New Plugin – Edit n Place

Thanks Sean, that cleared the problem.

What about Unicode support?

See what I mean:

I’m trying to use the character ??

Stahn,
I’ll look into that this week. Hopefully by mid-week I’ll have the next minor version up, and I’ll try to get the Unicode problem fixed.

Stahn,
Give this a try:

https://editnplace.headzoo.com/downloads/editnplace_v0.3.1.zip

It’s slightly difficult to test for these kinds of things on my home computer, so I can’t say for sure that it will work. The character ?? worked fine when I testing it.

This minor version also assumes that you have your MySQL tables set to use UTF-8.

I somewhat found the problem. First, I’m using Opera (9, a weekly build).

Opera first checks if the document encoding is specified in the html head. If not, then it uses what we configured in an option: “Assume the following if the page has no encoding configured” or something like that. I use iso-8895-1 – and even though I changed it to utf-8 the problem was still there.

Then I went directly to the codification option (View > Codification > Unicode > UTF-8
It displayed the characters fine.

I hope you can find a workaround… I’m going to suggest in Opera forums that we can specify the encoding for a particular site.

Oh! Now that I saved the document I have this error:

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax near ‘NAMES ‘utf8” at line 1]
SET NAMES ‘utf8’

I’m gonna check that ??

Stahn,
Well… hmm. I know after doing some reading, that if the browser isn’t treating the whole document as UTF-8, then text boxes won’t display UTF-8 characters correctly, and possible JavaScript won’t either. So there really is no work around, it’s up to the user to have things configured correctly in the browser *and* in WordPress for the characters to display correctly.

The SET NAMES thing turns out to be MySQL 5.x only. Didn’t realize that. ?? I’ll look for the MySQL 4.x equivalent.

Thanks for all your help.

Here are two things I’ve noticed since using this more:

1) Updates made to a PAGE does not modify the date-modified time in WordPress.

2) And there is some form of lag that occurs between updating a PAGE (not sure if it happens on Posts because I haven’t checked) and when WordPress sees it if you edit the Post normally. What I mean is, I Edit N Place a Page, save it. The Page looks updated in my browser. I go into the WP Dashboard, choose Manage Pages and the Page but the last update I just made is not showing in there.

illudium,
#2 might have something to do with #1. Sounds like an easy fix though.

Thanks!

Sean, I have reasons to believe that edit n place broke my dashboard and caused some problems with the wp_meta function. Any idea what’s up?

Feature request for this plugin: Allow user to change the published/private/draft status of the entry … in place!

I just wonder if it is possible and how to modify your plugin so that users can add picture, links, numbering, upload files…exactly the same as they are in admin panel.

Anyway, Great plugin, Sean! It is almost what I’m looking for.

Regards
T.

I tried version 0.3, but I still got the scripting stuff in the RSS feed. It was inside of the description tags in the xml.

A simple if (!is_feed()) ... will probably clear that up. ??

Ouch, guess I should have checked in on this post. Didn’t realize so many messages had built up. I do have a support forum specific for my plugins @ https://www.headzoo.com/support

I’m putting the finishing touches on v0.4 tonight. No more scripts in the feeds, and you can edit the post title and categories inline.

I’ll consider some of the other suggestions for the next version.

– Sean

Okay people,
The latest *beta* version of Edit n Place, version 0.4, is available for download from https://www.headzoo.com/downloads

This version lets you edit the post content, the post title, and the categories the post is in.

This version fixes some bugs from the previous version, including the JavaScript in the RSS feed bug, and hopefully fixes any problems with UTF-8 support. I tested it with all the letters from this UTF-8 test page, https://www.slovo.info/testuni.htm, and it worked without problems.

This version should also be a bit faster than the previous version.

If you’re upgrading from a previous version, please read the documentation! This version *requires* that your theme wraps posts in a DIV tag that uses the post ID as the DIV ID, i.e. <div id=”post-100″>. The plugin absolutely will not work if that is not the case.

You can also do an anonymous SVN checkout using the URL https://www.480x.com/editnplace.
