Editing with the new Create Entries page

[fu]

We pushed out editing of your own entries using the new page with this code push. Please bang on it and let us know if you run into any issues specifically when editing an existing entry.

Known issues:

• Admin editing of community entries still goes to the old view (this is deliberate, because we have something else lined up for admins)
• Title still says "create entries".

Eeeep! I had been dealing with the absence of a "Turn off auto-formatting" option by editing the post once I'd made it, but now I can't even do that. (Well, I turned off beta, edited the post, and turned on beta again. Not ideal.)

Any ETA on that feature?

We're still trying to figure out the best place to put it. In the meantime you can surround whatever bits shouldn't be auto-formatted with <raw-code> .... </raw-code> tags.

...Oh, duh. I knew that. Thanks!

You plan on keeping the existing behaviour, right? An option to check on the actual posting page that remembers your choice? It doesn't really fit into any of the existing panels. Is there something that means you don't want to put it in its own panel? It would be easy to check it or not as you want, and then hiding it so you don't have to deal with it if you never need to change it again.

Yes, it will eventually have place in a pane (we haven't decided if it should be a separate pane or if it should be grouped with some other stuff; there's some new features coming up eventually that will likely make a logical grouping), we just forgot about it when we did the initial draft of the page and haven't added it in yet because we all keep forgetting. :) Pretty sure there's an actual bug for it; if not, it's definitely on the "shit that needs to get done before taking this out of beta" list we're keeping.

+1, thanks. I need this feature. :-)
