No Top Nav Bar on page edit after 5.5.2.1 upgrade

Permalink
I upgraded using the dashboard but now I have a grey background OK in edit mode... but it is blank, without any buttons.
The site itself seems to be OK - I just can't edit it.
Any help appreciated

There have been a few instances where upgrading using the dashboard download facility has failed due to server time-outs and errors,
To solve this,
Download the 5.5.2.1 package from the downloads section of this site,
Unzip it into your root/updates/ folder, overwriting the existing installation,
Run this file from your web browser:
http://www.yoursite.com/index.php/tools/required/upgrade?force=1...
Replace yoursite.com with your domain name.

Clear the cache...

Thanks, but this did not work in this case. I think my folder structure is wrong/different.

If you go directly using this link
http://www.measurit.co.uk/index.php/dashboard/...
does the same thing happen?

Genius.
That worked on both sites.
As an aside - we just delivered a new set of valves for the Weymouth Outfall

Spoke too soon.
Dashboard works but the page edit function for existing pages is still missing

Now that you can get into the dashboard,
Check the page permissions settings it could be you are being denied access..

Showed full access - reset it but no change.
Outfall is in the open sea - about 19m depth - our diffuser valves will improve the dilution and water quality. I've not visited weymouth yet - but Dorset is rather nice! Been around poole harbour & Dorchester.
i'm out now for a while - thanks again

Thanks for your help.

We host with C5 and the error was:


theme's footer.php was missing this line:

<?php Loader::element('footer_
required'); ?>

thanks again

Hi Mark,
I know this thread is about a year old, but I'm having the same problem. I'd like to know WHERE in the footer.php, you needed to place that line and why you knew that it was missing (I'm rather new to C5)?

Also, was the first advice in this thread important or was it only the footer.php modification that was necessary.
Thanks!

Ok, never mind.

It was the missing:

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


in footer.php (and for us, in default.php, because it uses a different footer than the rest of the pages.) For others who don't know, I put this line right before the closing body tag:

</body>


Thanks!
