List which field types are currently working

Created on 11 October 2024, about 1 month ago

Problem/Motivation

Maybe it is a good idea to add an overview on the module homepage of which field types are currently working with edit plus, maybe even those you know dont work yet or are a work in progress. This will be very handy for people to decide if they could use this module in their projects or not. Example (just demo, not correct content):

Field types that currently work with edit_plus for in-place editing:

- Plain text
- Formatted text
- Image

Field types that we are currently working on for in-place editing:

- Entity reference field; Taxonomy term

Field types that we plan on supporting in the future:

- Entity reference field: Media

    That's a great idea. If you go Structure > Content Types > manage fields > Edit there are two Edit+ options: Disable and the form item handle. I believe just about all fields will work if you select "Wrapper". πŸ€” It would just be the entire widget from the form. I've tried it with multiple item fields and very cursory with paragraphs. If the wrapper, meaning the entire form item as it is in the form, isn't really what you want, the whole inline editing JS system is pluggable so people can create their own inline editor widget for a field type.

    Whatcha mean edit+ can't?

    • Edit sections
    • Add sections
    • Add blocks

    That's what LB+ is for 😏

    One thing that we need to add is jumping from one level of an entity reference to another. Like say you have a link field on a media item. Most of the time you just want to get the media library which is part of the node or block form, but you also need to be able to switch to the media entity form to edit the link. Same thing with any other entity reference like terms and paragraphs and what not. We plan on making a page structure panel and also bread crumbs to let the users navigate through the page. Having a page structure panel will also be useful when we add a styling tool.
