I would like to be able to edit entries in the front end, in the same way as I can edit comments in the front end using the edit_comment_script tag.
It seems as if Safecracker makes this possible. However, I can’t figure our how to access the changed fields (title, url_title, body_text, etc.) after they have been edited. Are they not returned in function(data) upon success?

Hi Jules van Schaijik,

The AJAX driven entry form is supplied as an example of what’s possible. Have you tried stepping through the returned data to see what all it contains?

You can also use the json= parameter to have your entry returned in JSON format rather than redirecting to a new page.

Cheers,

I’ve looked at the AJAX driven entry form. That’s what gave rise to the question.  That form shows that data.entry_id is returned, but not any of the other fields connected with the entry, such as data.title or data.date.

Hi Jules,

I just ran a test using the json parameter and it returns the url_title, but no other fields. You might need to employ a bit more JavaScript to capture any of the other fields that were changed.

You can also submit a Feature Request to have more fields added to the return data.

Cheers,

Thanks.  I’ll have to look into it when I have some more time.

Hey Jules,

Fair enough!

If you need anything else in the meantime, just let us know in a new thread.

Cheers,
