Manageable

A WordPress plugin that allows for inline editing of the date, title, author, categories, tags, status and more on both posts and pages without leaving the “Manage” admin sections. No need to load each post or page individually.  Simply double-click anywhere in the post or page row and when you’re done, press enter.  Alternately, you can click the link in the new “Edit” column.

Features

  • Fastest way to mass-edit posts and pages
  • Double-click the row to edit, hit enter to save
  • Autocompletion for post tags
  • Takes user privileges into account
  • Doesn’t add another panel to your admin (integrates with existing management panels)
  • Post fields: date, title, slug, author, categories, tags, comment status, ping status, post status
  • Page fields: date, title, slug, parent, template, order, password, author, comment status, ping status, post status

    Thanks. Seems like a really useful plugin… I have to make updates to multiple pages, and this would be a timesaver. Will test it on my local install first though :)

    Nice plugin but I think the edit windows is a bit small and there would be nice with the possibility to edit many posts at the same time.
    But until there’s support for version checks with update plugins I’m passing on this one.

    This is a great plugin but it didnt seem to work for me in WP 2.5.1
    I gives a js error “editRow is not defined” when the “Edit” link is clicked

    Christian– Could you disable your plugins one by one and see if one is conflicting?

    Brilliant! Thank you for writing this. It’s exactly what I’ve been wanting the Manage screens to be.

    Great plugin! I have two questions though:
    1. When used, does it change post’s update date? I keep track of update times and would be VERY pleased to change some items, like including a forgotten tag, WITHOUT changing the post’s update time…
    2. Is it possible to show any kind of Ajax animated gif to show the plugin is working?

  9. Cristian on June 25th, 2008

    I agree with Jose Luis - it would be good to show an Ajax animated icon with a label next to the icon saying “Saving” which then says “Saved” which is hidden after a few seconds.

    I am having the same Jquery error.

    20function tag_update_quickclicks() {
    21 var current_tags = jQuery( ‘#tags-input’ ).val().split(’,');

    I deactivated all the plugins but manageable and had the same error. I have 2.5.1.

    Jane-

    Those errors are being created by the “FeedWordPress” plugin. Once that plugin is disabled, Manageable works fine. Here’s some more info on the error:

    Last two releases of Manageable introduced complete destruction of non-Latin chars.

    Firefox 3, blog in UTF-8, actual posts are Cyrillic.

    When opening post in Manageable, everything non-latin becomes garbage.

    It looks like a promising plugin. On my blog, it does nothing at all after activation. I don’t have a lot of plugins running and I suppose I’ll have to find the conflicting culprit. Perhaps I’ll look through your code and see where the problem may be.

    I’m no expert and hate doing it, but I’ve been a bit successful doing it that way in the past.

    Just wanted to offer my sincere thanks for an excellent plug-in. I have a reasonably large site with a somewhat elongated category structure that I’ve wanted to re-jiggle for a while but gave up as had to go into each post individually (I have over 1700 posts so gave up on this quite quickly).

    Along comes your plug-in and, at last, it’s a breeze to edit posts.

    Personally I am so impressed with the time saving and usability of your plug-in that I think it should be included in WP as standard.

    Thank you very much Aaron. A fantastic addition to WP.

    [...] Manageable is my remedy.  Basically, you can edit all of the data related to a post or page (all except the actual content) using a simple Ajax interface.  This means you never leave the management panel.  So check it out and let me know what you think.  And if you’re so inclined, you can vote for it here.

    this looks so great, but will it fail in 2.6? The highest version mentioned in WP PlugDir is still 2.5.1.

    marco- i’ve used manageable on 2.6 without any problems. backup your db just in case though. i’ll do further testing and release an update in the next couple of days.

    YOU are a lifesaver!!
    I am currently working on a new project that requires alot of tags and categories. Many of them are over-lapping. I had over 75 posts that all needed to be renamed and retagged based on my client changing their mind. What would have taken me quite a number of hours to do, took me a mere 10 minutes.
    Because of your plugin, I am now back to being ahead of schedule.
    Thanks again!

    A great idea for a plugin, but when I try and use it I lose the Organize Series data for the post I am updating. :(

    You can fix the conflict of managable and feedwordpress by changing this


    function tag_update_quickclicks() {
    var current_tags = jQuery( ‘#tags-input’ ).val().split(’,');

    to this


    function tag_update_quickclicks() {
    var current_tags;
    if(jQuery( '#tags-input' ).size() > 0) {
    current_tags = jQuery( '#tags-input' ).val().split(',');
    }
    else {
    current_tags = new Array();
    }

    [...] Manageable lets you edit post slugs, date, title, author, categories, anything, inline right from the Manage page. This plugin looks like a killer idea and is probably a plugin I’ll end up using. I would have splitted the main file into smaller files that would load only if (is_admin()), I would make the wp-config.php including fully WP 2.6 compliant, and I would make sure the javascripts are correctly added, those are my thoughts when looking at this plugin. I will definitely give this plugin a real try. [...]

    Hi :)
    First of all, thank you for this most useful plugin, it’s a real life saver.

    I’ve noticed that when I have a double quote character in my title and I click on Manageable’s edit button, the part of the title after the first double quote disappears, as well as the quote - because they’re not escaped.

    Adding htmlspecialchars to $post-post_title on line 200 fixes the problem.

    echo htmlspecialchars($post->post_title)

    instead

    echo $post->post_title

    Hope this helps :)
