Well I have been playing with jQuery for a few months, and wanted to test a few basic concepts. Mostly to do with injecting content into the DOM on the fly in a usable way, to give some older client sites of mine, CMS capabilities without having to do a full conversion of the site to a database driven CMS.
In other words I was looking for the quickest short cut, and install script, possible so that I didn't need to spend hours converting sites to suit a full CMS. What came out of this idea is a little plugin I have called "editEase" for want of a better name (and naming things is not my forte) that allows for edit in place of content by writing to the include file instead of using a database. Knowing one of my clients (and their lack of technical skills), a WYSIWYG editor had to be an option, along side a plain text area, and TinyMCE seemed a good choice given it works in nearly all browsers (including Opera). Anyways, I have created a little project file here: http://code.google.com/p/editease/ which has links to a short video http://screencast.com/t/Ayk7at3C (only a 1 minute investment of your time, instead of having to read through a lot of stuff to work out what I am on about), a live demo, and the download files. There are 2 dependencies on other jQuery plugins, being Thickbox and Dimensions, although figured most would use them a lot already. Would appreciate any feedback on this idea. Cheers Stephen
