Edit section

jbrown - July 2, 2009 - 22:55

Allows freeform text sections to be edited individually, like MediaWiki / Wikipedia.

When a node is being viewed as a page by a user with permission to edit the node, this module adds [edit] links floated to the right of all headings in the body (see image).

Clicking on an [edit] link goes to a page where the content from that heading to the next same-level-or-higher heading can be edited in isolation.

The creation of node revisions is supported.

Instructions

Goto Administer › Site configuration › Input formats.
Click on 'configure' for the input format you want [edit] links to appear on.
Enable the 'Edit section' filter and click 'Save configuration'.
Click on 'configure' again for the same input format as before and then goto the 'Rearrange' tab.
Put 'Edit section' at or near the top of the list. Only 'Line break convertor' should be higher, otherwise it will push the [edit] <span> into its own <p>. Any filters that could add or remove <h?> tags should be below 'Edit section' or it will malfunction.
Click 'Save configuration'.
