ASSET PUBLISHER FULL CONTENT DISPLAY IN OTHER PAGE


However, it _seems like there is a mechanism in the asset publisher that should handle the situation but may not be implemented fully. In the portlet "Look and Feel" configuration, you can specify an alternate page to send links to. Furthermore, in the asset publisher configuration, the option for "Asset Link Behaviour" shows us "show in a specific portlet".

Now, if these two settings are working together then a user should be able to select a _specific portlet from the page where the look and feel settings are saying to send the links.

Regardless, we did find a workaround using only the UI but it was a bit odd.

1) We created a sub-page of the page that had the asset publisher with the list of abstracts and when that page was created, we made sure to "copy" the parent page. This set us up with a second page that had an asset publisher on it but more importantly, the instanceID of that assets publisher was the same instance ID of the parent page.
2) We reconfigured the asset publisher on the sub page to have "Display style" set to "Full Content"
3) We then set the "Look and Feel" properties of the parent page asset publisher to point the links to the sub page
4) We set the properties of the asset publisher configuration on the parent page to "show in a specific portlet" and viola, it all worked. You can see the result here:
