Unable to edit my Areas (H/F loaded, no JS errors, z-index?)

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi Folks,
maybe anyone of you is able to help me with getting my areas editable.

When I changed the Theme to my own, editing disapeared so I started searching and came across problems with header or footer not loaded (but it is) and JS errors (none here) and read that the z-index could cause the problem.

So I checked back on my code and saw two z-index attributes being on 10 and 25 or something. When I read it could be, that editing controls are on a z-index of 5 I took down my values to 0 and 1 but I still see no editing controls?

The code of my template is quite easy:
<?php
// Include the header
$this->inc('elements/header.php');
?>
<!-- Content area wrapper -->
<div id="content" class="inner">
   <div id="content_inner_wrapper">
      <div id="content_inner">
         <?php
            BeginContainer("content_slim white_100 padding_11");
               BeginContainer("content_inner_full white_100 padding_6_4");
                  // Content area
                  $content = new Area('Content');
                  $content->display($c);
               EndContainer();

It definately isn't the template itself right?

Thanks & greetings from Germany

I know tried to remove anything that could be overlaying but it doesn't seem to work.

Maybe I could go the other way around and force the C5-Controls to Z-Index 1000 to be definatly secure that it's not hidden by something?

Are the controls inside of div#ccm-page-controls-wrapper ?

Dear SlapY,

i have the same problem too.
but i try to disable my javascript at the header or footer element, and the problem solve.

maybe C5 expert can give more correct answer to put your own javascript to C5.

I hope this works...

regards,
Steven

When I add the OP's code to a Page Type, I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function begincontainer()


The core doesn't have such a function, to my knowledge.

Also, you don't need to use a different variable each time a new area is created. Sooner or later you will end up using a variable that's already in use.

Dangerous...

$content = new Area('Content');
$content->display($c);


C5 convention...

$a = new Area('Content');
$a->display($c);


$a = new Area('whatever') can be used for every area.
