Asset Manager to specific Template

Did somebody know how to set the Asset Manager extra - https://modx.com/extras/package/assetmanager to a specific Template/Resource?

By default there is no such an option and the Asset Manager / Product Assets tab appears on every single Resource.

I already asked the developers on github an year ago - https://github.com/craftsmancoding/assetmanager/issues/55 and they answered me that it can be done on System Settings -> assman.skip_templates but unfortunately there is no such option.

I'm just wondering if somebody did that.

You probably know this already, but that system setting would be inside the asset manager namespace, not part of the core, so to find/change it you would need to select that namespace in the system setting interface.

You're free to create any new System Settings you need. Just use assman.skip_templates as the key. I'm not sure about the value, but I'd guess it's a comma-separated list of Template IDs (no spaces).

OK got it. Thank you for the usefull info guys.

Update:

I tried without success. I made new setting under System Settings and comma separated list of Templates to be excluded but nothing happens.

There is also the following issue:

When I go to Extras -> Asset Manager it leads to nothing but a page with wrong styled screen.

There are no Error Logs. I'm using MODx version 2.4.2-pl and Asset manager 1.1.1

You can see the settings that I made and the error screen in the attached files.

Did you look in the 'assman' namespace (or whatever its namespace is called) for an existing assman.skip_templates System Setting? If there's one there, it might override the one you created.

Yes I looked for assman.skip_templates in System Settings under 'assman' and also in namespaces and Lexicons but nothing is there.
I searched the web for "modx assman.skip_templates" and found this:

https://github.com/craftsmancoding/assetmanager/blob/master/lexicon/en/default.inc.php

https://github.com/craftsmancoding/assetmanager/blob/master/elements/plugins/assetmanager.plugin.php

There are such files in modx after instaling Asset manager but no assman.skip_templates value. Is it possible the version from the MODx Extras installer to be an old one?

It's possible. See if that skip_templates code is in the plugin you have.

Another thing to try is to put this tag on any page and see what it produces:



It should show 1,2,3 (or whatever you put in the System Setting).

I give this also a try but no results.

Finally I wrote an email to the guy which is developing the extra and he told me that there is absolutely a difference between the Github version of *any* repository and what is released by a 3rd party.

In this case I'll need to install the extra from github.

There is an extra called Repoman which is from the same developer and you can develop, transport packages or contribute to existing MODx projects and I think it can be used also to install and use Github releases. So I'm going to test it and see what can be done.

Will post if there are any updates.

People often push changes to GitHub before releasing a new package. In my case, I generally push them to the dev branch and leave the master branch at the last stable version, but everyone does things their own way.

If you look here, you can see that Version 1.1.1 was released in 2014 and there have been a number of commits since then. The option to skip templates wasn't added until June of 2015.
