Editable is a brand new plugin which enables users (writers) to edit page content in the front-end. A test release is available and comments, suggestions, improvements, etc. are welcome!
Depending on configuration and the editor of choice all page content or parts of a page can be made editable.
To make the plugin useful two editors are available as “add-ons”:
- SimpleMDE Markdown Editor is a WYSIWYG-like editor in which users write in markdown and content is saved as markdown.
- ContenTools is an “in context” WYSIWYG editor which save content in HTML.
The Editable plugin itself can be considered as a core onto which different editors can be installed as add-ons, making for a modular solution that can be extended and enhanced easily.
My intention is to enable developers to add front-end editing to the Grav websites they develop. I am aware that with enabling front-end editing many usability challenges come along. Also the issues with WYSIWYG versus(?) markdow n editing as described in the blog post Year in Review 2016 remain to be solved.
I hope we, that is the Grav community, will make it a joined effort to do so.
