Hello, not sure if this is a theming question, or a support question, so I am asking both lists.
This si hopefully a simple issue., but when I use a view to display a set of nodes, the edit buttons that appear, all link to the view, and NOT the node in question.
I obviously would never want my client to edit the view, as they would have a heart attack, instead i want them to edit the actual content that they are seeing in the view's output.
How can I change the this so that the view displays edit buttons for the nodes, instead of for itself?
Thanks!!
Kindly,
Sebastian.
Sepastian,
First off, unless your client has permission to work on Views, they wouldn't see that tab, so no worry about that.
As for making edit tabs available to your clients... first note you need to use the "fields" view style and not "node." Also note that your users will need to have permission to edit that node-type in order to see the link. Those are the pre-requisites... now here is what you do:
In the fields selection, in addition to other fields you want to show, like the title, you also select "edit link." That one can be found in the "node" grouping of fields.
Hope this helps,
Shai
