Need frontend post editor via Ajax modal window WordPress

• REFUNDED

I want uses to be able to edit posts on my site by clicking a link that displays an ajax form within a modal window (using [[LINK href="http://foundation.zurb.com"]]Zurb's Foundation framework[[/LINK]]).

The form should allow the title, content, category and tags to be edited. If the title and/or content fields are left empty, there should be a message underneath the relevant field prompting the user to enter a value before the form can be submitted.

***

The link that triggers the modal window should be a function that I could place within my theme.

Also, the form is meant for a custom post type ("community") and custom taxonomies ("community_categories" and "community_tags").

The finished work can be provided as a plugin or raw code I will integrate into my theme's function file.

That's it. Please let me know if you have any questions.


<strong>EDIT:
</strong>


I need to be able to place the edit button within a loop so that it will allow me to choose from one of multiple entries to edit. Also, I don't want a solution that depends on a plugin (unless it could be easily integrated into a theme or a large plugin I'm working on).

You could also try this...

download and activate this plugin... [[LINK href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-user-frontend/"]]wp user frontend[[/LINK]]

then add this to your functions.php

add_filter( 'the_content', 'add_ajax_edit_button' );
function add_ajax_edit_button($content){
if (get_post_type() == 'community') {
$content .= '<a href="#" data-reveal-id="myModal">Edit</a>
<div id="myModal" class="reveal-modal large" data-reveal>' . do_shortcode('[wpuf_edit ]') . '</div>';
}
return $content;
}

You could even have a lot of choices other than just the title, content, category and tags. Just visit the settings page of wp user frontend.

the above code will only work if your theme is built with Zurb's Foundation framework

Because you did not reply here, here's a [[LINK href="http://printmydesigns.ml/uncategorized/lorem-ipsum-dolor-sit-amet/"]]demo[[/LINK]] using all the defaults but with jquery-ui as modal... it has the same concept as that... to test the demo, you can login using credetials: demo/demo
