Meta Data in the CMS

When you goto View -> Properties -> MetaData, the form that shows up is treated sort of like a template. You can edit what type of MetaData can be entered by editing the template at /System/metadata.asp.

To access the metadata content from within your asset do the following:


set meta_fields = asset.getMeta(content.item("_cmsId"))
meta_fields.item("title")
meta_fields.item("keywords")
replace(meta_fields.item("description"), vbCRLF, " ")
meta_fields.item("category")

Parsing XML in .NET

Let's say you have XML as <root>    <item>       <name1>value1</name1>       <name2>value2</name2>       <name3>value3</name3>    </item>    <item>       <name1>value1</name1>       <name2>value2</name2>    </item> </root> To parse it we use the .NET XmlDocument class: // Create the XmlDocument object XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument(); // Load the Xml into the object xmlDoc.Load(objResponse.GetResponseStream()); // Get the element like it was a path XmlNode errorNode = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("root/item/name1"); if (errorNode != null) { litResult.Text = errorNode.InnerText; return; }

Duplicate Items in the File -> New menu.

It looks like a bug, but the CMS is trying to figure out what kind of models would apply to the folder in question. To resolve this issue. 1. Goto the problematic folder. 2. Goto View -> Properties -> Access 3. Click on the New Tab 3. Uncheck All 'New Dependency' That's it. That should resolve the problem.
