1) Is there something like if functions exists, so I can make sure that my theme will still work after desactivation of the plugin?
You can do something like this:
<?php
if ( function_exists('editable_post_meta') ) {
editable_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'my_key', 'textarea');
} else {
echo get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'my_key', true);
}
?>
2) After editable_option has been included in the plugin, what of the dev guide do I need to have a look at (http://scribu.net/wordpress/front-end-editor/developer-guide.html)?
If you don’t want to create your own custom editable field type, you don’t have to look at it at all.
You can use editable_option() similarly to how you use editable_post_meta().
Nice thanks scribu fort the if/else suggestion!
I was trying to add a custom editable field type to my sidebar. A simple text field that I could change from the front end & I didn’t know where to get started (since copying over the whole snippet from the dev page resulted in a double definition and a white page).
btw. I found one issue (bug?) so far where I wanted to edit/add a tag from the frontend:
<?php the_tags(‘<ul class=”post-tags”>
gets a list of the post tags. When I doubleclick to edit/add a tag it opens all the previous tags –>
* tumblog
* vimeo
* video
Adding frontend as a tag results in
* front-end editor, tumblog, video, vimeo
* video
* vimeo
Is that intended behaviour?
Is that correct? I get an syntax error, unexpected ‘)’, expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’ in /Users/…
<?php if ( function_exists('editable_post_meta') ) { editable_post_meta($post_id, 'image', 'textarea');} else { echo get_post_meta($post_id), 'image', true);}?>
Sorry again, I’m not yet very experienced with tweaking my own stuff!

It’s very hard to debug and modify code if you stuff it all in one line like that.
Here is the corrected version:
<?php
if ( function_exists('editable_post_meta') ) {
editable_post_meta($post_id, 'image', 'textarea');
} else {
echo get_post_meta($post_id, 'image', true);
}
?>

Please paste the entire line.
Sorry about that:
<?php the_tags('<ul class="post-tags"><li>','</li><li>','</li></ul>'); ?>

This is now fixed in the development version (1.9.2-alpha3).
