Edit in place with jeditable

Damian Jakusz-Gostomski — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 15:20:07 +0000

I will be adding the functionaslity to edit textual content in place. This means the user doesn’t need to go to a seperate page to edit some text, but casn click on the relevant text to replace it with a textarea which will then save it back to the database.

For this, I will be using the jeditable plugin for jQuery which is also licensed under the MIT license (license included in source code)

WYSIWYG – NicEdit

Damian Jakusz-Gostomski — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 15:15:54 +0000

In order to give rich text editing capabilities, I will be using the NicEdit WYSIWYG editor. This gives the end user the ability to easily add bold, italic, underline and lists among other features.

NicEdit can be found at http://www.nicedit.com/ and is released under the MIT license. The license is at http://nicedit.com/license.php

For completeness (and so I can’t be accused of plagurism), every 3rd party library, image etc will be listed in this category.

CodeIgniter

This is by far the most used 3rd party library. It’s a light weight PHP MVC framework. It’s used for all server side implementation.

960

This is the CSS grid framework I’m using for the front end.

jQuery

This is the javascript framework I’m using for front end enhancements

http://jquery.com/

This is a jQuery plugin for notification messages

Note: I modified the CSS to make it have a variable height as oppose to a fixed height of 60px, also changed the positioning

Modified profiler for CodeIgniter

The CI profiler modified by Nillian also shows session data, as well as the standard profiler data

It was further extended by Gabe to work with AJAX requests
