I have an asset listing that lists my new item assets. On our homepage we have a mini, 5 item listing of those news assets. This uses a nested content area to nest that asset listing. How can I use that same asset listing, using paint layouts, to list all of the news items rather than only 5, and also style that actual "News" page differently. Would paint layouts work for this, or would I need to create two separate asset listing pages?
I'd create two separate asset listings. There is probably some way you could do it with paint layouts, but it would be unnesessarily complicated.
Got it. With that question in mind, I have been trying to use paint layouts to control the display of news and calendar events that asset listings display. I understand how to create a paint layout that will change the layout for my Single Calendar event using keywords, etc. But what if I want to use some of those keywords in my asset listing? Such as the date that the calendar event starts? I have not figured out how to make the asset listing paint this. Any ideas?
The Asset Listing has display formats for each item that it lists. If you want to display asset types differently in the same listing, customise the display format for that asset type. You will then see all the keywords in that custom display format bodycopy that are available for that asset type.
Hmmm, I can get them to list, but when I click on a calendar event I get the following error:
MySource Warning
Asset #410 does not exist [SYS0087]Same for all calendar events I try to click on that are being listed.

How are you building the URL that is being used for each calendar event?
All I did was created a few Single Calendar Events and then tried to list them with an asset listing. They are in a folder, and the asset listing root node is that folder.

Somewhere, Matrix is requiring asset #410 – do all the calendar events have the same asset ID in the error? If so, look for a design or layout that has been applied and since removed from the system. Matrix may be looking for an old item to use when printing the assets.
Hmmm, that must be the problem, I think it was a linked paint layout somewhere. Since I am still in the testing state, I just deleted what I was working on, and now, starting from scratch it works.
