In-Page Edit Toolbars and Buttons

you are here (click to zoom) - discover the stack

When a user is logged on and has edit permissions, he should see buttons to edit his content or perform other actions. This is all done in HTML / JavaScript. By default, the server will render this in places defined by the template using placeholders like @Edit.TagToolbar(Content) and similar.

Note that usually this HTML is generated by a server-side template, and will usually be wrapped in a if-user-logged-in condition.

So if you want to do things differently, here's how - just remember that this is an advanced use case so it's a bit harder than what you're used to with 2sxc :).
