[WSG CMS] RE: digest for cms@webstandardsgroup.org

[Paul Noone]

Peter, apologies if this has already been answered. I'm on the digest and don't appear to be getting all thread replies.

 

You're not just talking about inline but also in-place editing, right?

 

Most environmental CMSs like Zope/Plone, Silva and Midgard use the inline approach, meaning that a logged-in user can perform front-end editing of a page by clicking the appropriate 'edit' link/icon. These still require the page or a portion of it to be submitted. Kupu is no different, it merely uses an iframe/document head approach rather than the more traditionally tried and tested HTML form.

 

I saw an online demonstration of an editor which worked as you describe a coupld of years ago. It used Java (so was cross-platform) and updated changes to a page without having to re-submit either the page or an embedded URL. It even featured drag and drop content shuffling. I've got to say that at the time it completely blew me away. Sadly I can't relocate the site for the life of me. :(

 

If anyone does could they please post it back to the list?

 

Cheers.
