Fun Edit Posts Link (✍)
Tiny little fun idea by Dave Rupert.
Put this:
<?php edit_post_link('✍','',' '); ?>before all your:
<?php the_title() ?>So like:
<h1><?php edit_post_link('✍','',' '); ?> <?php the_title() ?></h1>And when logged in, if you have edit privileges for that post/page/whatever, you’ll see the titles like:
✍ How To Be Awesome
Where the little icon is a clickable link to edit that page. Just gotta make sure your page is UTF-8, which I bet it already is.

Gray GilmoreReally cool – didn’t understand Dave’s tweet. I kept on looking at the graph thinking, “what the hell does this have to do with anything!?”. Now I get it!

JacobThis make the edit post link WAY less annoying. Thanks!

It’s much safer when code files are limited to ASCII. I’d replace the hand with ✍, the HTML entity equivalent.

Chip BennettJust curious if escaping the ampersand will work:
✍
(otherwise, the icon keeps getting rendered).

Oooookay, how about code?
✍Or code with an escaped ampersand:
✍And if all else fails: & # 9997 ;

Heh, thanks for the help, Chip.

why not use the front end editor plugin? seems to work.

I usually tend to think of thinks from the other point of view – why bother loading a plugin when something lighter and simpler exists?

MatthewJenkinsOh no, I’m the only person in the universe who’s wordpress theme is not UTF-8.
Coda says: You are trying to insert characters which cannot be handled by the file’s current encoding without losing information. Do you want to insert the characters anyway?
It gives me three options: Promote to UTF-16, Promote to UTF-8, or Insert.
Strangely, “cancel” is not an option…

Weird.
My browser doesn’t display that as a symbol ( it displays a square box with number 27 on top and 00 at the bottom. )
OS = window XP SP3
Browsers = FF5 / Chrome12and the page is UTF 8
