Editable Repeater on Front end

Drew Robison asked on May 7, 2015 23:52

I'm aware of the contribution list web part, but wanted to know if there are any other ways to display dynamic content and allow it to be editable on the front end?

With an out of the box web part, no. With some minor coding to a web part, yes. What special functionality are you looking for that the contribution web part doesn't offer?

We are migrating a client from Ektron to Kentico and they have over 90 editors that are trained on going to the page and editing content right on the page. We can mimic this using the public side "edit" feature and that works great for static text, but imagine a news section that is rendered dynamically and we would like to allow the editor to change the content in the dynamic view.

AHH OK! Then on the repeater displaying the news and such, set the "show edit, new and delete" buttons and they will display when viewing the on-site editing side of things, it displays those buttons and allows them to do as they want.

@Drew, you can also modify the global events which will allow you to run custom code or fire events after editing.
