In SDL Tridion 2009 SP1 we have Components that are added to Structure Group

  • 0

In SDL Tridion 2009 SP1 we have Components that are added to Structure Group and Page Metadata which are then output on the Page as a Component Presentation. We have done this to allow users to set global content per site section without the need to add it to every single Page in the Structure Group.

When we output the Component with a Component Template with manual tags we get a red box around the Presentation and the tooltip of the SiteEdit box says “Removed”. When using the exact same Component Template in the Component Presentations tab and rendering that on the page the content is editable.

Is it possible using SiteEdit 2009 to inline edit a component added as Page/Structure Group metadata?

Note: We are aware of an outstanding bug in SDL Tridion 2009 SP1 that when you go to open a component added to Page/Structure Group metadata that it always opens it read-only. Could this be causing the issue?

    It is possible to do this but you have to make sure that your markup is correct. I have done this before by marking the SiteEdit Component Presentation as QueryBased which seems to make SiteEdit ignore it’s usual rules where the Component must be added in the Component Presentation list

    <!-- Start SiteEdit Component Presentation: { 
"ID" : "CP1", 
"ComponentID" : tcm:32-204298", 
"ComponentTemplateID" : "tcm:32-204519-32", 
"Version" : "16", 
"IsQueryBased" : true} 
-->
