Edit In Place

Edit-in-Place allows projects to make changes to their sites without messing around with CVS.  Projects are able to make changes to pages, upload new pages, or add new pages straight from their web browser.

A new local.conf setting enables edit-in-place: the $local_conf_edit_in_place setting

To edit a region, just click where you would like to make changes and begin typing. To make editing easier, it might be helpful to turn on caret browsing mode by pressing F7 (this is only necessary in Firefox).

When you're done making changes, click the "save" button in the toolbar (the 2nd from the left).

To add a new page, click the "add page" button (the third from the left).

All the currently editable regions are shown highlighted
