I think the easiest way to do this will be to write your own editor
view, and substitute that for a portion of your regular page using
Ajax.Updater. That way you'll be able to customize it to the thing
you're editing pretty directly. It's a long slog extending the
InPlaceEditor to give it extra custom form elements.
Let's say you had:
<div class="item" id="post_123">
<h2>Headline here</h2>
<div class="body">
<p>buncha text</p>
<p>buncha text</p>
<p>buncha text</p>
</div>
<img class="edit_me" ... />
</div>
You could access this like so:
$$('div.item img.edit_me').each(function(elm){
elm.observe('click',function(evt){
Event.stop(evt);
var block = this.up('div.item');
var item = block.id.replace(/post_/,'');
new Ajax.Updater(block,'get_editor.php',{
parameters:{id:item},
evalScripts:true
});
});
});
get_editor.php would get the details of post #123, present an HTML
form laid out to match, and would include the requisite Prototype code
to submit via Ajax (read up on the request() method) and to replace
its parent DIV with the results of a successful submission (or a
meaningful error message).
$('form_123').observe('submit',function(evt){
Event.stop(evt);
this.request({
evalScripts:true,
onComplete: function(transport){
$('post_123').update(transport.responseText);
}
});
});
That's how I would do it, I'd certainly like to learn another way if
anyone has a better idea.
