The ability to add an “Edit this page” link to my templates that only shows up when a user is logged in would be *so* convenient. Would it be possible to generate a link that leads straight to the control panel and opens up the edit form for that entry? That would be great.

Sure…

You would have to create a SAEF that would edit that entry.  I have something similar on my site.

It’s a regular SAEF with some help from Solspace’s FormHelper plugin (http://www.solspace.com/software/detail/form_helper/c/plugins/)

That plugin sure looks interesting, but it’s more than I need, really. I don’t want to recreate my forms, but just get a direct link to the ‘edit entry’ page in the control panel. Any ideas?

Thanks!

This is probably from the wiki or kb, but this is what use:

{if member_group=='1'}
<a href="/system/index.php?C=edit&M=edit_entry&weblog_id={weblog_id}&entry_id={entry_id}">Edit</a>
{/if}

Thanks, Eric! Works perfectly.

I’ve actually started putting this code in the path.php file and creating a variable that I can then just put in the template, e.g., {edit_entry}. Works pretty well.

This is probably from the wiki or kb, but this is what use:

{if member_group=='1'}
<a href="/system/index.php?C=edit&M=edit_entry&weblog_id={weblog_id}&entry_id={entry_id}">Edit</a>
{/if}

The above code contains errors.

weblog;_id and entry;_id should be weblog_id and entry_id

But thanks for the code!

I think the forum added the “;” because when I try to fix it, the changes won’t save. Thanks for pointing it out, though.
