Some editors now suggest a button to switch instantly from one to another layout in order to save a lot of mousetrips.
We are adding image/text data to pages with composer. Viewing is done with different pagelists.
If I view a pagelist which shows pagename, thumbnail and description, how could I switch/toggle to another pagelist view showing more data. I’m dreaming of having a toggle button «basic view - extended view» on the page.
How could this be accomplished?
I have installed sccessfuly the pagelist templates.
It could be that this is a very easy thing, I just don’t see it, I end up having two basic links on each pagelist page. Since we have lots of different subpages, I wonder if this could be easier or automated.
Thank you Tim, for this nice example. We’ve been using De Sandro’s Isotope in the same matter. Unfortunately it does not allow filtering and sorting when in layout modus. I was wondering if there is an easier method within concrete.
Are you also able to switch layouts for entering data in your script?
…When browsing my records I go to «Edit Page», taking me to the «extended» data entering Layout where all 26 fields show.
Here, I wish to go – pressing a button – to the basic layout, showing only the main 8 important fields.
Up till now I have to select the cog icon in toolbar, then go to dropdown of page templates and switch to my basic layout. Then, I’m in the editable layout.
That is what I need, - sort of switching layouts in edit mode.
I’m not sure, but maybe you could make a button outside the editing mode, in the concrete toolbar and attach a click event? We used that for something similar and it was doing the job.
I got it all working with the exception of properly having the button in the ccm toolbar.
I managed it half way, a weird character in the toolbar shows, but not doing anything.
