collective.editmodeswitcher

collective.editmodeswitcher allows to toggle between edit and view only mode. This enables users with modify permissions to view a page without editable borders. The current setting is stored in a cookie and thus effective for multiple page views. This is especially useful in single sign on environments.

Install

Add collective.editmodeswitcher to your buildout configuration:

[instance]
eggs +=
    collective.editmodeswitcher

or add it as a dependency to one of your packages.

Compatibility

Runs with Plone 4.2, 4.3 and 5.1.

Usage

For toggling the edit-mode call the view @@switch-editmode. This will toggle the edit mode and store the current edit mode status in a cookie for further requests. You can get the current state by calling @@switch-editmode/get_state, this will return enabled, or 'disabled'.

You may want to place an action somewhere for toggling the edit mode - this integration is not done by collective.editmodeswitcher.

Caching

collective.editmodeswitcher provides a plone.app.caching etag adapter named editmode. This etag can be used in the caching configuration in order to make the cache flush when switching the edit mode.
