Hello,

I was wondering if it was possible to change the section of a content object without having to enter the edit mode, with a special form with specific action URL and particular hidden fields ?

I tried to "copy" the "Assign Section" functionnality in the edit form with something like that :

<form action="{concat('content/edit/', $node.contentobject_id,'/',$node.object.current_version)|ezurl('no')}" method="post">
  <input type="hidden" name="SelectedSectionId" value="6"/>
  <input type="submit"name="SectionEditButton" value="Assign"/>
</form>

But it doesn't actually work.

Would another approach based on section-side assignment (like in Administration -> Section page) work ? How can I skip the browse part in this case ?

Thanks in advance,
Benjamin

Hi Benjamin,

May be this could help :

The action from your form should be section/assign/<section_id>.
May be this would work better.

Hi Olivier and thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately, the contribution you mention in your post has already been integrated in Exponential public version. No need for a hack to change section in the admin object edit view.

My need is slightly different, I need a way to change section outside this edit view, in the admin full view, for example.

Nevertheless, I will try your guess in the form action.

I did try with this :

<form action={'section/assign/1'|ezurl} method="post">
 <input type="hidden" name="SelectedNodeIDArray[]" value="{$node.node_id}"/>
 <input name="BrowseActionName" value="AssignSection" type="hidden" />
 <input type="submit" name="SelectButton" value="Assign"/>
</form>

The redirect URL is section/list but it is working fine.

Great, thanks a lot !

I can't try it out myself right now, but is there a hidden field for the redirection page after section assignation ?

Like RedirectAfterURL or something ?
