Open EES on "Edit Content" page

(Kieran@parracity) #1

Hi guys,


Just wondering if there's a keyword or string or setting that can have the user go straight to the "Edit Content" page of EES/Edit+?



We use Edit+ and it'd be good to either have a setting that puts them straight into the Edit Contents page of Edit+ when they do "/_edit" or have a string or keyword to put in a link to esit an asset and having that string appended in the link will put them on the "Edit Contents" screen.



Thanks!

You can change it in the configuration file ours was installed here /_media/easy-edit-suite/EasyEditConfig.js


// PERFORMANCE FEATURE.

// The default mode to use on initial load. Can be 'edit' or 'preview'.

// Can be overridden in the url by using the hash #mode=mode_name e.g. #mode=preview.

// If missing from config defaults to edit mode.

defaultMode: 'edit',



// Default screen to use on initial edit mode load.

// Can be overridden in the url by using the hash #screen=screen_name e.g. #screen=content.

// If missing from config defaults to details screen.

defaultScreen: 'content',

Was just reading up on the config file as you replied!

Alternatively, you can add to the end of the url (if they are clicking a link):
/_edit?screen=content (for content screen)

/_edit?screen=metadata



We use the above for when we send out emails and also on each page, if a content editor is logged in with permissions for that page, there is a sub-menu with the links.
