Edit button messed up
Permalink
I'm suddenly having an issue with the edit button when I "visit page" with Concrete5 (5.6-ish). It basically seems to be covered up by the "dashboard" button (as shown), so I have no way to edit a page.
The only thing that's changed, as far as I can see, is that I'm using a MacBook Air instead of the much higher-resolution Dell laptop I was using before. Perhaps it was rendering OK on a higher res screen so I didn't notice, but I should still fix the problem.
Until I resolve the issue, is there another way to edit a page? Client wants to go through and fix content (today). I can then fix the issue after (site is not live yet).
Thanks

Unfortunately 5.6 is not responsive friendly, you will need to use a device with a bigger screen in order to use the Dashboard functions easily.
I'm just trying it again on a high-resolution screen and it's still not working, so something else caused it problems, but I have no idea what. I haven't touched the code since the last time I looked.
Again, is there any other way I can access the edit function apart from on the page? It seems the edit/dashboard buttons have just merged into one.

I have seen this many times and what is happening is that the Dashboard button is wrapping down from the very right to the left over the edit button. The only real way to "fix" this would be to hide the search or something else in the edit bar to get the Dashboard button back up where it belongs.
How can I do this?
Put some CSS like this in your theme
Get rid of the intelligent search:
OR
Force the system nav (intelligent search, dashboard button, logout button) below the other
Get rid of the intelligent search:
.ccm-page-controls-wrapper .ccm-nav-intelligent-search-wrapper{ display: none; }
OR
Force the system nav (intelligent search, dashboard button, logout button) below the other
#ccm-system-nav{ top: 50px; }
Sorry to apparently be very slow, but in which files would I add these CSS lines? Not a very advanced user here.
Whatever the main CSS file is for your theme. You didn't provide a URL for your site so we can't know which file that is.

I tried putting these lines into my main stylesheet (style.css) as well as ccm.base.css, and the situation didn't change. These files are located in /themes/my-theme/css
For more info, I made a custom theme, and I haven't tried to modify the built-in Concrete5 "back-end" templates in any way, because it's basically me that will be using the back-end and updating the site.
update: it seems to be a coincidence that it stopped working when I changed machines)
update2: I reverted to my previous theme and the problem is not there, so this is apparently something I broke somehow :(
Update 3 (RESOLVED) Found the answer after some trial and error, it was a UL line in my main stylesheet with a "width: 100%" statement that seemed to mess things up. Thanks for the help.
