README

This plugin allows users with permission to quickly go to an element's control panel edit URL by adding a segment to the end of its URL on the front-end.

This is particularly useful for statically cached sites using things like Varnish or the Blitz plugin, where it's harder to sprinkle "Edit this entry" links in your templates for logged-in users.

Requirements

This plugin requires Craft CMS 3.0.0 or later.

Usage

Install the plugin from the Craft Plugin Store in your site’s control panel or manually using composer.

composer require tinydots/craft-cpeditsegment

Once installed, you can append your site's cpTrigger on to the end of any URI that belongs to a Craft element, and if you're logged in and have permission, you'll be redirected to that element's edit page in the control panel.

For example, to go to the correct page in the control panel to edit http://www.example.com/news/article, visit http://www.example.com/news/article/admin.

You can set up a custom trigger value in a plugin config file, which will allow you to also edit the homepage this way.

Settings

Bookmarklet

In the plugin's control panel settings, you will find a bookmarklet link you can click-and-drag to your browsers bookmarks bar. This will allow you to visit the correct page in the CP for the current URL in one click.

NOTE: You'll need to replace the bookmarklet if you change the trigger value.

Configuration Settings

The plugin comes with a config file for a multi-environment way to set the plugin settings. The config file also provides more advanced plugin configuration settings. To use it, copy the config.php to your project’s main config directory as cpeditsegment.php and uncomment any settings you wish to change.

trigger

Set a custom trigger to use instead of the General Config's cpTrigger value (which defaults to 'admin').
