Allow user to edit Views

fusionpixel - April 29, 2009 - 06:15

I have several nodes that need to be displayed in a "master" page and the only solution I have found so far is to create a view and then integrate the content in the view.

This works perfect, the only issue arises when the editor has to make changes to the content, there is no "EDIT" button on the pages that use the "view" and if I give view edit rights to the user, then they get to edit the view which is not what I want. Not only that but the user will have no idea what to do there.

What is the best way to allow the user to make single edits to view items?

I found the "EDIT VIEW" module: http://drupal.org/project/editview but the creator stop development on version 5+ and I am using version 6. Is there a similar module or is there any other way to tackle this issue?

Basically what the user does is upload PDFs and provide links to them, all of them are being gathered in a view by content type.

TIA

Partially fixed

I was able to fix my issue by just giving the user access to "admin/content/node" where they can view all the nodes at once.

I still would like to have the "edit" button for each of the views if anyone has suggestions

TIA

I guess I'm not clear on why this needs to be done with an editable view.

In any case, the http://drupal.org/project/editview module does have a d6 version in development. There's also the http://drupal.org/project/editablefields module.
