Very clever module.

Any plans for D7?

Happy to help if I can.

The plan at the moment is as follows:

  • Editview for Drupal 5 is deprecated; security issues may be fixed and other one-line fixes will probably be applied, but basically it will not be developed further;
  • Expect one or more beta and/or rc releases for Drupal 6; they will contain bug fixes but no new features (though the fixing of some bugs will enable features that have never worked before, like the recent fixes to use multi-value CCK fields);
  • Once the TODO list of Important Bugs is empty, possibly after one rc, 6.x-1.0 will be released;
  • After this, new features will start to get added to 6.x (one of the first to go in will probably be support for users and profiles);
  • Only after releasing 6.x-1.0 and after having at least one beta of Views will work start on Drupal 7 (and I may decide to wait for an rc of Views, depending on whether it is likely the API will continue to change).

So for the moment, you will have to be patient...

Thanks for the update Frodo (and great work by the way!)

Let me know if you need any help testing / documentation.

Any more work on a D7 version. This is what I need exactly for a large project I am working on. Thanks

this module is too good to not have a D7 version

Frodo; Does #6 still apply? If I had time to contribute to this, would you support contributions as a D7 port sooner rather than later?

Subscribe.
Editable Fields didn't allow to create new nodes and change base node fields (published, promote, sticky, date, etc).

is SlickGrid an alternative? ( http://drupal.org/project/slickgrid )

I have attached my "port" to "drupal 7" of this module ... I just fixed one line in includes/editview.views.inc - line # 135 for the drupal_alter function ...

I also edited the editview.info file to say it is drupal 7.

With just these two changes !!!, it worked!

I installed drupal 7, views, ctools and editviews. Then created a view that displayed all the contents in my site. In the FORMAT area (all caps), there is a 'Format:' setting, where it said "Unformatted list". I clicked on "Unformatted list", and it brought up a list ... the topmost entry was "Editview" followed by "Grid, HTML List, Jump menu, Table and Unformatted list".

I chose "Editview", and saved. I hit all available save buttons, but the "Format:" was not updated to "Editview". However, when I went to the view I had created, suddenly, I had a node-edit form on it, and I could edit each of the nodes.

So, basically, without all the bells and whistles working, the attached module works.

bangalos, I install and enable your patch on drupal 7.4, and see "Editview" format in views. But when I try to select it and apply, it goes back to previous selection. Can you export example in which all works normally?

Seems that the error is:
Fatal error: Call to a member function uses_fields() on a non-object in /home/t/test.qseo.ru/domains/seven.test.qseo.ru/public_html/sites/all/modules/views/plugins/views_wizard/views_ui_base_views_wizard.class.php on line 311

I got it when create new view with Editview display format.

There's this option, which has a D7 alpha2 release.
http://drupal.org/project/editablefields

sprice’s picture

@doublejosh Yep that's there, and here's another helper module for that one: http://drupal.org/project/editablefields_as_link. The latter module is a performance tweak for editable fields in that loading multiple forms on a website can bring the site to a crawl, and so it doesn't initiate any editing until a link is clicked.

First of all thanks a lot for this module.

There is already Views 7.x-3.3 stable release so Views itself is not the showstopper anymore.
AFAIK there are 3 critical bugs blocking the Editview release 6.x-1.0 and therefore blocking the 7.x-1.0-dev:
#660200: call_user_func_array warning
#896334: Incompatible with views 3.0
#640684: Saving edited node causes 100% CPU usage

Do we need to wait for these 3 before having the official Editview 7.x-1.0-dev ?

This was changed to postponed a year and a half ago... Perhaps it is time to reassess. Also, if there are no further maintenance plans, does anyone know of a similar project that exists for D7 entities?

I tried the port in the zipfile in comment #22 and I get this error:

_views_create_handler - loading handler style failed: class editview_plugin_style_node_add could not be loaded. Verify the class file has been registered in the corresponding .info-file (files[]).

... and when I fix that problem, I get:

( ! ) Fatal error: Call to undefined function node_get_types() in /Users/joachim/Sites/yes-canvassing/sites/all/modules/contrib/editview/includes/editview_plugin_style_node_add.inc on line 49

joachim’s picture

... and after changing that to the D7 replacement node_type_get_names(), the fields in the view are output as 'Array'.

Could Views Megarow be an option?

joachim’s picture

Megarow is about building big menus.

What you may want instead -- though note it doesn't have ajax -- is https://drupal.org/project/editableviews.

Issue summary: View changes

I don't know if anyone else out there still hasn't found a good substitute for this module, but a (very small, academic) project I'm working with is hiring a developer to port this module to D7 for real (though it's unlikely to support CCK multigroup functionality.) We don't have the funding or staff to support the module on an ongoing basis, but I'll put up a link to a Github repo for it when we have something working. If someone would be interested in adopting it from there, that would be wonderful. If not, I'm hoping it might still help small projects like ours that are stuck in Drupal 6 because of this issue.
