Hi, I'm creating a weblog on my webgui site, and I'd like to give content managers the possibility to tag their postings. But I struggle with 2 problems:

1) I can't get the meta data work outside the admin mode. It's only possible to put extra tags in the edit-templates off assets, like the collatoral.

2) Besides that, I have no idea how to create templates where content managers can tag there threads. Visitors need the possibility to get all the threads of a tag-category by just clicking a tag-word. 

If you have an example, or just some tips, please let me know. Thanks. (Version 7.3.8-stable)

Is this still happening in 7.5.31?

Content Managers can currently assign metadata to collaboration system posts. Enable metadata in your site settings, then create whatever content profiling fields you want.

In the Metadata tab of the Collaboration System asset you can set the Enable Metadata in Posts? field to Yes. When content managers add a post to the collab. system the content profiling (metadata) fields will appear at the bottom of the submission form.

Hi,

Is it possible to limit the metadata fields accessable in a submission form? I'm creating a submission form where only one field would be relevant so I'd prefer not evey field be visible.

Would something along these lines in the post form template do the trick?

 <tmpl_loop meta_loop>
    <tmpl_if metaField1>
        <tr>
             <td><tmpl_var name></td>
        <td><tmpl_var field></td>
        </tr>
    <tmpl_else>
    </tmpl_if>
    </tmpl_loop>

Thanks for reading!

Please don't reply to threads that are a few years old, many people won't see your reply.

You can access each field by name using <tmpl_var meta_FIELDNAME_form>, so in your case <tmpl_var meta_metaField1_form>.

If you were checking in the loop, you'd need to use HTML::Template::Expr or Template Toolkit and check against the name: <tmpl_if name eq "metaField1"> or [% IF field.name == "metaField1" %]

Sorry about not creating a new thread. Would have made much more sense. It was during those few hours where I could have used some more java.

<tmpl_var meta_FIELDNAME_form> is exactly what I needed. At some point I tried <tmpl_var meta_FIELDNAME.form> without success and then started getting a little too creative by adding in that loop.

Thanks! Much appreciated.
