Edit and Dashboard missing

Permalink
I'm new to Concrete5 and love the ease of use. Except that for the second time now I've lost both the edit button and the dashboard. I installed concrete5 on my local computer a few days ago and began developing my site. At one point I shut down my browser and when I reloaded the site the edit and dashboard were gone. After reading all the posts, I decided to reinstall. No prob - all went well for several days. Then again the edit button and dashboard suddenly disappeared. When I go to mysite/index.php/dashboard, my login is not recognized. I requested a new password but I did not get a response, so I assume that was not working either.

Any help would be tremendously appreciated!

Are you on your local machine? If so, you cannot get any reset password email.

make it sure that no one messed up your sites password. As C5 doesn't update the password automatically.

Hi Rony, thanks for your response. Yes I am working on my local machine. However I believe the login issue is probably related to the same problem that has caused my edit button and dashboard to disappear. Any idea why that would happen?

Login issue is different thing. But the edit bar disappear seems like you have include any jquery library which conflicts with the C5 core jquery library.

N.B The jquery library file is like jquery.js, jquery1.8.1.min.js or something like that. Just double check whether you site doesn't have it twice.

Hi there and thank you for your response. I'm new to C5 so there is a bit of a learning curve. After exhausting all forums related to disappearing dashboards, I realized the problem isn't with my dashboard/edit functions disappearing but rather that since I'm not recognized as admin I just have a user view of the site (the entire site works perfectly from that perspective). I accessed the dashboard via mysite/index.php/dashboard and my login was not recognized. My question is, how/why did my login credentials suddenly disappear after having worked with my site (local) for several days (no one else has had access) and how can I restore?

Thanks for any help that can be offered!

PS - I'm a newbie with expired development skills (tho can come up to speed if called to the task)

From the screenshot, I can see that you are aware about database tables. So go to the Users table and find the user called admin. Then check the column uIsActive is set to 1. If not then set it 1. 0 won't allow you to logged in. If still you can't logged in, then you might need to change the password. There are several posts for reset passwords available.

Hi Rony!

That wasn't the solution, however, it put me square on the right path and I figured it out. Up and running within 10 minutes of reading your post :) Thanks so much!
