[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Missing section id for plugin forms

[Brian Hoffman]

This is a horrible short-term solution, but perhaps you could add something like this in a javscript file…but it sounds like the plugin helper needs to be updated.


$(function() {

  var agent_type = window.location.pathname.substr(8).replace(/\/.*/, ‘’);
  $(“#agent_places_”).attr(‘id’, agent_type+”_places_”);

});
