edit every specific page

Post by kaajee »

Hello,
I am playing around with ‘CMS made simple’ en did not find the following yet….
I would like users NOT to edit pages/content through the ‘oficial edit/login screen page’, but direct through a link ON the page itself.
So somewhere on the page there is a link (for example the symbol E or the word ‘edit’) and when clicked a login/password is asked and then that page is ‘opened’ in a editor, and only that page can be edited.
Also limiting on page level with users policy who can and can not edit that particular page would be handy.
Is something like this possible with CMS?

Hi kaajee,

There is as of yet no frontend-editing of pages available with CMS Made Simple (frontend being what visitors of your site can see, backend being the Admin Panel). However, you can add an Edit button for each page that takes the user directly via the login screen (if not logged in already) to editing the page in the Admin Panel.

The only thing with this method is that when submitting the changes the user is not taken back to the frontend, but to the content list in the Admin Panel.

To use it, simple add {edit} in your template (or page) where you want the edit link to be. Read about how it is used by clicking the Help link in Extensions -> Tags in your Admin Panel.

Read some discussion about it here: http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 630.0.html

You can also create a tag to get a "create-new-page-with-current-page-as-the-parent-link". Read about that in the following thread: http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 309.0.html
