New Features

%asset_url_path% and %asset_url_site_path% Keywords

#10189 - Idea by Iain Simmons

Two new keywords have been added that let you get different parts from an asset's URL. These include:

• %asset_url_path% - Prints the path of the asset's URL.
• %asset_url_site_path% - Prints the site path of the asset's URL.

For example, if:

• The asset's web path is: about-us
• The Site's URL is: https://www.example.com/site
• The asset's full URL is: https://www.example.com/site/section/about-us

These new keywords would then print:

%asset_url_path%        =>  /site/section/about-us
%asset_url_site_path%   =>  /section/about-us

Enhancements

Has Children Menu Design Class Setting

#9770 - Idea by James Morgan

A new settings.class.has_children Menu Design Area Setting has been added to the Parse File functionality.

Similar to the existing setting configurations such as settings.class.normal and settings.class.current values, this setting can be used to print a class on the current menu item being printed if it has any child assets that will also get printed.

This will allow you to style your menu easier with CSS to indicate which menu items have child pages available for navigation to.

For example, you could set up your setting like this in the Menu Design Tag:

<mysource_set name="settings.class.has_children" value="has-children"/>

Then use this setting to print a dynamic class into each menu item being printed if it has any sub-menu children, like this:

<li class="<mysource_print var='settings.class.has_children'/>">
  <mysource_print var="asset_short_name_linked"/></a> 
</li>

Preview in New Window and Edit Mode Shortcuts

#4649 - Idea by David Cook

In Admin Mode, when you hover over the Preview option for an asset you will now get 2 additional options:

• In New Window - View the asset in a new window (tab) with /_nocache appended.
• In Edit Mode - View the asset in a new window with /_edit appended.

Edit Assets Without a URL in Edit+

#8813 - Idea by Cardiff University (Squiz Client)

More support has been added for editing assets in Edit+ that don't have a URL.

Previously you have always been able to edit these assets by using a special limbo URL to access the editing functionality of these assets.

For example, if a Standard Page asset with ID #1234 doesn't have a URL, I can still edit it by going to a URL like this:

https://www.example.com/_edit?limbo_assetid=1234

This is similar how Edit+ handles editing of file assets that are only accessible via the __data directory.

With this enhancement, you can now select these assets from the Asset Finder to redirect you to this editing URL format using the closest matching Site asset URL.

Doing this previously would throw an error saying you the asset doesn't have a URL that can be edited on.
