So frustrating I REALLY want to try this but cannot access IE for a few more
days.
FE is something I know my IT illiterate clients need.
I was able to try the other examples and it seems to me a few things.
The TYPO3 edit icons, work, but they are not user friendly.
They do not always clearly show what can actually be edited.
I love the idea of this:
1) When logged in, moving your mouse about the screen various active
elements, ie in TYPO3 terms content objects highlight. This highlighting
could be a simple border or a background shading.
2) When you click (no MS double click please), either, the content goes into
edit mode OR a context menu appears with options to edit, copy, move, hide
etc.
To me this sort of direction extends the TYPO3 FE functionality to something
really special to help reduce the learning curve and increase the usability
for USERS of TYPO3.
Happy days!
Matthew
