I've got a handful of content buckets that are controlled through the Theme Customizer (newly added in 3.4). I called the data in my templates with get_theme_mod().
Any plans to support this type of content? I'm finding the Theme Customizer a great place to set some simple text buckets and I'd love if folks could edit with Front End Editor.
Thanks!
Could you post some example code that sets up one such "text bucket" on http://gist.github.com (or a similar site)?

Sure! Here is a quick example, allowing the user to input a line of text into the footer:

If needed, I could output some extra classes. I'm not certain how Front End Editor actually works (a client installed it). Does it hook as the PHP renders or in the front-end based on class names, etc?
And thanks for the quick response.

btw, there is an equivalent function for updating the data, set_theme_mod: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/set_theme_mod so I thought it might be something you guys could implement without having to move mountains.
Plus I assume others might want it as the Theme Customizer gets more popular. It's a great way to avoid an options page.

It wraps the content in a <div> using filters such as 'the_content' and then makes them editable via JS.
Since get_theme_mod() has such a filter, it should be doable. I don't know when I'll get around to implemening it, but I posted it on github:
