jEditable inline content editing

The jEditable module provides integration between Form API and the excellent jQuery plugin, jEditable. It is implemented as a formatter hook, which makes inline editing possible through regular node displays, Panels, Views, or anywhere else you can place a field.

Currently supported features are "click to edit" functions for text fields, number fields, and email fields.

So what is this good for? it provides a very quick and easy way to update the things they need to change without having to edit specific fields without having to switch to the full-blown node editor.

It is with Views integration that jEditable really comes into its own. It allows users to edit many nodes at the same time, e.g. if the same field must be updated for many nodes.

Editable fields - https://www.drupal.org/project/editablefields
What is the difference between this and editablefields? Well, the approach is rather different, so it depends on what you're looking for. This module is extremely light weight, and so it's very fast. Editablefields makes an Ajax call to the server to get the correct widget for editing the field, which means it's much more flexible. However, if you're editing a lot of content, it can slow down the page and it takes time for each click. jEditable uses the approach that you only get a textfield or textarea without caring what it's for or what will go into it. This means the Javascript can immediately load the form which makes it very responsive. This makes it great if you're dealing with plain text fields, but will make it inappropriate if you're trying to do anything more robust.

Views Entity Form Field - https://www.drupal.org/project/views_entity_form_field
This module follows a similar approach to Editable fields, in that it uses the actual widget assigned to the field. It's focused exclusively to views however.

Please see the README.txt file for installation instructions and instructions on using the Views integration.
