents tab. Remember, the Details screen is the default screen, so you'll probably just add the Contents keyword to that screen instead.
It should work just fine.
[quote]I had this working perfectly, until I made the upgrade to 3.10.2 I think something changed in the way of the Layout manager and custom layouts for the Simple Edit Mode. When I am in the simple edit mode, and I click on my different tabs, to go to "metadata" for example, but then open the same window in itself, and continues to do some for as many times as you click, and it never takes you to the correct tab.
I have included a screen shot so you can see. Avi, and help with this? Was the code changed, so that I need to tweek my code to make this work?

We are getting the same problem as nnhubbard, but with us its to do with the side navigation in simple edit mode. when you click on the any of the menu item.
We just upgraded to 3.10.2
what is the work around this?
cheers,
There is one issue that I have discovered while fixing the nested frame problem for simple edit interface in 3.10. If you are going to use the ?limbo_assetid query string for any asset (to edit file or site's index page asset), you will have to use the following code for your file/site asset layout content.

Would it break page assets, if the same links are applied to them?
I know we are having issues with file assets, and simple edit, will test to see if this resolves that.
Make sure you use the limo_assetid bit, only for file asset layout, then it will not break page asset. Let me know if it fixes your problem (You will have to upgrade your system to get the fix first).
Just to summarise:
simple edit nested frame when you switch to other assets using the side navigation and the php notice generated when you view the page have been fixed in 3.10.4, which will be released on 4 dec 2006.
[quote]Also are the only screens available edit content, workflow, metadata and details?? have anymore been exposed at all… (question for the squiz reps??)
[right][post=“12147”]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right][/quote]
Just to go back in time a bit, in 3.8.5, the tagging screen is exposed with %tagging-%, and I know that the permissions screen is not. While you can insert individual fields for the details screen, the metadata screen only allows you to expose groups of data at a time, including all the fields in one go, and I’m having difficulty discovering idf the tagging screen allows you to expose less than the full screen at a time. Here’s the output for tagging in simple edit:

As of the current version, the tagging screen can only be exposed at once (using %tagging-%), rather than specific sections. You’re more than welcome to add this to the Matrix bug tracker as a feature request, however.
[quote]Important facts:
- We would really like to hide (using CSS) the cascade checkbox for status and for workflow because in simple edit it causes chaos (content going into approved to go live when page hasn't started the workflow, etc…). Unfortunately it is not easy because the source produced by Matrix isn't using any id we can simply hide. Hiding the checkbox is doable, however the text following the checkbox cannot be removed easily.[/quote]
Wombat… I have done what you would like using CSS, below is my solution.
In the layout for the Details screen:
Change status: %details-F_status_change%
And in the simple edit css:
#status_change input.sq-form-field { display: none; }
#status_change label { display: none; }This makes the checkbox and the "Cascade Status Change" label not visible.
I would also recommend that you link to your simple edit css in the design parse file using the simple_edit_mode show_if condition, like below
Hi all,
This facility looks very nice and I was wondering if it is compatible with matrix v3.6.4? I have tried to implement as described above, but there is not much happening when I click on any of the tabs. If this is a 3.6 issue then please let me know.
Will btw be on 3.10 next week but just wanted to check.
Brgs,
Karl
Some of this is possible in 3.6, but not all of it. You're better off waiting until 3.10 next week.
Hi Avi
On version 3.10 now but still having some problems with the metadata screen. There is assigned a metadata schema and there are associated data in the metadata field so a bit pussled what it can be.
The error messag I get is:
[quote]MySource Warning
File: [SYSTEM_ROOT]/core/include/asset_edit_interface.inc Line: 222
Message: Active Screen "metadata" unknown [SYS0076]
Backtrace: Show [/quote]
Any suggestions/clues?
Brgs,
Karl Fredrik
You need to make sure you have a Metadata Layout and that you've assigned that layout to the asset type you're editing using the Layout Manager.
Is there anyway that I can incorperate my asset builder page into this simple edit layout? I have my simple edit interface built, as shown in this post. With Content, Details, and Metadata screens. I have tried creating a 4th layout for my asset builder (which I have to allow users to add news events) I need it to work in conjuntion with my simple edit interface screens that I have made. It would be very useful, because I would like the user to creat a news event with the asset builder, then go to the metadata screen to put in a short description. (this is where i pull the news summery from) I have tried a few ways to get this to work, but to no avail.
You could nest an asset builder within the bodycopy of one of your layouts, I guess. However, once you've created the asset, you'd need to use javascript to redirect into simple edit mode for that asset, from the Created bodycopy of the asset builder.
Although it would be tough to nest an asset builder into simple edit like that - and Avi's post is probably one way you can do it in 3.10.x - you could also perhaps look into the new features of the upcoming 3.12.0 (which will be released in full on 8th January; a release candidate is available for download now if you want to evaluate this feature on a test system).
It sounds like you [i]may[/i] be able to do this kinda in reverse with 3.12.0: one of the new additions to asset builder allows you to automatically apply metadata schema(s) to a created asset. This can be combined with the ability to customise the look of the create screen (using a layout), but this step isn't strictly necessary. That way, you can add the contents of your description metadata field at the same time as the rest of the news item, saving you having to go into Simple Edit to do it afterwards (and also saving you setting up a trigger to automatically apply that schema upon creation, too).
I'm not sure whether this would work in your own case, but it might.
This sounds like something that would be very useful. We are having 3.12 installed on our servers in January, so I look forward to being able to test this.
What I would ultimetly like is to build a front end user interface, with a login, that will alow the user to have access to all the parts of the interface that are available. Such as simple edit, asset builder, account manager, password reset, ect. Not sure yet how to tie all of those together, but I am working on it.
