Editing pages with Composer
Permalink
Page types need an option for "Edit With Composer" RIght now if you set up a page to launch composer when you create a new page, the user gets the composer form to add in the page.
When it comes time to edit the page, if they click the gear Icon they get the Composer form, but if they click the pencil Icon they get a page in edit mode. For pages that you want the user working in Composer they should get the Composer form when they click the pencil.
Otherwise, like I am doing right now, you have to tell your client click the pencil to edit these pages, click to gear to edit other pages. That's not good. An "Edit with Composer" option would eliminate confusion
Maybe the pencil and the gear should be combined into one button, they seem to cause confusion sometimes.

I just released "Enhanced Toolbar" for 5.7http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/enhanced-toolbar... The version for 5.6 had toolbar buttons for editing with composer. I didn't think I would need them for 5.7, I hadn't done much with Composer pages before re-writing the add on. I'll have to add the Composer buttons in.
