Pagesetter: Editing Publications  Bottom

Go to page 1 - 2 [+1]:

  • I have a Pagesetter publications that includes nearly 120 fields (don't ask). It has roughly 30 items and each item has four fields associated to them, including a xhina enabled HTML textarea. All of this is in one publication, due to display requirements.

    What I would like to know if there is a way to jump down to a certain point in the pubedit page to go directly to the item needed to be edited (like an anchor name/href) or is there a way to edit only one section of a publication by creating a custom edit template?

    The 'a name' doesn't seem to work..
  • You have to edit the publication's newFormLayout.xml file (modules/pagesetter/publications/*name of pubtype*/newFormLayout.xml). You can create HTML text in a text tag. Here's an example:

    Code

    <row>
    <field name="fname" width="200"/>
    <text><![CDATA[
    <p >
    (optional)
    </p>
    ]]></text>
    </row>
  • I'm hoping that pgForm will be able to fix this when Bert gets the edit function working. I think his module may solve my problem here, as we discussed.
  • Edit functionality is available now in pgForm. Have you tried it yet?
  • I will be trying it on Friday or Saturday. Work/Business/Business/Life balance, ugh..
  • Can't quite figure out how to specify which fields to update in the custome template, nor can I seem to get the inputs to show up correctly.

    Interested in some support $$ ?
  • Anyone interested in some $$ ?

    I need to use pgform to edit specific fields of a PS template, but don't know how to do this.

    Please PM me what you need and when you need it.
  • I noticed that the edit page in pgForm shows part of the textarea contents (it's supposed to be hidden). I submitted a bug report for it.

    Should be fixed now. Can you please test once more?
  • That did it. Thanks! icon_eek icon_cool

    EDIT: Whoops, I lied. It is still choking on quotations in textareas. Apostrophes seem to be safe now though.

    Should be properly fixed now.
  • Works like a charm. Now I'm off to make Steven my best friend by playing with a custom edit template. icon_wink
