[TheWrongGrape]

Often, when viewing a product on the frontend, I'll notice an error and have found it a bit annoying to switch to the backend and search for the product before editing it. I put in a bit of code that allows me to easily edit a product by clicking a link on the frontend.

Note: I'm already logged into the backend in another tab and am logged into the frontend under a customer account I created for myself.

Put this code somewhere on your product.tpl page. I have it right near the product title.

{if $login eq "yourcustomeraccountusername"}
<small>
 - <a href="/admin/product_modify.php?productid={$product.productid}" target="_blank">
Edit</a>
</small>
{/if}

What this does is show an Edit link if and only if you are logged in on the frontend under your customer account (don't forget to fill in your username above). I know some people in the past have had issues with being logged in to the backend and frontend at the same time, but it works fine for me and saves me a lot of time since I edit a lot of products.

I depend on these forums greatly for help and hope that I can at least give a little help to someone else!

Nice work TheWrongGrape.

Tested on 4.3.2 and works fine.

Note that the product.tpl file is in /skin1/customer/main.

Thank you,
Andreas
