Questions on New Front-End Editing

[ocr_a]

Hi,

i want to use the new front-end editing feature of pw instead of fredi module to let members of a site edit their own page.

i know it's in development, but just wanted to check your opinion and/or give feedback.

i am logged in as a superuser with all rights, but the following doesn't work.

probably i missed something?

<edit logo>
    <img src='{$page->logo->url}' />
</edit>

-> the image is not double clickable -> no edit field appears

<edit text>
    <div>{$page->text}</div>
</edit>

-> normal edit field with save / cancel opens, but no ckeditor, which is set for this field

-> changes alerts: No changes to save

<edit field='title,text,logo,websiteurl'>
  <h2>{$page->title}</h2>
  <div>{$page->text}</div>
  <img src='{$page->logo->url}' />
  <span>{$page->websiteurl}</span>
</edit>

-> nothing happens when double clicking the area, the context cursor appears.

Docs found here: https://processwire.com/api/modules/front-end-editing/

will there be an option to change the action?

<edit action='doubleclick'>
</edit>

<edit action='click'>
</edit>

<edit action='noaction'>
</edit>

last thing is something like: all fields are open on page load and a save/cancel button appears.

thanks,

I sometimes get similar errors.

In most sites or pages front end editing works perfectly, but sometimes it doesn't. I have no clue what causes this.

The 'no changes to save' error is supposed to show up when the page is not "is_array($fields)":

Spoiler

		if(!$this->page || !$this->page->id) {
			$data['error'] = "Page is not available for front-end edits";
		} else if($pageID != $this->page->id) {
			$data['error'] = "Edited page does not match current page ID ($pageID != {$this->page->id})";
		} else if($this->wire('languages') && ($langID != $user->language->id)) {
			$data['error'] = "Edited language does not match current language ($langID != {$this->user->language})";
		} else if(!$this->page->editable()) {
			$data['error'] = "Page is not editable by this user (page $pageID, user {$this->user->name})";
		} else if(!is_array($fields)) {
			$data['error'] = "No changes to save";
		} else {
			// okay to make edits

 

I have no idea what that means...
