Preview URL based on an entry's field?
How Do I?
When setting the Preview URL for the Live Preview feature, is it possible to use a field’s value for the Channel entry to establish the ‘template group’ in the URL?
For instance, if I use the following in a Channel’s Preview URL
{parent_page}/{url_title}where the data for {parent_page} field is a Select field, I get the following error message in the Live Preview rendering:
{"error":"The URI you submitted has disallowed characters."}
I even tried {parent_page:label} to no avail. Is there a special way to approach this or is the functionality just not there?
Thanks in advance! -Reid
Hi Reid,
No, sorry, custom fields aren’t parsed in that field, interesting idea though! I think only {url_title}and {entry_id} works there, currently.
Thank you Kevin. It would have been nice to be able to have the preview get the template based on some other value but I think I will restructure my channels. This will ensure that all templates can be found in one group that will align with individual channels. Thanks again. -Reid
