Hi all,
I'm using couch and the very nice feature of inline editing to build a small app, to serve as a text editor for translation work. I find that most text editors require you to have different windows open, and are too cluttered with layout stuff. So I'm using couch to build something more fit to the purpose.
You can see it here: http://thijsvissia.nl/webapp/what-is-wealth.html
Basically the page displays several source texts (to be copy-pasted in, but I aim to find another solution to be able to load a whole text in one go), and a field for the target translation, and all are available for editing at a single click (once logged in). You can split one or both source texts up into single sentences, if you define a character to separate them, and add the same character to the source field(s) at appropriate points. (The splitter function works with "cms:each", and the text splitter area of the page is hidden if no character is defined).
Every fragment of the current translation-in-progress is on its own cloned page of the "webapp" template, numbered, and each of them is listed at the bottom of the page. I will create another part of the same page where the full translation is being output using a cms:pages tag, but I haven't gotten round to this yet.
What I was wondering right now, is if the back-end "Add new" button can somehow be brought to the front end, to create pages from there instead of going to the back end to do so.
Any suggestions appreciated.
