Click shortcode to resume editing

[jedateach]

It would be super useful to be able to open up a shortcode in the popup box again to continue editing.

Perhaps render something clickable in TinyMCE.

This module is definitely progressing towards a more flexible CMS. Allowing rich content, without requiring users to edit in TinyMCE.

Hey Jeremy,

Currently, if you select shortcode text and click the shortcode toolbar
icon it will open in editing mode. Is that working for you?

Yep, it works as you describe. Nice. Would be good if you could just put the cursor inside it, or actually click it.

Agreed! Feel free to have a go if you're feeling inspired, I won't have time for a wee while :)

Here is a good reference for doing this:

Handles the display of the placeholder in TinyMce.

Perhaps we could do the same:

• Wrap tags with some kind of markup on TinyMCE load.
• Bind events to that markup so Shortcodable editor can open up again.
• Remove tags on save. Reduce extra markup back down to short codes.

Markup can be styled nicely, perhaps on a per-shortcode basis.
eg:

+1 would love to see this enhancement. Haven't tried this module yet but it looks great thanks @sheadawson

The new placeholders will help with this but still need to fix shortcodes that don't have placeholders. I'll close this issue as it's a less specific duplicate of #11
