[Plugin: Front-end Editor] Support for content entered through the Theme Customizer

Could you post some example code that sets up one such “text bucket” on https://gist.github.com (or a similar site)?

Sure! Here is a quick example, allowing the user to input a line of text into the footer:

If needed, I could output some extra classes. I’m not certain how Front End Editor actually works (a client installed it). Does it hook as the PHP renders or in the front-end based on class names, etc?

And thanks for the quick response.

btw, there is an equivalent function for updating the data, set_theme_mod: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/set_theme_mod so I thought it might be something you guys could implement without having to move mountains.

Plus I assume others might want it as the Theme Customizer gets more popular. It’s a great way to avoid an options page.

It wraps the content in a <div> using filters such as ‘the_content’ and then makes them editable via JS.

Since get_theme_mod() has such a filter, it should be doable. I don’t know when I’ll get around to implemening it, but I posted it on github:
