Block edit

The Block edit module provides inline (on mouseover) editing capability for any block or node.

Configure block/menu/node settings directly by clicking a Views' style link above the block/node.

Where appropriate you are returned to the originating page so it provides a very simplified and intuitive workflow.

A full list of links and options provided by this module are listed below.

Links:

Blocks

• Configure - Configure the settings for the block.
• Edit menu - Edit the title and description of the menu.
• List links - Edit the links in the menu.
• Edit node - Edit the node generated by nodeblock module.
• Edit menu - Edit the links in the menu for menu_block and nice_menus menus.

Nodes

• View - View the node.
• Edit - Edit the node.
• Delete - Delete the node.
• Clone - Clone the node using node_clone module.
• Dev load - Display devel load using devel module.
• Dev render - Display devel render using devel module.
• Edit type - Edit the content type using CCK module.
• Manage fields - Manage fields for the content type using CCK module.
• Display fields - Display fields for the content type using CCK module.

Options:

• Switch node/block edit links for the entire site. Only want block edit links? No problem.
• Switch hover effect on/off.
• Choose which types of node links to show.
• Display node links on selected content types.
• Display node links on selected display modes (teaser, full page).
• Hide tabs on selected content types.
• Display block/node links on specific pages (works just like block visibility).
• Users will only be able to see links for stuff they have permission to:
  • administer blocks
  • administer nodes
  • administer menu
  • clone node
  • access devel information

Integrates with:

• Block module
• Menu module
• Menu block module
• Nice menus module
• Views module
• Node module
• Node clone module
• Nodeblock module
• Devel module

Block edit module also fixes Views' edit links by setting their width to auto to avoid breaking the layout on hover.

Requirements:

Block edit links will only work out-of-the-box for themes where blocks are themed so that containing divs have class attributes in the form class="block" for blocks and class="node" for nodes. Most themes on drupal.org are done this way so it shouldn't be a problem.

Future plans:

Drupal 7: There probably won't be a port of this module to Drupal 7 as the functionality already exists in core as the contextual module!
