edit entry :: here's a non-php version.

and a similar bit of code from the girlie matters to create a link to individual comments edit form. with a little CSS you can even make these 'invisible' to the reader.

Of course this is only good for static IPs. I wouldn't wanna try this with a dynamic IP.

Couldn't you just check for a cookie from the site with the user's login? MT does this already with the search facility (if you selected to 'Remember me' and then do a search on the public side, you'll see [Edit] links by the blog entries).

I guess – there are always different ways to reach the same solution. Care to write a script? 😉 I know I couldn't which is why I like this method – I know it works, and I don't have to tweak it.

This compares the user name that goes in the comments author form to the post author and, if they're the same, puts in an edit entry link. Only works if the comments user is the same as the author. This could be modified to use the MT cookie.

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
<!–
var MyAuthor = '<$MTEntryAuthor$>';
var ThisUser = getCookie("mtcmtauth");
if ((MyAuthor.indexOf(ThisUser) != -1) && ThisUser != ")
{
document.write(' <a href="http://www.whiterose.org/MT/mt.cgi?__mode=view&_type=entry&id=<$MTEntryID$>&blog_id=<$MTBlogID$>">(Edit)</a>');
}
;
//–>
</script>

What a great tip. It'll definitely improve the quality of my editing.

On a side note: it's sad that comment spam has reached the point where image verification schemes are necessary. Not unwarranted, mind you, but still it's sad.

Edit This Post Authentication Via MT Cookie
In response to Richard's inquiry about using the MT user cookie to authenticate a 'edit this post' feature, I have a slight hack which provides the solution. As an alternate to IP-based authentication, a hack could be applied to the…
