Posting to ioRD.asp ?

[Joel Kinzel]

All,

Wondering if anyone has done anything where they have posted to ioRD.asp? This is the file that dialogs such as the "Edit Page Properties" dialog post to. I'm trying to replicate the functionality of "Edit Page Properties" in a modal and not a pop-up window. I can post to the page, but it never seems to actually update any of the information. Anyone have any tips/tricks/ideas?

You can, and assuming you are calling it from SmartEdit via something custom.

You have to initialize the sessions prior to the post

Call this via AJAX or in a hidden iframe
/CMS/ioRD.asp?Action=ComparePageStatus&TranslationMode=0&PreviewType=3&PageGuid=<%inf_pageguid%>

However, I think development fixed the session issue in SmartEdit in 10.2 SP2 hot fix 1x.  Oh, this is untested in version 11.

Alternatively, why not just write a custom plugin that does what the dialog does and more?  Please find attached something I wrote 3 years ago for editing sitemap name from the same dialog.

As always, extremely helpful Jian. Thanks!

Thanks for the note. I will make sure we are HF7 or later.
