D7 has for content contextual links that include an 'edit' link, and views also has them.
However, the view as a viewfield in a node, does not have a contextual link.
Please include it, thanks.

This is more than a feature request as other modules depend on the contextual links being available in the attached views. The specific use case I am encountering is: I am applying draggable views to a viewfield but since there are no contextual links, draggable views cannot be accessed from the view.

Switching category to bug report from feature request. Thanks for this otherwise useful module.

Any news on this? I am using this module alot and my clients are used to work with the contextual links so it would be nice to see this work.

"Needs work" should only be applied if a patch exists.
Resetting to "Active" since no patch has been uploaded.

I can live without it, but it would be timesaver. I'm really missing this feature. I can't believe that this issue is open for almost 3 years without any progress.

Not having this is going to be a reason my agency doesn't use this module, so +1

+1 to this, I'm surprized to see that's it's not supported yet.

Gosh, those 5 years flew by!

A workaround is a link in the views footer: <a href="[url of view edit page]">edit view</a>

@Yuri: but there's no access check on that.. it will just show that link for everyone

@vd0: What did is add the admin user role as body class and hide the link with that class.

This would require overhauling the code that generates the rendered view output, which currently follows many of the examples for programmatically outputting a View. That would require a fair amount of testing to ensure that there are no breaks for things like argument handling, exposed filters, ajax, pager, etc. If someone wants to take a crack at this, we'd basically be looking at updating theme_viewfield_formatter_default() and instead of outputting $view->preview(), we'd need to build out a render array from the view and pass that through views_add_contextual_links() before returning the result. I'd consider this for addition to 7.x-3.x, but I would not be inclined to add it to 2.x.
