Description

Would you be interested in adopting this feature?
Add an 'edit' tab to taxonomy pages so admins can edit them immediately instead of travelling 6 clicks away to fix a typo

I've got a small collection of tweaks I was intending to push towards a module like this, so I'd rather collect them here than spawn another project.

The code should be a no-brainer if you want to merge it. Sorry, it's 3:00 AM here so I'd probably break something if I tried a patch right now ...

Hi there,

sorry for the delay. I just looked at your post, didn't quite follow you there in the features of your tweak (am not a heavy taxonomy user, maybe that doesn't help). Anyway, adding it into this package could be a good idea, given the fact that you will remain the maintainer of course ;).

Anyway, if your offer is still valid, let me know so that I can plunge back to drupal for a bit and fix the mess this project currently is in (still haven't checked the 6.x release).

no delay, don't worry about that
I can patch it in soon(ish), I wanted to check that the current dev is clean (coding standards?) before trying

In taxonomy, the normal course is
view a taxonomy/tern/n page. See a typo in the description, or want to change its place in the heirarchy.
click admin
click content management
click categories
click list terms
find the term again in the list
click [edit]
make change
return to the taxonomy/term/n page to see the change.

... boring, and confusing for small changes

With this addition, the [edit] button appears to admins right on the taxonomy/term/n page, so :

view a taxonomy/tern/n
Click [edit]
make change
pressing [submit] takes you back to where you were! :)

This is D5 only, for all I know D6 already has it (it should)

confirm the code is good to go and I'll see if I can knit it in, I have a few other minor tweaks that I may like to push into this module, if it's to be a grab-bag of misc stuff ...
