Why has this simple tag received no mention here? I've long been admiring some other CMSs' ability to have inline editing of pages (i.e. to have an edit button appear in the live site pages if you are logged in and have permission).
Who would have though this functionality was there all along?! And such a simple implementation.
Awesome. Thanks, Sorin.

Re: {edit} tag
A feature request for this awesome tag:
At the moment, clicking the 'edit' link/button takes you into the CMS to edit that page. The problem with thisIt would be great if after having edited the page you were taken back to the referring page (the page you came from).
Would there be a way to have inline editing occur by adding the WYSIWYG to the page's {content} block and then when you click Submit it takes you back to where you were?
Does this make any sense??

Re: {edit} tag
I agree on that one, iNSiPiD!
To edit pages without having to go through the admin area is a great feature especially for those users who should not be able to add pages or do anything else than simply update content on existing pages. We'll see what the developers say.

Re: {edit} tag
This is already fixed in svn...
Though, personally, I see putting an edit tag up for every person viewing your site as an invitation for trouble.

Re: {edit} tag
Yeah, that would have to be only for users who are logged in and with authorization to edit pages (the way the {edit} tag works now I suppose). For all others the page will just look like normal.
The login could either be a login form on the site or a separate page for login, so to avoid inviting people too openly to try to login and edit pages... Although it's just as easy to find the login page for the backend admin if people are really keen on that...
But then again, there are more urgent issues to solve....

Re: {edit} tag
I noticed this little shortcoming too, I don't want anonymous users to be able to even see the "edit this page" link. This is where the customcontent module would be useful, unfortunately, there is no API function at the moment to check this, so I'll have to add it to my UserID replacement, and then make modifications to the CustomContent module.
Once my UserID replacement is done, I'll add an option to CustomContent to allow you to only display the edit tag for those that have permission to edit pages, and hopefully to only those that have permission to edit that page. This should give you exactly what you want. It should be some syntax like
{edit}

Re: {edit} tag
I don't want the edit tag there for everybody. I'm not after a public blog. The current security for the {edit} tag seems to be that you have to be logged into the CMS first. This works for me.
Westis took up my point exactly in that I don't want page editors/reviewers to suddenly have access to the CMS proper. If you could edit the page in-line, submit, and then return from whence you came that'd be terrific.
This functionality exists in Midgard and a couple of other CMSs I've seen and is an absolute God-send. It means that any person logged in with the right permission can correct typos (and even update content) without having to bug me or complicate matters with "all those other buttons".
It works really well for collaborative content as well, when there are several people all working on a page(s).

Re: {edit} tag
Any further ideas about this? I really think this tag is absolutely brilliant for low level editing.

Any news on this issue yet?
(And if there are other CMS-es which already have this feature, which ones are these?)

Re: {edit} tag
From memory I believe Drupal has this and some of the other big names in CMS.
You can go to www.cmsmatrix.org and check this criteria I believe to see which ones have it. I think it's termed as "inline editing".
