Front End Edit with ->render

[Tom Walcher]

It seams not to work, when i use $page->edit(headline) in a template which i call per $found->render("template.php").

so the field i call with that template are not editable.

What i do wrong, should i use the <edit> or D ?

thx,

tom

I tryed 

foreach($modules->children as $module) {

    $filename = dirname(__FILE__) . "/".$module->template;
    $t = new TemplateFile($filename);
    $t->set('page', $module);
   echo $t->render();
}

 

but still no editor.

I think it does know the template, or because its a repeater, just new with this.

Front-end editing works okay for me when using $page->render(). If you are using "Option A" for front-end editing make sure you have selected "Fields editable regardless of page".

But a couple of observations:

1. Do you really need to be rendering pages? Can you not just get your pages into a PageArray and iterate over them, echoing the fields you want?

$items = $pages->find("template=my_template");
foreach($items as $item) {
    echo "<h3>$item->title</h3>";
    echo $item->body;
    // etc
}

If you're sure you need to render you might be better off using $files->render() as it is better documented than $page->render().

2. In your code...

...you are overwriting the core API $modules variable. You should choose a different name for your variable.

Thx, it works with regardless and Option B, fields of course editable for field for inline …

 

Thx a lot, great tool, this processwire!!!

yeah, modules are not a good variable!

 

Danke,
