Typo3 Developer: Simple Typo3 FE Editing
Make Typo3 less intimidating
The Typo3 backend can be intimidating for those tasked with administering a Typo3 web site. Most tasks do not require users to be familiar with all of the modules available through the backend.
You may want to establish a backend user group called "editors" with limited permissions to edit content. If you also create a front end user group and establish a relationship to the editors group, a user will be able to edit the web site by clicking on icons from the front end.

Install the extension "simulatebe"
Install the extension "simulatebe". Then add to the setup field of your template:
page.headerData.10 < plugin.tx_simulatebe_pi1
Activate the front end admin panel by adding:
page.config.admPanel = 1
Provide access to both Backend and Front End editing
Set the interfaces selection menu to offer both the backend and front end interfaces. During the installation process you may have chosen to not set the Interfaces Selection Menu to offer both the backend and front end. To change the configuration after the installation process has been completed, edit the localconfig.php file in the typo3conf directory.
Select Configuration under Tools in the first column of the backend interface. You will see all available settings displayed as a hierarchical tree. Locate the "interfaces" link under "BE" then copy the resulting code hint and paste it into your localconfig.php file at the end, but before the closing php tag (?>) . Then add "backend, front end" between the single quotes for the interfaces setting.

Now our special user, "editor", can login to the admin page and choose "Front End" from the Interfaces selection menu. Once logged in the user will be redirected to the front end, and icons will be available next to editable content.
