Creating an "Edit this Page" link

3 January 2009 at 4:41am
I am trying to create an edit this page link for clients who find it easier to navigate through the site, and find what they want to edit rather than going through the admin interface.
I tried snipping some code from the blog module which has the ability to do so, but it just takes me to the parent page rather than any sort of edit page.
In the page.php I have added the function...
function EditURL(){
return $this->getParent()->Link('post')."/".$this->ID."/";
}under-> class Page extends SiteTree {
Then had the following code in the template
<% if CurrentMember %><p><a href="$EditURL" id="editpost" title="Edit this page">Edit this page</a> | <a href="$Link(unpublishPost)" id="unpublishpost">Unpublish this page</a></p><% end_if %>
What do I seem to be missing?

Well you haven't set up any code or template for the /post/ action.
in your controller, add
static $allowed_actions = array ('post');
function EditForm()
{
return new Form(
$this,
"EditForm"
$some_fieldset,
new FieldSet(new FormAction('save','Save'))
);
}function save($data,$form)
{
// handle the posted data
}then you need to make YourPage_post.ss
and add $EditForm to that template
you get the idea..

Sounds like that is a bit more advanced than I was planning, but I like the idea. That might be something I do when I get more time, I was able to make a simple "link to the admin area" link using the following code...
function EditURL(){
return "/admin/show/".$this->ID."/";
}
