Topic Tag: Layouts plugin

Problem: I would like to create a design where posts are listed in a View and editable on the same page.

Solution:
You can insert the "Add New" Form on the same page as a View of posts. You can add a link that says "Add New Post", and scroll to the Form when someone clicks that link. Showing and hiding the Add New Form will require custom CSS and JavaScript, but it can be done.

The Edit Form isn't easily implemented like this. You would have to place the Edit Post Form in the View loop, and that isn't the recommended way to add Edit Post Forms. You can try it, but some features of Forms, like AJAX submission and custom validation, may not be fully functional in a loop. Again, custom CSS and JavaScript would be required to show and hide individual Forms when links are clicked.
