Hello!

I’m using EE 2.2.2.

I’m trying to create an “Edit [channel] entries” link from the front end of my site that links to the Content > Edit Page. However, instead of linking to the page showing the most recent entries across ALL channels, I would like to link to the Edit page pre-filtered by a particular channel. Is there a way I can do this via the URL, like a hash tag that maintains state of this filter? if not, do you know of any third-party add ons that would let me achieve this?

thanks,
Shaun

Hi, Shaun.

I use something like this to build a link for each entry:

Question: How can I add an Edit This Link in EE2?

Answer: You can use the following snippet:

{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}

NOTE: In the example, take out the ; between entry and _id. The forum adds that.

Hi Sue! Thanks for the response. To clarify,  I was looking for a way to link to the Edit Overview page, i.e. the list of entries in a specific channel, not a link to a specific channel entry itself. I’ve got that one down!

In EE1 this was possible, the Edit page accepted a weblog_id param. However, in EE2,
{cp_url}index.php?C=edit&weblog_id=4

OK, in the process of writing this, I just answered my own question. This is possible in EE2 like this:

{cp_url}&S=0&D=cp&C=content_edit&channel_id=4

Many thanks 😊

Many thanks!!

Yup.. I just had written an article on how to build a link for every item, just enough to get you started. 😊 Feel free to start a new thread if you have any more questions.
