Edit Links

Hi,

I’m wondering if there is a simple way to determine in a template
whether or not the user is logged in as someone who can edit the
current page, and if so, show a link to the edit page in the admin
area. It strikes me as something someone may have wanted to do
before, so I thought I’d ask here first.

Thanks,

There is not. Currently this is because it would conflict with the way
Radiant caches pages. It should be possible to create tags for this, but
you would also need to turn caching off.

Obviously, this isn’t a deal breaker. Back to hacking…

I’m considering adding fragment caching so that you could mark certain
sections of the page for caching and let it generate the rest.

I believe, though I could be mistaken, that Typo implements this.

Incidentally, Radiant is a lot faster than Typo on my server in an
analogous configuration, though they are solving different problems
and at different levels of maturity.

John,

+1 - Fragment caching would be great!

Assuming that you don’t have any behaviors that would create a rails
session, you could embed some javascript that checks for the session
cookie and displays that link then - that would be cache-safe.
