This TYPO3 extension is a simple solution to allow a logged in backend user to edit content elements of a TYPO3 page via the frontend. It inserts editing icons around elements for this purpose, which redirect the user to the corresponding content element form in the backend.

The functionality was part of the TYPO3 Core until TYPO3 v10.0, and moved into its own extension, receiving its own public repository.

Installation

in a TYPO3 v10 installation.

Current state

The extension has been part of TYPO3 Core for a very long time but never received much love. It may become more healthy if maintained as third-party extension and has been extracted for this reason.
