Implementing Experience Manager in SDL Web 8

Question

everyone

I'm trying to implementing XPM in SDL Web8. As the picture shown below, I set up XMP from Step1 to Step3.

1. I installed the web site extension according to the SDL Web 8's documentation. http://docs.sdl.com/LiveContent/content/en-US/SDL%20Web-v1/GUID-6A8C7A13-A652-4134-B93E-9AFED1A7DC22#addHistory=true&filename=GUID-763F256E-A6A9-4FE3-975F-9B7846CFC7F2.xml&docid=GUID-763F256E-A6A9-4FE3-975F-9B7846CFC7F2&inner_id=&tid=&query=&scope=&resource=&toc=false&eventType=lcContent.loadDocGUID-763F256E-A6A9-4FE3-975F-9B7846CFC7F2

2. I checked the preview service is running and has been properly registered in discovery service.

3. I added enable inline edit for content & page TBB to Component Template$ Page Template. Then I published the page which I want to try inline edit.
   I found some codes added in this page's source file. See below:
   

But after these configuration, I still couldn't edit my page inline.
Could anybody know the reason and tell me some advice?
I found information about XPM in SDL Tridion 2013 that says I should config target type in CME (check the inline edit box in target type property page).
I'm not clear that whether should I config target type like this since architecture of SDL Web8 differ from Tridion 2013.
Any information would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Situation now is like below:
1) If I accessed the page I wanner change through server's browser, the edit button appeared. And I could edit the page.
2) If I accessed the page same as (1) through remote browser(client browser), the edit button didn't appear. I couldn't open the edit window(xpm).
3) If I enter the URL of my page's edit window(xpm) to the client browser, I could open the window, but I couldn't change anything.

It's very difficult to get to the bottom of your specific issue without further details. However, with regards to your question about configuring Target Types:

I found information about XPM in SDL Tridion 2013 that says I should config target type in CME (check the inline edit box in target type property page). I'm not clear that whether should I config target type like this since architecture of SDL Web8 differ from Tridion 2013.

You're right, the architecture is different between SDL Tridion 2013 and SDL Web 8.

Unless you're using a legacy configuration, SDL Web 8 uses Topology Manager and the Discovery Service, where SDL Tridion 2013 used Publishing Targets and Target Types.

In SDL Tridion 2013, you used to have to Configure whether to Enable for inline editing in the Publishing Target (not the Target Type):

In a Web 8 installation, to use Experience Manager, the Preview Service and Session Enabled Content Service need to be set up on the Content Delivery side, and their Capabilities registered with its Discovery Service. Further details on testing this can be found in the Setting up publishing for Experience Manager page in the online documentation.

As I say, it's quite difficult to diagnose your issue with the information given. However, you may want to double-check that you've properly installed the Content Manager elements of Experience Manager using the Content Manager Installer (SDLWeb8CM.exe).

Further details can be found on the Software components installed by the Content Manager installer page.

Answer 2

I found the reason for my problem now. The XPM's edit button did not appear on remote browser, thouth it appeared on my server's browser.
I need to add an XPM URL to the [Enable inline edit for page] TBB's parameter, one of my page template's TBBs.
