Editor Bar Missing on 5.5.0 upgrade - HELP? - SOLVED

Permalink
Just upgraded to 5.5.0 from 5.4.2.2.

Everything seems to be working fine, EXCEPT, the top "editor" bar does not display when viewing site pages, while logged in as either an editor or the super admin. (screenshot 1)

If I manually enter the /dashboard/ to the URL, then it takes me to the dashboard, where the editor bar DOES display. (screenshot 2)

Go figure.

I have tried: Disable & clear cache, disable pretty URL's, tried clearing browser cache. No luck with any.

Anyone solve this??

Thanks!

:)

Be sure you include the following code in the footer of your site:

<?php  Loader::element('footer_required'); ?>


This is what generates the edit bar in 5.5

OK, so that KINDA worked... Thanks... but...

I didn't have that in the footer of my theme, so I put it in.

Now my edit bar appears, but it overlay's the content of the site, instead of bumping down an inch.

Thanks again.

That was bothering me too, try this:

Extract and upload the attached file to:
"SITE_ROOT/elements"

It's the same 'header_required.php' file but I added a margin to the bottom, so it won't get on your way...

Is this documented anywhere?

Great to see that it is picking up on best practice etc with loading js at the end of the page but it's a shame that this forum thread is how I found out about it.

Loading "footer_required" was always necessary in themes and documented (before 5.5 the custom analytics code was loaded there) but if you forgot there was no visible error message or another indicator for that.

Doh! I stand corrected and have shown my lack of discipline.

Thanks for the quick reply.
