I have been going at this for a while now. In D6, using Context Inline Editor was easy. You click the button, you saw the blocks you could use, and you clicked-drag them into place.

For D7 nothing works... I have JQuery Update and the Admin menu enabled. If I go to a node, click Context Editor, the regions are highlighted as usual. Now they have an Add Block field. So I click that and the Block options appear in the menu. I can't Drag them in and clicking them does nothing either. I have absolutely no control in the Inline Editor.. Thoughts?

I can't replicate your problem exactly though I think I can come close by placing the inline editor block on my site and then unchecking the editor dialog box. The part that does not match your report is I don't see the block dialog when choosing the add a block here link.

Try going to path admin/structure/context/settings and ensuring that "Use context editor dialog" is checked. If you have the context inline editor block placed on your site you will want to remove it as it will always be active. Once this setting is checked, all contextual links in blocks should have an option to configure layout. Choosing the configure layout option from within the contextual links for any block should then activate the inline editor for you.

Updated the context_ui readme with information about how to enable the inline editor which no longer requires block placement or use of the admin module.

None of that has happened. The main Context README file still says you need the Admin module. It appears that you don't, but you do still need to place the Context editor block somewhere on the page to be able to use this. If there are changes still pending, they're not in the current dev version of the module.

Additionally, placing the Context editor block into some region of the theme makes it appear all the time. The contextual link is irrelevant - clicking it makes nothing happen that isn't already happening. If this is how it is supposed to work, it seems a bit odd.

OK, it looks like the functional issues are actually #2283901: Context inline editor only displaying in Bartik theme. The main module README file still does imply that Admin is needed.

Further clarified the main README file pointing to the context_ui README for information about the inline editor.
