Hi - I've got a brand new install of WEC using the wireframe skin, and mostly it's going well icon_wink.gif However, the "Edit Page" button at the top of the page appears to only reload the page. From my limited investigation, it _should_ be putting little edit icons by the content elements? Should this be working by default, or does TemplaVoila mess with this? Or is it simply some missing content from the skin itself (maybe some missing CSS)?

I think you're talking about "frontend" editing. It works for me, but not for the other editor of the same site. I logged into her computer remotely, and tried frontend editing using both Firefox and IE7, and when clicking on the "Edit Page" button, the editing interface never appeared, so you're apparently experiencing the same problem. It would be good if someone could list the reasons this might happen and some solutions.

Peace,
David T

Ah. interesting. When it works for you, is it 'inline' or a pop-up? Just wondering if it might be a blocking thing.

A bit of further investigation showed me what it _should_ look like icon_wink.gif The most prominent errors are coming from prototype, which is loaded for the forum module. Once I work out how to disable that, I'll see if it resolves the problem icon_wink.gif

Inline--I think it's done using javascript to open additional code. When I do it, the browser's "Back" button activates, so it's essentially taking me to a new page with the editing tools included.

Yup. Essentially there is a hidden form that contains various options. The "Edit Page" button sets the "menuOpen" option to 1 (ie true) and then submits the form. What should then happen is that the page reloads with the menu visible. However, something appears to be going wrong as this point.

Either the page is missing some javascript that it should have - none of the existing code appears to reference the edit form - or something within the Typo3 PHP isn't working as it should.

I shall keep poking...

I may have a similar issue...

Under Firefox... Front end editing seems to be working ok...

BUT, under IE8 it is not working at all... it doesn't appear to do anything when I click on "page properties" or "new page".... If I click any of the edit icons (the content element "buttons" in the bar along top of page) it tries to navigate away from the page that I am on and fails with "Page Not Found".

I get the following errors:

Message: Expected ';'
Line: 1521 Char: 11 Code: 0
URI: http://www.gsbcfamily.org/typo3conf/ext/feeditadvanced/res/js/feEdit.js

Message: 'TYPO3.FeEdit.DropZone' is null or not an object
Line: 1 Char: 1 Code: 0
URI: http://www.gsbcfamily.org/typo3conf/ext/feeditadvanced/templavoila/feEditTV.js


Any thoughts?

Heath

Interesting - those 2 files look like additional front end editing javascript which don't appear to be loaded in my theme, which may explain some of my problems icon_wink.gif Hopefully with the beginning of a new week somebody who actually knows the insides of Typo3 templating and editing will be able to help further.

I had a quick look at those 2 javascript files - I think the 2nd error probably relates to the first. If I get time later today, I'll delve into the former a little further and see if I can isolate the problem.
