Integrate Direct Edit Button into Custom Application

1 Create a custom Permission Service

Create a Permission service that implements the PermissionServiceInterface.

getApplicationPrefix return a unique application prefix.

getUserId return a unique user id

mapPimcoreUserId optionally map to a pimcore user that will be used vor the version files. Return 0 (system-user) if you cannot do that.

hasAssetPermission check if the current user has permission to edit the asset.

The following example is a very simple Permission service that identifies the user by his session id and lets everyone edit every asset. In your real life application you probably will have a firewall and get the user from there.

namespace AppBundle\DirectEdit\Permission;

use Pimcore\Bundle\DirectEditBundle\Service\Permission\PermissionServiceInterface;
use Pimcore\Bundle\DirectEditBundle\Service\Permission\PimcoreBackendPermissionService;
use Pimcore\Model\Asset;
use Pimcore\Model\User;

class SessionPermissionService implements PermissionServiceInterface
{

    public function hasAssetPermission(Asset $asset): bool
    {
        $user = User::getById($this->mapPimcoreUserId());
        return $user->isAllowed(PimcoreBackendPermissionService::PERMISSION_NAME) && $asset->isAllowed('publish', $user);
    }

    public function getUserId(): ?string
    {
        return session_id();
    }


    public function getApplicationPrefix(): string
    {
        return 'session_id_';
    }

    public function mapPimcoreUserId(): int
    {
        return 0;
    }
}

2 Create a new Controller and implement routes

In your Controller you will need to set a prefix and implement the routes. You can simply use the FileEditControllerTrait if you dont need something custom.

Use your Permission Service and inject it

    AppBundle\Controller\DirectEdit\FrontendDirectEditController:
        arguments:
            $permissionService: '@AppBundle\DirectEdit\Permission\SessionPermissionService'

<?php

namespace AppBundle\Controller\DirectEdit;

/**
 * Class FrontendDirectEditController
 * @package AppBundle\Controller\DirectEdit
 *
 * @Route("/frontend_direct_edit")
 */
class FrontendDirectEditController extends FrontendController
{
    use \Pimcore\Bundle\DirectEditBundle\Controller\FileEditControllerTrait;
}

Use it in the Frontend

You will need bootstrap and JQuery available in your frontend. Configure the script by setting a variable:

var pimcoredirectedit = {
    routePrefix: '...',
    applicationPrefix: '...',
    userId: '...'
}

Pass the prefix of your route, your application prefix and the current user id.

Add the js from the bundle: <script src="/bundles/pimcoredirectedit/js/bootstrap-modal.js"></script>

Choose a button and initialize the popup for it: createDirectEditButton(<my-button>, <asset-id>)

                        {% if permissionService.hasAssetPermission(asset) %}
