"Edit Item" only thru component area? was created by isnard
Hello,
For a while, I couldn't figure out why my "Edit Item" button wasn't showing on my frontend.
It seems "Edit Item" works only through component type editable region.
And actually, I wouldn't use this type of region because it doesn't let me have multiple regions.

The story is quite simple.
For a fanzine website, I need writers to edit their own block on the same page.
When adding <jdoc:include type="component">, I have one single region.
So I started using K2, because I can set multiple K2 Content for different Articles.
Which is great.
But alas, those K2 Content modules don't let have the "Edit Item" button on frontend.

Please, I need your help!
Whether to create multiple frontend editable regions for my fanzine.
Or sort the "Edit Item" issue out..

Cheers!
Laurent

You might try overriding mod_k2_content and adding the lines of code which you will find in
the components item.php. I havent tried this, it may or may not work
Search for
<?php if(isset($this->item->editLink)): ?>
in your normal item view and get the code from there
Move it to the override for mod_k2_content file tmpl/default/default.php and see if the edit link will show

If you are trying to edit the mod_k2_content/tmlp/Default/default.php file you will also need to steal some code from components/mod_k2/models/item.php. I was able to acheive this by inserting the following into default.php, right after the itemTitle:
//stolen from components/com_k2/models/item.php
 <?php if (K2HelperPermissions::canEditItem($item->created_by, $item->catid))
            $item->editLink = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&task=edit&cid='.$item->id.'&tmpl=component'); ?>
		  
//stolen from components/com_k2/templates/default/item.php
		<?php if(isset($item->editLink)): ?>
			<!-- Item edit link -->
			<span class="itemEditLink">
				<a class="modal" rel="{handler:'iframe',size:{x:990,y:550}}" href="<?php echo $item->editLink; ?>">
					<?php echo JText::_('K2_EDIT_ITEM'); ?>
				</a>
			</span>
			<?php endif; ?>
