Set Metadata

Hi

I have added "Set Metadata" menu to iw.cfg using the following syntax

custom_menu_item_setmetadata="File","Set Metadata","iwmetadata.cgi","master,admin,editor,author","width=800,height=570,scro
llbars=yes,resizable=yes", "", "500"

Metadata capture works fine in the normal user interface but in Webdesk it comes up without the datacapture fields. In WebDesk, the metadata capture screen just has the "Set Metadata", "Switch to file View" and "Cancel" buttons.

My datacapture.cfg is as follows

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<data-capture-requirements type="metadata">

<ruleset name="Metadata">
<description>
This rule applies to all branches.
</description>

<item name="Article_Type">
<label>Article_Type</label>
<text cols="1" rows="1" required="t">
<callout type="cgi" label="Specify Article Type" url="/iw-bin/ArticleCalloutMeta.ipl" window-features="width=320,height=200,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes"/>
</text>
</item>

<item name="Subject_Tags">
<label>Subject Tags</label>
<text cols="1" rows="1" required="t">
<callout type="cgi" label="Specify Subject Tags" url="/iw-bin/SubjectCalloutMeta.ipl" window-features="width=320,height=200,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes"/>
</text>
</item>
</ruleset>
</data-capture-requirements>

Thanks in advance for the help!!

Sure.. Please note that the file I am trying to view metadata for is in "dvlp" branch

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<metadata-rules>
<cond vpath-regex="/dvlp/">
<rule name="Metadata" />
</cond>
</metadata-rules>

Thanks..

If your TS server is Windows, try using double-backslashes "\\" instead of forward slashes for your path seperators in metadata-rules.cfg vpath-regexes. On my windows system this proves to be required for pathname patterns in this file. I didn't know this myself until just now.

If you have a datacapture.cfg, then you should see "Tag" action links next to your files in WebDesk. You should use these links (which will work) instead of a "Set Metadata" custom menu item (which won't work in WebDesk).
