Visual editing - Missing manual records

🆘 Support
1

Hi

I’m trying out content link + realtime updates to see if it would add value to our projects.

I’m running against 2 issues and looking for your opinion on how to fix them.

  1. We often have a translation model (key/value) with simpel strings that we place across the website but that don’t really find a good spot in the CMS. Think: form labels/error states. We fetch those at build time (reducing API usage, since they don’t update often).

    Issue now is that when you are in visual editing mode, I’ve already added the data-datocms-content-link-url to those elements via a so they are clickable in preview mode (outside visual editing). However inside visual mode clicking on it doesn’t bring me to the correct record. Is this currently a limitation? Or how do you see this?

  2. I’m seeing some 409 errors in console, doesn’t seem to cause issues, but wanted to check-in to make sure this is expected? Error code: “UNMANAGED_EDIT_CONFLICT”. I’m using different API tokens for published content vs draft content.

I’ll add a recording here, let me now if you need any additional details.

Thanks

Thomas

@thomas.vanleynseele,

Is there any way you could please share a reproduction of the problem with us (like the actual repo that is showing these errors, tied to one your demo projects) so I can try to replicate and debug it on my own machine?

You can share it with us on Github (read-only is fine) at https://github.com/arcataroger and https://github.com/marcelofinamorvieira/ or email us the PM/repo at support@datocms.com

I tried to look in your projects, but that URL doesn’t seem to exist anymore and the one project that looked kinda like it didn’t have a preview environment to try this with.
