Hi folks,

I build a view to list my blog entries.

Since I want to edit directly on the
page, without going to administer->content->blog entry,
it would be great to have a tab with an edit field, right
like I have it in my page.tpl.php,which is spit out
by: 

if ($tabs2): print '<ul class="tabs secondary">'. $tabs2 .'</ul>'; endif;

To theme my view I have an extra views-view-row-node--blogentries.tpl.php
But I don't know where I can put such a edit-tab inside this file?

Any ideas how to do that?

Thanks alot,

Best,
Soezkan

In views, you can add the field "Node: Edit link".

It will only appear for users that have administer nodes permissions

Thanks for replying.

But how can I manage that when I use Row style: Node?

Best,

copy the node.tpl.php file from your theme directory.
Rename it node-blog.tpl.php
edit node-blog.tpl.php
put this code right after the first open div (or were ever you want)

<?php if ($teaser && user_access('administer nodes')): ?>
<span class="quick-edit-link">
<?php print l('edit post' , 'node/' . $nid . '/edit'); ?>
</span>
<?php endif; ?>

Upload node-blog.tpl.php to your theme directory
Flush cache by going to admin > settings > performance and clicking on the button that says clear cached data.

Now, any user that has the permission to administer nodes. When they view a blog teaser should get an edit link (depending on were you put the code provided above) somewhere in that teaser.
