Re: Inline editing problems

Content workflow. Inline editing when the page is displaying "Live content" works fine for me. When the page is displaying "Work in progress" but there is no existing draft, it doesn't work: for some reason, clicking out of the edited content triggers a GET on the page itself, instead of a POST of the changed content. When the page is displaying "Work in progress"  and there is already a draft version, clicking out of the edited content triggers a POST to HTMLEditService.aspx and saves correctly.

Padlock closed after editing but before saving: the problem remains, blocking the save, in both IE9 and Chrome.

Lock/unlock icon: positioning  this with the other links seems sensible.

Re: Inline editing problems

Ok, can you try again on the demo site and see where we stand. I'm guessing that the draft edit problem was happening because the ajax post was asynchronous and the page reload was happening before it could complete some of the time, so I hooked up a callback function so it only refreshes the page after the ajax post has completed.

I also managed to get the jqueryui lock icons to behave correctly in the the title with the other icons. The result of that is the lock is obscured from view when the editor is launched so it is no longer possible to click to lock it again until clicking outside the editor so it should no longer prevent saving data.

Re: Inline editing problems

A quick test on the demo site suggests everything is resolved and working well. If you are releasing this as a patch we'll now definitely put it onto some sites and give it more thorough tests - it will be very popular I'm sure.

The only minor question remaining for me is... when editing Work in Progress with Content Workflow switched on, and no draft already existing, this creates a draft and does a round trip page refresh, which is slightly unexpected and alarming when using the inline editor. It's OK, but user expectations are immediately raised by the inline editing!  I wonder if there's any way to reveal the draft status icons without a round trip?

Re: Inline editing problems

Ok, the 2.3.9.6 release has been patched. See the notes on the codeplex download page about which files have been modified since the initial release.

Showing the workflow icons for a newly created draft without reloading the page is a tall order, it ain't gonna happen, sorry.

Best,

Joe

Re: Inline editing problems

Joe,

I downloaded the patched version of 2.3.9.6 and the inline feature is working well!

Also, I like moving the "lock" icon to the header bar with the Settings and Edit links.  That makes more sense to me.

Thanks again for all you do!

Re: Inline editing problems

I've found another minor issue, reproduced on the demo site (https://demo.mojoportal.com/new-page).

Editing inline does not update the "Modified by" property of HTML Content. It does appear to update the date. The entries in the "Previous Versions" history are similarly wrongly attributed, perhaps to the user who first created the content (I've not exhaustively tested the illogic here).

This is without Content Workflow, but I've seen the same issue on a site with this switched on.

PS totally unrelated...  logging in on this site with a Windows Live account seems to have been broken for a while. This time, the popup appeared where normally I have to re-confirm for the Nth time that I am happy to share information for 1 year (grr!), but instead it said:

There's a problem with the site you are trying to share your information with. Please try again later.
