4. 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.
  • min_width: The minimum of the width’s widget
  • 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 ”:”
  • edit_empty_value: The text to display when the field is empty

4.1. Examples

{% inplace_edit "content.description|safe" auto_height=1, auto_width=1 %}
{% inplace_edit "content.title" class_inplace="titleFormEditInline" %}
{% inplace_edit "content.description|safe|truncatewords_html:30"  tag_name_cover="div" %}
{% inplace_edit "content.description|my_filter" loads="my_template_tag" %}
{% inplace_edit "content.index" edit_empty_value="This is a editable content, now the value is none. Please double click to edit inplace" %}
{% inplace_edit "content.amount" min_width="100" %}

Now (>=1.2.0 release) you can overwrite the generic options in the templatetag. Before this only were customizable in the settings, that is to say this options were the same to every inplace edit item:

  • getFieldUrl: “/inplaceeditform/get_field/”,
  • saveURL”: “/inplaceeditform/save/”,
  • successText, INPLACEEDIT_SUCCESS_TEXT in the settings
  • eventInplaceEdit, INPLACEEDIT_EVENT in the settings
  • disableClick, INPLACEEDIT_DISABLE_CLICK in the settings
  • autoSave, INPLACEEDIT_AUTO_SAVE in the settings
  • enableClass, INPLACE_ENABLE_CLASS in the settings
  • fieldTypes, INPLACE_FIELD_TYPES in the settings
  • focusWhenEditing, INPLACE_FOCUS_WHEN_EDITING in the settings

Only unsavedChanges (INPLACEEDIT_UNSAVED_TEXT in the settings) is a generic option.

4.2. Examples

{% inplace_edit "content.description|safe" getFieldUrl="/myapp/get_field/" %}
{% inplace_edit "content.title" autoSave="1", eventInplaceEdit="click" %}
