Expression Engine: Change status outside admin section.

Question

Is it possible to edit an entrie's status outside the admin section? I want to be able to open and close entries from the front page.

Answer 1

no you can't...

Answer 2

There has to be some kind of php hook!

Answer 3

This isn't default EE behavior. Seems like you can do inline editing with a little work though.

Here is a detailed how-to on inline editing with EE and Ajax. http://www.3roadsmedia.com/use-a-modal-box-to-edit-content-inline-with-expressionengine/

Answer 4

you can do this, using the {exp:weblog:entry_form} tag and then for example using:

<select name="status">
 <option value="open">Open</option>
 <option value="closed">Closed</option>
</select>

just using the status name as value^^
