Thank you for this great module.

I implemented the editablefields module. In the display-fields, I changed to "editable" type and it works great. It now provides the inline editing of the CCK fields while displaying a node.

The current behavior is : the field is editable and the data is loaded in it. If any change is made, the data is saved in AJAX mode.

The issue I have is: in the node-view mode, a user does not usually expect making automatic changes. A user may inadvertently change the field content - if the cursor is placed in that field. The changes may get saved - when user does not really intend to.

Desired behavior: Click-to-edit - unless the user click on the field, it does not change to edit mode. Or there is little click-to-edit icon/link that user explicitly clicks to edit the field.

I read the issues - I am not sure if this desired behavior is a new feature request for this module or can be obtained right now just by adding Input Filters.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help.

I think this in-place click-to-edit functionality in node-view mode will make the entire CCK super cool!!

This is a sweet feature :)

my 2 cents: It would be great if the editable field could return to 'click-to-edit' mode after update - it seems the expected behavior.

Seems like a reasonable plan....
should be too hard to make it like that....

I think it'd just be a change in the javascript code...

one day :-)

Cheers

Mark.

Yes, Nice

also it would be great if it has immediate cancel or display the original value if focus moved & unchanged.

@samhassell: actually i think you are right -- the 'Click-to-edit feature' is already added to the module, so officially the issue could be marked resolved. I was actually wrong :p

However, I'm marking as 'needs work' -- which is sort of wishful thinking on my part :) -- my rationale is that Mark or someone (maybe someone on our end @ some point later?) will further adjust this feature based on feedback in this issue (to remove editable state on update or when focus is moved etc).

@markfoodyburton: what do you think, should the feedback for this feature go in a separate issue, or is it ok to mark this one as 'needs work'? I'm keeping in mind what you said in #5 when i ask this ...

yes, this should be marked done - if you have a problem with it, please re-open it
(Not that I have time to fix stuff right now, but --- :-) )

Cheers

Mark.
