Hi Serge, Unfortunately I can't share the code - closed source in-house development :-( However, I am very happy to answer questions about it if you are interested.
In the end, I think it would be good to mention your requirements to Magnolia Inc. I get the feeling they don't really understand the problem. I think this is because they always develop their edit-UI in conjunction with their STK templates. So whenever something does not work with the styles, they just tweak the STK CSS and HTML until it all works again. If they had to make their edit-UI work with really arbitrary designs, I think they would better understand where we are coming from. My perception is that magnolia 4.5 and 5.0 have made the problem worse rather than better. At least in Magnolia 4.4 the edit-bars were explicitly placed in the freemarker code. In Magnolia 4.5 and beyond you have lost the ability to place most bars manually, and they are just inserted for you automatically. However, to make the edit-UI work with our layouts, and to provide a richer UI experience for editors, we wanted features like: - ability to place an edit-button anywhere in the layout, not necessarily within the component or area being edited by it. - ability to open arbitrary dialogs for a given content - ability to render a given content with arbitrary template - ability to open arbitrary dialogs and pages in a pop-up window - ability to show and hide edit-UI components based on user roles and groups - ability to show (and change) the activation status for a given content via the edit-UI controls - ability to move content between areas (not just reorder the content within an area) - ability to create, delete and move pages (not just components) via buttons in the edit-UI - configurable style attributes for all edit-UI components - configurable CSS (per website) for the edit-UI components - and more... Basically, Magnolia's automatisms are awesome when they work, but when they don't work they suck, because they can't be customized by configuration...
