[2.4.2] Show edited post prominently after editing

1 May 07, 2008 00:59    

My b2evolution Version: 2.4.2

I would like some views on the following.

Once a page is edited I would like it shown at the top of the page. I don't want to have to scroll to see that the changes are what I want.

So one of the following:
a) It is at the top just the instance after editing
b) The last post whether new or edited is always at the top
c) After editing the post is shown in single post view.

I've come to this issue as I'm messing with the notification that a post has been updated. Instead of a header message I now have the message below the meta data, which in my skin is to the side. It took me a while to stop it being shown on all posts as it is coded in a while loop that shows all posts.

"After editing the post is shown in single post view" sounds like the absolute easiest to do. Just have to change the redirect_to when editing a post from "where you were" to "the single post URL for the post being edited".

Yes thanks EdB.

It does seem the easiest.
Sadly that means hacking the main files not just the skin as I've been doing.

I wonder why ist done the way it is. Have you ever found it a bit awkward?

Nope, but if I need to edit a post I look at the single post page then open the edit link in a new tab, which will take me out to the single post again. That way I can sort of see what it was and use preview to see what it will be.

Yes I was thinking that. Just editing using the single page option.

Ok so for now I'm off to find how to force a return to the single post.

Or maybe I can just remove the option to edit on multiple view :idea:
