CMS:FED

Creates a link for editing a record when frontend editing is enabled.

(CMS:FED id [parameter=value …])

Method: Cms::cmsFed()
Without key: the first value without = is the id

Parameters

Parameter	Value	Default	Required	Description
label	text	[»]		Text that is linked.
id ¹	record ID or slug	(current record)		Record the link points to. Pure digit sequence = record_id, anything else = slug – the same rule as in the URL.
info	true / false	false		true: The link opens the detail view of the record instead of the input mask.
prefix	text	–		Text that is output before the link (not linked).
suffix	text	–		Text that is output after the link (not linked).
set	array index of $set	–		The link is not output, but stored in the variable $set.

¹ can be given without a key as the first value.

Usage

Edit link into the back end – only visible if the visitor has switched on the frontend editing in their personal back-end settings (cookie fed). For visitors without the cookie, the command outputs nothing, and the page remains unchanged:

<h1>(CMS:TEXT title) (CMS:FED)</h1>

Output (with cookie): <h1>Hello world <a href="#" data-c9-fed="1977" class="c9-fed"><span style="color:#f00">[&raquo;]</span></a></h1> – the click is handled by (CMS:FED_SCRIPT) (once per page), which opens the back end in a new tab, or at its address if a fixed back-end domain is set.

In a list, one link per row, with its own text:

(CMS:RESULT_START)
<li>(CMS:TEXT title) (CMS:FED label="✎" prefix=" " )</li>
(CMS:RESULT_END)

The back end still requires sign-in – if necessary, the link opens the sign-in dialog above the input mask.

Parameters in detail

label

Link text (HTML allowed); the default is a red [»] (<span style="color:#f00">[&raquo;]</span>):

id

Another record; may be given without a key:

(CMS:FED 1977)
(CMS:FED id="{$cms['parent_id']}" label="Edit parent")

info

Open the detail view instead of the input mask:

(CMS:FED info=true label="Details")

prefix

suffix

<?php if ($set['edit'] !== '') { ?><div class="toolbar"><?php echo $set['edit']; ?></div><?php } ?>
