Thread

Hello,

I’m looking for an easy way to edit existing weblog articles by creating a link from the weblog (in the template) that will allow me to edit the weblog in the control panel.  The idea is to have the luxury of editing existing articles without having to wade through the control panel for the specific weblog.

I know I’ve read a thread about this but can’t find it!

thanks…

Here’s what I use:

{if member_group == "1"}
    <a href="http://pathtoyourcpindex.php?C=edit&M=edit_entry&weblog_id={embed:the_weblog}&entry_id={embed:the_entry}" title="Edit Entry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Edit This</a>
    
{/if}

I embed this into it’s own template, then call it from any weblog entries loop:

{embed="embeds/edit_this_link" the_weblog="{weblog_id}" the_entry="{entry_id}"}

Just note that you have to edit the path to your own CP index file.

Excellent.  Just what I need…
