Open editor post in a popup

Question

I use this code to open the popup editor.

<script>
    function edit() {
       var pop = window.open(' <?php echo get_edit_post_link(); ?> ', '_blank', 'screenX=200,screenY=200,width=1000,height=600');
        }
    </script>
<a href="" onclick="edit()" >Edit</a>

This returns this url: http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/post.php?post=122&action=edit

But it shows: http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/edit.php

The problems is this "%amp;"

Any solution?

Answer 1

You need to tell get_edit_post_link to not use the ampersands as specified in the codex. Try this instead:

   var pop = window.open(' <?php echo get_edit_post_link(get_the_ID(), ''); ?> ', '_blank', 'screenX=200,screenY=200,width=1000,height=600');
