Channel Form: How Allow authors to edit their own entries

Yes, there is a group permission setting that allows users to edit their own entries. Go to /system/cp/members/groups click on the group in question and search for “Allowed actions”. There’s a checkbox “Edit own entries”. You’ll probably need to allow “Access control panel” as well.

In addition to that it might be a good idea to provide a litte “edit this entry” icon on the frontpage to make it easier for your users.

{!-- Provide an edit link for authors and Superadmins: --}
{if logged_in_member_id == author_id || logged_in_group_id == "1"}
   <a href="http://{cp_edit_entry_url}">Edit Me</a>
{/if}

Thank you for your reply.

This is for edit entries in control panel, but I’m looking to edit entries on frontend using channel form. Is there any way to do it?

Thanks.

Same permissions are required (except for CP access), but then they should be able to edit using the Channel Form.

Thank you Derek.

I’ve already set the permissions but I was looking for the template code in channel form to edit entries.

Is there any link with example code?

Thank you.

Ah, perhaps you are missing either the url_title= parameter or entry_id= parameter in your Channel Form tag?

Post your Channel Form tag here in a code block if you already have that and it’s not working.

Sorry I was missing the entry_id.

Thank you for your help.

No problem, glad it was that simple, and sorry for the confusion!
