Rogue Edit Bar
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Like many others out there, I lost my edit-dashboard bar on two of my three sites. I have spent the day going through all the fixes recommended to no avail. I’m an amateur web designer and admit that maybe I’m just not getting it. I have a sense of urgency, though as I’m webmaster for our Special Olympics team and I have athletes waiting for me to edit the site so that they can get their basketball information.
Quick background: through my web host I have a plan that entitles me to six domains. One serves as the primary domain and the other two are sub-directories.
• It is the primary domain and one sub-domain that are causing me problems.
• I have not edited the primary domain for one week (no problems) and the other domain for at least one month.
• I am the only one with access to administer the sites.
• Each site uses a difference theme (all free either as a theme that comes with Concrete5 or through the marketplace)
And here’s what I’ve done today.
• Checked in each theme’s “elements” file to make sure the footer.php was set to: <?php Loader::element ('footer_required'); ?>
• Cleared the cache both in the brower and through the dashboard.
• Tried to edit the file through IE (versus Mozilla)
• Updated Concrete5 to 5.6.2.1 (from Concrete 5.6.1.2)
• Went through the dashboard to check the logs and saw nothing relevant there (most notices are more than a month old)
• Used the inspector to check the console for errors. No errors but a bunch of warnings through in javascript that make no sense to me.
I have a cold and am feeling lousy. Will anyone have mercy and help me figure this out. I’d be very grateful!
The two sites are:

Thank you in advance for your advice.

P.S. Attached is the js warnings from the SRS site.

Thanks for the thought - and if it is looking like Drupal that could be the problem. I set it up through Concrete, it's using the "Plain Yogurt" theme (with a few customizations) and the home pages says "Concrete5 - open source CMS." I also searched my files for the word "Drupal" and nothing came up. Several years ago I tried a test site with Drupal with a different host but haven't looked at it since. Can you tell me why you think it's a Drupal site - maybe that will help me find the bug.
Thanks!!

I expect its because if you look at the page source it says
<meta name="Generator" content="Drupal 7 (http://drupal.org)" />

That is so weird -- here's what I see:

aha!
You forgot the "197" in the original link.
I'll look again

Right-click on the site and look at the underlying HTML. It's definitely a Drupal site. Not a 'concrete5' in site. Are you sure you've given us the correct URL the the second site? When you log in, copy 'n paste the URL where you land and post it here.
Hi Reine,
When I inspect element in Chrome, I spot Drupal references right away (see attached image showing meta data)

The southregionstars site uses the 'Tiger' theme which is not a free theme so normally the theme author provides some support but I don't think this is theme related.
I'm wondering if it could be a conflict with some JavaScript you are loading form the JB Mega Menu. The page is loading the stuff from Mega Menu but I don't see anything on the page that actually uses the Mega Menu.
If you are not using the Mega Menu anywhere, I would try removing the package from your site. Then run the Dashboard->Automated Jobs->Remove Old Page versions to see if you can clear out any page versions that used this code.
Those warnings are not JS warnings. They are caused by css rules that apply to a different brand of browser.
Your site seems to be running fine until you put it in Edit Mode which is something we cannot do. If you would like to PM me your admin password, I can have a look at it in Edit mode for you to see if I can see anything wrong.

I'm actually using "mega menu" on the SRS site, although it's under Participation/Sports. Using the two navigation blocks hasn't been a problem before; however I see that there is an updated version of Mega Block. I'll try updating it to see if that's the problem and I'll see what happens if I load an earlier version of the home page. If that doesn't work, thanks for your offer - I'll take you on it.
It's just so odd that last week everything was fine and then poof. Maybe there's something to what my 88-year old mother thinks: that when her laptop doesn't work it's because of the updates that occur while she's sleeping. It has nothing to do with the fact that she unplugged the computer.

I take it back - I'm using the Mega Block Vertical, which is different from Mega Block -- I'll try removing it as you suggested, along with other add-ons that are installed but not used.

Your second site is actually a Drupal site instead of C5. Is it possible there's a conflict being generated between the two?
