Editing Sections Of A Page Only

Problem: You want to permit members to edit only a section of a page, but not necessarily the whole page all at once.

There is a way to edit individual sections of a page. You must first create a separate page for each section you want to be editable, then plug those pages into the main page using the include module. For example:

First, Create a the main display page, in this sample I'll call it master. In this case I want to use the tabs to single out individual edit elements.

**Sample 1**
[[size 80%]]
[http://whane-the-whip.wikidot.com/sample:page-1/edit/true/title/Page1 click here to edit this tab]
[[/size]]

[[div class="error-block"]]
Included page "page-1" does not exist ([/page-1/edit/true create it now])
[[/div]]

**Sample 2**
[[size 80%]]
[http://whane-the-whip.wikidot.com/sample:page-2/edit/true/title/Page2 click here to edit this tab]
[[/size]]

[[div class="error-block"]]
Included page "page-2" does not exist ([/page-2/edit/true create it now])
[[/div]]

Then create the individual pages used to hold the elements that are displayed in the main page. The only problem is that after editing a section of the page, the member will by default remain on that individual page and not the main page so they will have to navigate back to the main display page. However you can make this a little more user-friendly by setting the include page as a child of the master page. This will result in breadcrumbs appearing on the include page so that users can quickly click to return to the master page. Breadcrumbs will not appear within the master as an included element. :-)

Here is a working sample for wikidot members:

Hey nice fix,
but how do you display the actual context you want to display? without looking like a link and the "error-block" module does not work properly, it shows it on the page even though the link works fine

Thanks
