Advanced usage
- Inplaceedit has some optionals parameters that the templatetag can receive to change its behavior:
auto_height: Adapt the height’s widget to the tag container.
auto_width: Adapt the width’s widget to the tag container.
class_inplace: Add a class to edit inline form.
tag_name_cover: The value is covered for a span. But it’s possible to change it.
filters_to_show: The server filters the value before to save. List separate for “|”
loads: If you use some filter that need a load, you set this option. List separate for “:”
Examples
{% inplace_edit "content.description|safe" auto_height=1, auto_width=1 %}
{% inplace_edit "content.title" class_inplace="titleFormEditInline" %}
{% inplace_edit "content.description|safe" filters_to_show="safe|truncatewords_html:30", tag_name_cover="div" %}
{% inplace_edit "content.description|my_filter" loads="my_template_tag" %}
Adaptor API
You can create a adaptor to work with inplace edit form, the behavior is fully customizable. To default inplaceedit has 8 adaptors. These use the api, overwriting some methods for them.
First step
In your settings:
ADAPTOR_INPLACEEDIT = {'myadaptor': 'app_name.fields.MyAdaptor'}
In app_name.fields.MyAdaptor:
class MyAdaptor(BaseAdaptorField):
@property
def name(self):
return 'myadaptor'
Python API
classes: Classes of tag cover. By default “inplaceedit” and “myadaptorinplaceedit”
get_config: Preprocessed of the configuration. By default, it does nothing.
get_form_class: It returns the form class.
get_form: It returns a instace of form class.
get_field: It returns a field of instance of form class.
render_value: It returns the render of the value. If you write {% inplace_edit “obj.name|filter1” %} it returns something like this {{ obj.name|filter1 }}.
render_value_edit: It returns the render value if you can edit. It returns by default the same of “render_value”, but if the value is None call to empty_value
empty_value: It returns an empty value for this adaptor. By default, ‘Dobleclick to edit’.
render_field: It returns the render of form, with a field.
render_media_field: It returns the media (scripts and css) of the field.
render_config: It returns the render of config.
can_edit: It returns a boolean that indicate if this user can edit inline this content or not.
get_value_editor: It returns a clean value to be saved in DB.
save: Save the value in DB.
treatment_height: Special treatment to widget’s height.
treatment_width: Special treatment to widget’s width.
If you want to use own options in your adaptor, you can do it. These options will be in self.config in the adaptor.
{% inplace_edit "obj.field_name" my_opt1="value1", my_opt2="value2" %}
JavaScript API
Exist a hook, if the value is componing for various widgets, you can set the function get_value, to these DOM elements. Something like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
(function($){
$(document).ready(function () {
function get_value(form, field_id) {
return ""Something""
}
$(".apply_myadaptor").data("get_value", get_value);
});
})(jQuery);
</script>
For example the adaptor datetime use this.
Overwriting a default adaptor
To overwrite a adaptor set in your settings add something like this:
ADAPTOR_INPLACEEDIT = {'text': 'app_name.fields.MyAdaptorText'}
For this case you overwrite the AdaptorText with MyAdaptorText.
