Allow editing Node:Title

True. For node titles and bodies, I have not done anything. In fact for everything which is not a CCK field, I have done nothing.

Personal philosophy is that there should be no "non-cck" things in the world :-) -- everything, including title and body, should be a CCK type.

Be that as it may, this is a current restriction on the editable fields module, which could be fixed, if anybody wanted to.

My work round is to use autonodetitle to generate "database tags", and to switch off the "body" from the node, then I put my own things like title and body where I want them. This works in most (but not all) cases....

Within http://drupal.org/node/174849 I posted a patch that now actualizes the aute_nodetitle everytime you edit the node via the view. So you now could create some CCK-Field that will be set as title (via auto_nodetitle), and by editing this field in the view the title is edited at the same time.

I was going to re-status this to something other than "won't fix", but then I realized that "won't fix" is, on its own, the most insulting status something can have. Whether or not you have a personal philosopyhy that everything SHOULD be CCK (I happen to agree with you) everything is NOT, and redesigning the title/body system in every site I do is decidedly unpleasant.

Subscribe, in case you or drupal ever fix anything on this.

My solution for this was to create a CCK field called 'title' and display that as an editable field. I use the rules module and autonodetitle to accomplish moving that field into the 'real' title. My triggered rule condition is "updated content's field 'field_title' has been changed, and my action is to execute custom php code:

auto_nodetitle_set_title($node);
node_save($node);

So, that's not an in-the-module solution, but it very much accomplishes the same thing. I'm using it and it works great.
