Installation

Install in your base.html

{% load inplace_edit %}
{% inplace_static %}

In your settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.sites',
    'django.contrib.admin',

    #.....................#

    'inplaceeditform',
)

And uncomment the request context processor:

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
    #...#
    'django.core.context_processors.request',
    #...#
)

Optional:

INPLACEEDIT_EDIT_EMPTY_VALUE = 'Doble click to edit'
INPLACEEDIT_EDIT_MESSAGE_TRANSLATION = 'Write a translation'

In your urls.py

urlpatterns = patterns('',

    #...#

    (r'^inplaceeditform/', include('inplaceeditform.urls')),

    #...#
)

If you use the date adaptor or datetime adaptor also:

js_info_dict = {
    'packages': ('django.conf',),
}

urlpatterns = patterns('',

    #...#

    (r'^inplaceeditform/', include('inplaceeditform.urls')),
    (r'^jsi18n$', 'django.views.i18n.javascript_catalog', js_info_dict),
)

Basic usage

{% inplace_edit  "OBJ.FIELD_NAME" %}
{% inplace_edit  "OBJ.FIELD_NAME|FILTER1|FILTER2|...|FILTERN" %}

Examples

{% load inplace_edit %}
   <html>
   <head>
   ...
   <script src="{{ STATIC_URL }}js/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
   {% inplace_media %}
   </head>
   <body>
       ...
       <div id="content">
           ...
           {% inplace_edit "content.name" %}
           ...
           <div class="description">
               {% inplace_edit "content.date_initial|date:'d m Y'" %}
               {% inplace_edit "content.description|safe" %}
           </div>
           <div class="body">
               {% inplace_edit "content.body|safe|truncatewords_html:15" %}
           </div>
       </div>
       ...
   </body>
   </html>

How to use it

Just pass the cursor above the field and double click, authenticated with a super user

Advanced usage

Inplaceedit has some optionals parameters that the templatetag can receive to change its behavior:
  • auto_height: Adapt the height’s widget to the tag container.

  • auto_width: Adapt the width’s widget to the tag container.

  • class_inplace: Add a class to edit inline form.

  • tag_name_cover: The value is covered for a span. But it’s possible to change it.

  • filters_to_show: The server filters the value before to save. List separate for “|”

  • loads: If you use some filter that need a load, you set this option. List separate for “:”

Examples

{% inplace_edit "content.description|safe" auto_height=1, auto_width=1 %}
{% inplace_edit "content.title" class_inplace="titleFormEditInline" %}
{% inplace_edit "content.description|safe" filters_to_show="safe|truncatewords_html:30", tag_name_cover="div" %}
{% inplace_edit "content.description|my_filter" loads="my_template_tag" %}

Adaptor API

You can create a adaptor to work with inplace edit form, the behavior is fully customizable. To default inplaceedit has 8 adaptors. These use the api, overwriting some methods for them.

First step

In your settings:

ADAPTOR_INPLACEEDIT = {'myadaptor': 'app_name.fields.MyAdaptor'}

In app_name.fields.MyAdaptor:

class MyAdaptor(BaseAdaptorField):

    @property
    def name(self):
        return 'myadaptor'

Python API

  • loads_to_post: It returns the value of the request (normally request.POST)

  • classes: Classes of tag cover. By default “inplaceedit” and “myadaptorinplaceedit”

  • get_config: Preprocessed of the configuration. By default, it does nothing.

  • get_form_class: It returns the form class.

  • get_form: It returns a instace of form class.

  • get_field: It returns a field of instance of form class.

  • render_value: It returns the render of the value. If you write {% inplace_edit “obj.name|filter1” %} it returns something like this {{ obj.name|filter1 }}.

  • render_value_edit: It returns the render value if you can edit. It returns by default the same of “render_value”, but if the value is None call to empty_value

  • empty_value: It returns an empty value for this adaptor. By default, ‘Dobleclick to edit’.

  • render_field: It returns the render of form, with a field.

  • render_media_field: It returns the media (scripts and css) of the field.

  • render_config: It returns the render of config.

  • can_edit: It returns a boolean that indicate if this user can edit inline this content or not.

  • get_value_editor: It returns a clean value to be saved in DB.

  • save: Save the value in DB.

  • get_auto_height: Returned if the field rendered with auto height

  • get_auto_width: Returned if the field rendered with auto width

  • treatment_height: Special treatment to widget’s height.

  • treatment_width: Special treatment to widget’s width.

If you want to use own options in your adaptor, you can do it. These options will be in self.config in the adaptor.
{% inplace_edit "obj.field_name" my_opt1="value1", my_opt2="value2" %}

JavaScript API

Exist there hooks,

  • getValue: if the value is componing for various widgets, you can set the function getValue, to these DOM elements. Something like this:

    <script type="text/javascript">
        (function($){
            $(document).ready(function () {
                function myGetValue(form, field_id) {
                    return ""Something""
                }
                $(".applyMyAdaptor").data("getValue", myGetValue);
        });
        })(jQuery);
    </script>
  • applyFinish: if you need/want to do some action after the value be saved. Something like this:

    <script type="text/javascript">
        (function($){
            $(document).ready(function () {
                function myApplyFinish() {
                    return ""Something""
                }
                $(".applyMyAdaptor").data("applyFinish", myApplyFinish);
        });
        })(jQuery);
    </script>
  • cancelFinish: if you need/want to do some action after the cancel the edit. Something like this:

    <script type="text/javascript">
        (function($){
            $(document).ready(function () {
                function myCancelFinish() {
                    return ""Something""
                }
                $(".applyMyAdaptor").data("cancelFinish", myCancelFinish);
        });
        })(jQuery);
    </script>

For example the adaptor datetime use these hooks.

Overwriting a default adaptor

To overwrite a adaptor add in your settings something like this:

ADAPTOR_INPLACEEDIT = {'text': 'app_name.fields.MyAdaptorText'}

For this case you overwrite the AdaptorText with MyAdaptorText.

Permission Adaptor API

By default you can inline edit a field if you are authenticated with a superuser. But it’s customizable:

Overwriting the default permission adaptor

This package have two inplementations:

  • SuperUserPermEditInline (by default): Only you can edit if you are super user

  • AdminDjangoPermEditInline: Yo can edit the content if you have a permission edit for that model. If you want enabled this, write in your settings:

ADAPTOR_INPLACEEDIT_EDIT = 'inplace_edit.perms.AdminDjangoPermEditInline'

You can create a specify adaptor. MyAdaptorEditInline is a class with a single class method, this method receives a adaptor field

# in your settings

ADAPTOR_INPLACEEDIT_EDIT = 'app_name.perms.MyAdaptorEditInline'


# in app_name.perms

class MyAdaptorEditInline(object):

    @classmethod
    def can_edit(cls, adaptor_field):
       return True # All user can edit

Example

class MyAdaptorEditInline(object):

    @classmethod
    def can_edit(cls, adaptor_field):
        user = adaptor_field.request.user
        obj = adaptor_field.obj
        can_edit = False
        if user.is_anonymous():
            pass
        elif user.is_superuser:
            can_edit = True
        else:
           can_edit = has_permission(obj, user, 'edit')
        return can_edit

Testing

This django application has been tested on severals browsers: Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari and Internet Explorer on versions 7 and 8, to ckeck javascript actions.

Also, exists a django project to test inplaceeditform. This project can use as demo project, because inplaceeditform is totally adapted to it.

Transmeta

This egg is compatible with Transmeta But it is not a requirement
