Simple Edit Layout from URL?

Is there a way to select Simple Edit Layout just by URL?
Something like http://mysite.com/_edit?SQ_SIMPLE_EDIT_ID=1234



I prepared Simple Edit Layout and set it in Layout section to an asset with URL http://mysite.com/myasset/.

When I'm using http://mysite.com/myasset/_edit?asset_limbo=3232 Design is taken from http://mysite.com/myasset/ but Simple Edit is just default taken from 3232…



Is there a good way to manage many Simple Edit Layouts on whole Site without manually set their names on Site "Setting" section?

Yes, I hide frames too because they are a pain usually but you may want to take the hide frames out.

    www.path_you_want.com/_edit?SQ_FRONTEND_PAGE=main&%assetid_here%&ignore_frames=1

Thanks Shane,



On Squiz Matrix v3.28.3 Your path works after adding "assetid=" or "limbo_assetid=" before %assetid_here%.



But I want something different (or maybe I misunderstood You).



I created many Simple Edit Layouts (SEL) for editing different parts of my assets and wanted to choose by URL (but not by name of Simple Edit Layout, but just by it's ID) which SEL to use.

Ah yes, sorry, cut too much out in the cleaning up cut and past effort :slight_smile:


I think I have misunderstood you initially, but I am still a little confused. When you say many sel's, I assume you are meaning 1 of three things. 1)different layouts for different screens of an asset, or 2) different layouts for different types of assets, or; 3) different layouts for different sites or different areas of your site.



So if it is;



1)There is a keyword you can use to have a drop down for selecting the screens,

2)there is a global layout manager to handle this or you can do it by site,

3)same as above.



Oh, and if you are meaning that you are trying to use the id of the layout asset to choose which layout to use…I think you are out of luck there.



Cheers

Shane

Ooo, I was trying to get no frames to happen and couldn't, but that link works (with assetid= inserted). Thanks guys!
