Question

Is it possible to place a "link" on a TWiki page, that when clicked, will place me in "edit" on the target page instead of having it rendered?

Answer

Yes, put a link to

<a href='http://www.twiki.org/cgi-bin/edit/TARGET_WEB/TARGET_TOPIC?time=%GMTIME{"$day$hour$minutes$seconds"}'>

(replace TARGET_WEB & TARGET_TOPIC by your value). The GMTIME parameter is here to generate a new url on each edit to prevent the browser re-using an old contents.

See a sample at: http://wikix.ilog.fr/wiki/bin/view/Koalaskin_tasklist/WebHome (teh edit icon provides a direct edit link)

If placed in a skin, write this:

[[%SCRIPTURL%/edit%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/%BASEWEB%/%BASETOPIC%?t=%GMTIME{"$day$hour$minutes$seconds"}%][Edit]]

The "Edit" text can be replaced by an image.

We ought provide something simpler and more elegant than this.

%PAGEEDIT{web.topic, "Edit"}% perhaps.

or just %EDIT%
