CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Ter info: Drupal 8 uses CKEditor as included wysiwyg, and also uses that for the in place editing in Drupal.
If i'm not mistaking this uses the content-editable attribute (http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/guide/dev_inline)
Perhaps this is an option? (And in the meantime fully replace the wysiwyg editor in civicrm *wishfull*)

Now i see, i think we should be able to replace jeditable by the contentEditable attribute. http://caniuse.com/#feat=contenteditable?

I've looked briefly in to the quickedit module for D8 http://cgit.drupalcode.org/drupal/tree/core/modules/quickedit
If i see it correctly, the're using contenteditable for text-fields. (And optionally add the CKEditor to those textfields) which could be used for civiCRM for textfields.
When 'inline' editing another field, there is some backbone magic to retreive the form. (No jeditbale, but a 'specific / custom' backbone implementation).
AFAICT the drupal approach has the same requiremenst as CiviCRM (field based inline editing). I'll give it a try to work out a POC top see if we can use a similar approach. Off course we should still search for other options.
