Is it possible to view the page represented in the section editor? When I click on view website for the page I have updated I get "#setThisInAdminMenu" after the domain name. I've tried a variety of options in the detail page URL field but cannot view the page without going to the site home page. I may not understand the function of that field but thought I could view the page I was updating.

Three Tree,

This setting found under General Settings.

You can normally replace #setThisInAdminMenu with just a /

Let us know if that doesn't work.

Hmm, do you think we should default that to / or maybe /#setThisInAdminMenu

The idea was to make it easy for people to find where to edit it, but maybe having it do what 90% of the people would want anyways would be a better default.

Thoughts?

I made the change as suggested and now go to the home page of the website with a valid url (no #set). Can I set the viewer url for each section to go directly to that page or is the only option the website home page? I am not clear if that option is even available and if so how to indicate specific page so that "View Website" link will go to the page being edited. I've attempted a variety of versions of the page url in the set details section of the section editor for the page but always default to the home page of the site.

I prefer the "/" rather than #set as a default. But think the issue is my confusion regarding how these pieces work together.

Hi ThreeTree,

The "View Website >>>" link only links to a single page, but it is possible to get to a section's List Page URL by clicking the Preview button on the section's record list page.

Hope this helps! :)

All the best,
Chris

Just to clarify. Are you saying that the view website link can only go to one page on the entire site no matter where it is invoked? What then is the purpose of the setting in the viewer urls field in the section editor. I don't understand "These urls are used when creating links to viewers for this section. Update the urls and filenames to match the viewers you create." It may be the terminology but I don't understand the function. Help!

Hi ThreeTree,

The viewer URL's are used by the pages themselves. The "link" code to the detail page (and the "back" buttons as well) use those links to know where to go. :)

If I have a single record page do I need to code the viewer url?

Hi ThreeTree,

If you never use $record['_link'] for a section, then there's no need to specify Detail Page Url. If you never use $sectionMetaData['_listPage'], then there's no need to specify List Page Url.

The only time a single record section's Detail Page Url would be used would be if you explicitly loaded its record on another page and added a link to it with $record['_link'].

All the best,
Chris
