Edit content from front-end.

How to use it? It's simple.

  • Drop the Content Editor component to a CMS page.
  • Check if you have {% framework %} and {% scripts %} inside layout for working ajax requests and {% styles %} for additional css
  • Use this code in your page code and link the editor to a content file or set name to autocreate new file

Simple example:

{% component 'contenteditor' file="filename_in_content.htm" %}
Properties
  • file - Content block filename to edit, optional. If doesnt exists it will autocreate
  • fixture - Fixed name for content block, useful for inline texts (headers, spans...)
  • tools - List of enabled tools, comma separated (for all use *)
  • class - Class for element, mostly useful for fixtures

Example:

{% component 'contenteditor' file="filename_in_content.htm" fixture="h3" tools="bold,italic" class="my-class" %}
Tools list
  • bold => Bold (b)
  • italic => Italic (i)
  • link => Link (a)
  • align-left => Align left
  • align-center => Align center
  • align-right => Align right
  • heading => Heading (h1)
  • subheading => Subheading (h2)
  • subheading3 => Subheading3 (h3)
  • subheading4 => Subheading4 (h4)
  • subheading5 => Subheading5 (h5)
  • paragraph => Paragraph (p)
  • unordered-list => Unordered list (ul)
  • ordered-list => Ordered list (ol)
  • table => Table
  • indent => Indent
  • unindent => Unindent
  • line-break => Line-break (br)
  • image => Image upload
  • video => Video
  • preformatted => Preformatted (pre)

Features

  • Edit content files
  • Multilingual support (Rainlab Translate needed)
  • Image upload to MediaLibrary (v1.0.3)
  • Settings in backend (v1.0.3)
  • Autocreate file if not exists (v1.0.3)

    Love plugin! It's very useful! Could you please check my issue? - https://github.com/Samuell1/contenteditor/issues/64

    Can't get it work inside partials, but it works fine if I put component in page or layout.

  • Found the plugin useful on 25 Apr, 2018

    Looks like it could work well but is unclear how to get this to actually work properly. I managed to get the content editor showing up on the page but whenever I clicked the green 'tick' button to confirm an edit it would hang on the spinning grey cog and never save. It would be great if there was a short video demonstrating what to do - from installing to making some edits and saving.

    Hey, this can be because something is missing or is a bug. Can you check browser console for errors? If you find any issue, bug you can report issue at github repository.

    The plugin does not save any changes. Each time stops at the icon and no result. Everything was done according to the documentation. {% component 'contenteditor' file="text.htm" %} {% framework%} {% scripts %} {% styles %} How can I contact you to solve the problem?

    Hey, do you have included jQuery too? Please look in browser console if you get any errors.

    Excellent plugin.

  • Found the plugin useful on 12 Jun, 2017

    Great plugin! But I got a problem. When entering edit mode on front-end I see only short version of edit tools with only undo-redo and trash buttons. Whole tools appear only when I make cursor focused on some paragraph element. But it doesn't help when I focus on a table. So if there is only table in current page I can't see full tools list. http://prntscr.com/fiyl5f

    Hey, thanks for review! Can you please create issue here (https://github.com/Samuell1/contenteditor/issues) with more informations (used code, version of octoberCMS...)?

    Hey Samuell! Thank you very much for this great plugin! Saved me a lot of timeI A really great plugin, fast communication and valuable advice from the creator. Thank you very much agan!

    I love this plugin, but I'm having some trouble using it with the Multi template (https://octobercms.com/theme/jtherczeg-multi). That template has the relevant "page" info on the layout/defaults.htm file instead of the pages/home.htm file, and uses Partial files along with Content files (instead of just Content files). Is there a way to use this plugin with the Multi template (replace Partials AND Content with the Component tag, not just Content), or would I have to rearrange/restructure the Multi template (so it's more similar to the demo template) to get it to work? Thanks in advance.

    Hey Samuell! Thank you very much for this great plugin! I see that you just released v1.0.3 and that you added code for auto creating a content file if it does not exist. Is it also possible to create a localized file? For example I create the website in english (default language) and create a content file called intro.htm. Let's say that I add german as second language later on. Does the plugin already provide the possibility to auto-create a localized content file for the active locale or can it be implemented easily? Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    Thanks! Yes plugin supports rainlab translate plugin. If you switch to other language and save, then new file will be created intro.en.htm

    Great alternative to the editable plugin. However, I can't make image upload to work (I see the popup, but when I choose an image in my hard drive, the upload don't work).

    Hope to see the 1.3 soon as announced features are really exciting.

    Thanks! Upload work only in +1.0.3 version. You can download it and try it!

  • Found the plugin useful on 5 Oct, 2016

    Nice plugin. but for now it is only usable for simple texts. if there exist a few <divs> in the html markup then you cant edit this part of content. (ex. a simple bootstrap row & col div)

    I love this plugin. Is it still under development? I'm waiting for v1.3 features ;)
