in-context editing - how soon?

[sigei]

Hi - howsoon will in-context editing of web sites be available?  I am evaluating Alfresco vs Magnolia, and at the moment Magnolia is winning purely because it has in-context edit - everything else about Alfresco seems like a better basis for moving forward.

I searched Jira but didn't find any obvious match for this..

thanks

Everyone:


Take a look at the latest version of the WSF.  It includes an example of how to enable in-context editing in the run-time for logged-in, authenticated Alfresco users.

Let us know if you've any more questions!

Hi Kevin!
One question: did this (ever) work for you? I installed the latest version of the WSF and after a few changes (had to adjust the link to the file) the corresponding form opens when I click on the link.
Unfortunately an exception is thrown:

No matter which button I click I'll get another exeption:

After that the whole web project is kind of messed up. I can't create any more content of the specific type. I'll get the exception:

I tried to figure out what's going on in the background but it's quite complex.
Do you have any idea where to start looking / what to change? The question again: did this work for you?

Kind regars,

Hi!
I did find a way to solve it! I realised that my MySQL database ran in InnoDB mode and so I changed it to InnoDB. Now it works although the first exception is still thrown:

Is there anything I can do about it?
