Front-end edit buttons missing?

Hi
I have enabled front end editing in the site and in K2; some of the articles and modules show an "edit" button, but many do not. Is this a small bug in the template?

Hi

Im afraid edit button is conected with some other header element, so please try match headers with the articles which does have edit button or show me the working and not working example so I'll try to fix it.

It seems that all the modules are OK but not the articles. So I can't figure out a pattern with headers...
Can I send you a login by PM?

Hi

Yes I meant articles. What affects it are extra informations ad their configuration. You can send me an access to ftp and show me the page where there is no edit button along with the access so I'll be able to see (not see) it.

Hi

I got Your joomla panel access, but I need an ftp access to find the cause of it. Please send it to me.

OK its done.

Hi

I have checked everything, but looks like it's just misconfiguration. Edit link is not showing even in a default joomla template as (not)seen on screenshot. Please try follow this instruction in order to meet all requirements https://www.gavick.com/documentation/su ... -k2-items/ if this will not work than You will have to report it to K2 developers.

Got it. But it is not only a K2 problem. None of my Joomla articles show a front-end edit button.
Also, the modules are not being edited at the front end, instead they are opening the administrator. Since Joomla 3.2 I think they should be editable in the front end.

Hi

Module frontend editing is still in a TODO list. I apologise for that. Meanwhile we have provided a link to module configuration at backend.

But edit button for regular joomla articles is in fact missing in wide-layout style. I'm gonna inform programmers about it. Than You for report.

If You want You can try add it Yourself manually with this code:

Code: Select all

   <?php if ($canEdit) : ?>
     <ul class="item-info">   
      <li><?php echo preg_replace('@<img.*?alt="(.*?)".*?\/>@mis', '$1',JHtml::_('icon.edit', $this->item, $params)); ?></li>
   </ul>
   <?php endif; ?>   


files are in /html/com_content/article/ folder.

Hi
I have added your code to the php files, and front-end editing works now. But the result is not really professional enough. It seems it does not work at all with JCK, only with JCE. The look is bad, there are bugs, and the (very important) Joomla 3.2 versioning is missing.

So I have a question - can I replace the front-end editing with a simple link to the back end of the article, the same as the module front-end editing?
Thank you
Stephen

Hi

I have informed developers about this. I've just checked and it has been added as a task before the next update, so this fix will be available with template package soon.

Thank you Teitbite. When is the next update?

Hi

Sorry, but I cannot tell for sure. You will need to observe updates page for that.

Hi

I've just seen that this fix is implemented. It will be included in packages soon.

Thanks!

Hi

Scheduled for a Monday updates releases.

Hi Teitbite:
I just upgraded to v 3.15, but still there seems to be some articles not offering front-end editing.
My site is dev.ficcionesmedia.com/provencal-2 and the front end login is only through the "News" page.
Look under the "Menus" (and each sub-menu) and also "About Us" has no editing button.
I sent you the login credentials before, but I will send again by pm.
Thank you for your help.

Hi

Looks like everything is connected with edit and print buttons. You can change it by editing /html/com_content/article/default.php and replacing:

Code: Select all

     <?php if (
      $params->get('show_category') ||
      (
         $params->get('show_parent_category') &&
         $this->item->parent_slug != '1:root'
      ) ||
      $params->get('show_hits')
     ) : ?>
     <ul class="item-info">
        <?php if ($params->get('show_category')) : ?>
        <li>
           <?php
              $title = $this->escape($this->item->category_title);
              $url = '<a href="'.JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getCategoryRoute($this->item->catslug)) . '" itemprop="genre">'.$title.'</a>';
           ?>

           <?php else : ?>
              <?php echo JText::sprintf('TPL_GK_LANG_PUBLISHED_IN', '<span itemprop="genre">' . $title . '</span>'); ?>

        <?php endif; ?>

                  <?php if ($params->get('link_parent_category') and $this->item->parent_slug) : ?>
                  <?php echo JText::sprintf('COM_CONTENT_PARENT', $url); ?>

         <?php if ($params->get('show_print_icon')) : ?>

I made the change as you told me and everything is working now, except the joomla article edit button is hidden under the article image! (I found it by deleting the image in "ABOUT US")
How do I move the article info or give it a bigger z-index?

By the way I forgot to say that the front-end editing format is excellent now in version 3.15. Good job!

Update: I changed the menu type to "single article" from "single article one page wide" and the problem has disappeared.

Hi

You can revert it back and show me the url with example. It's probably just some css missing.

Sorry for this, I posted too soon.
I actually need to keep the "single article one page wide" format in "About Us" page, so I do need to move the edit button or make it visible over the article image.
The url is http://dev.ficcionesmedia.com/provencal ... .php/about
Here is the screenshot (and another page showing the edit button

Hi

Ok. I've just checked the problem. Looks like this code is much too early in this case. I need You to give me an access to ftp or send me the file: /html/com_content/article/default.php so I can correct it.

Hi

I've made some changes. Please check if it's ok now. Here is a new content of folder: /html/com_content/article/

Thank you so much for your work on this Pyotr. The client is quite difficult, and so (as you can see) I have modified the template A LOT since I started
You have corrected the menu items where the edit button was missing. But unfortunately the edit button is missing in the articles under the "MENUS" item (Lunch Menu, Dinner Menu, etc.)
Can I ask you one more time to take a look at this?
Stephen

Hi

It's working there as well. You just need to add this to override.css

Code: Select all

.gk-menu-container {
    margin: 0;
}


Thank you!

Just one little problem remaining. Since the fix, Joomla "single articles" are appearing with this "NULL" message on top.

Screenshot 2014-12-31 21.19.54.png

The "single Article - one page layout" does not have this problem, so I changed all the lunch menu, dinner menu, etc to single Article - one page layout.
But you will still see it if you link to a single article directly, for example by clicking on "Brunch" or "Lunch" or "Dinner" module on home page.

Hi

Sorry, my bad. I've left it there by accident.

Fixed now.

Thank you!
Can you please let me know which files you changed? I made a copy of the site yesterday on the live host.
Happy 2015 to you.

Hi

I have changed all files from /html/com_content/article/ folder. A package with files is attached. Plus the part of the code for css:

Code: Select all

.gk-menu-container {
    margin: 0;
}


Is problem solved now ? I've made a site with this template 2 month ago but I'm still having this problem. I have joomla articles for frontend edit, not k2 articles

Hi

This is over 6month old thread, but I believe if You will use the attchment from my post above it would fix this problem for You as well.

Hello and sorry for asking but i just installed last update and the problem seems to be there can we have all the files changed so as to apply easy?
Thanks in advance

Hi

Of course, but it's the same package as in my last post. Not much has changed since than.

Hi!
Same problem as antonis.
Just after package installation I saw the EDIT icon and everything seemed to work well.
Unfortunately neither the “save“ button nor the “cancel“ button are active.
What can I do in order to activate these buttons?

Thank you in advance!

Hi

Have You replace the file I provided ? If yes that tell me the exact url to the page You have this problem with and send me an access if it's necessary to see the issue.
