Thread

Hi there, I’m trying to display an “edit this” link at the bottom of my content items. The method that worked for 1.5 was:

{if logged_in_member_id == member_id}
  <a href="/admin.php?C=edit&M=edit_entry&weblog_id={weblog_id}&entry_id={entry_id}">Edit this</a>
{/if}

but the url form appears to have changed significantly in EE2. Is there a recommended way to generate the url? I can’t find anything recent on Google or in the docs.

Thanks in advance

From the Agile theme:

{if author_id == logged_in_member_id OR logged_in_group_id == "1"}• <a href="http://{cp_url}?S=0&D=cp&C=content_publish&M=entry_form&channel_id={channel_id}&entry_id={entry_id}">Edit This</a>{/if}

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the assist, MacDeath. Let me move this thread to Howto, domdedom… I trust this is helpful?

Thanks MacDeath, that helps a lot. I wanted to ask about themes, there appears to be a themes directory in the root folder. Does Expression engine support some type of themeing, how are themes different to templates, and what would I do with a theme if I installed one? Seems like templates do pretty much everything in EE.

Thanks, Nic
