Toolbar not showing up on homepage with pretty url's (5.3.3.1)
Permalink
Hi, I've seen a few random issues in the forums about disappearing toolbars. My specific situation seems slightly different than what I've found though... (I'm on version 5.3.3.1, BTW)
When I'm logged in, I see the toolbar on all pages EXCEPT the home page without index.php at the end of the url -- so if I go tohttp://mysite.com/index.php, it shows the toolbar. But if I go tohttp://mysite.com/, it does not show the toolbar.
Here's my situation: I installed a site on a server in a subdirectory of an existing site (for testing/review purposes). I had pretty url's turned OFF at that point. Now I am moving it up to the top-level directory of the site because it's ready to go live, and I've changed the DIR_REL setting in config/site.php to an empty string, and I've cleared the cache, and I've deleted all files in the files/cache and files/cache_object directories, and I've turned on pretty url's in the dashboard and created the .htaccess file, and I've restarted apache, and I've cleared my browser cache. I've also tried with both the URL_REWRITING_ALL option set to true and to false.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Try using firebug or some other debugging tool to see if your getting 404 errors on any of the javascript/css files that that page is referencing.
Thanks for the response Ryan -- that's an excellent idea (not sure why I didn't think of it), but unfortunately it doesn't help my current situation -- all resources (css/js/images) are being loaded. Looking at the page source, I see that the toolbar html isn't even being outputted onto the page by C5.
UPDATE: Okay, this is so weird, but when I open up the page in a different browser, it DOES show the toolbar as it should. But in the browser I first looked at the site with, it is still not showing (after many cache clearings and restartings as well). As long as this won't be an issue for my client then I'm okay with it.
Thanks for the help.

Wow, missed the 1 year anniversary of the last post :) So... running into this same exact problem (my first c5 site BTW) and this is the exact behavior I'm experiencing,
Did you ever find out what the issue was with your first browser? Is it a session thing?

No clue, sorry. I can't even remember what site this was for, but if the client hasn't complained in over a year I'm guessing the problem disappeared at some point.
Wish I had a better answer for you :(

perfect, that is a good answer, just thought I'd ask since it felt like deja vu reading your last post
I am having this issue as well.
No in context toolbar on any page. I can get to the dash board by typing the url. Last thing I changes was to add the site name to the admin scrapbook. That was a few days ago. All was fine then.
Toolbar is not on the home page. On the other pages there is the padding for the toolbar but no toolbar?
Help appreciated.

Do you use Firebug plug in for Firefox? If so, check the console in Firebug to see what javascript errors are showing up.
In my case, the home page was the only page affected. After I restarted my browser session the problem went away and it hasn't happened since. Try clearing your sites cache, clear your browser cache and see if that fixes it.
Hope you get it working.

Clearing the cache worked a treat.
