Have a look at your template and make sure you have the following code in the end (before /body)



Hopefully that will solve your problem.

Thank you for the reply,

I checked that and it is there in the correct place. Any other suggestions?

Hello Scott,

I had same issue. I overcame it by going doing this
enter:
Dashboard >
Systems & Settings>
Interface Settings>
select: Disable Quick Navigation bar -
that sorted it for me...
Good luck.
Michael

i lied....:-)
I just went back and the issue has not gone...I'll come back if I figure it out...

Hi, do you have elements on your site with a very high z-index? it may be they are covering up the TinyMCE editor when it appears.

Thank you Vidall - in the end it became clear to me that it was only happening on product pages and was some kind of js conflict (core_commerce) and was resolved by updating the plugin to latest (2.5)
Thanks again for bringing my attention to z-index.

I have checked my theme's css and the only z-index values are low ones, like 10 or so. Does anyone know where I can find what the z-index values are for concrete's gui elements?

Another note, I have several javascript files included in my header. I have tried to simply note include any of the files, when I do this it creates another problem - I am no longer able to see any of the elements in the header bar. The white bar is there, but there are no buttons on it. Including my javascript files fixes this - but I'm still having the issue of not being able to see the pop-up menu's while in edit mode.

Hi Scott - are you using ecommerce? or other add-ons?

No I am not using ecommerce or any other addons like that. Just some basic blocks like Vimeo and Powerslider Lite.

I am starting to think it may be a javascript conflict somewhere. My theme is one that I purchased from themeforest.net, and I adjusted it to work with Concrete5. It came with a lot of javascript files, some of which I have stripped out. One in particular seems to be causing issues - jquery.cycle.all.latest.js. It is a slideshow thing that came with the theme that I no longer use. For some reason, if I leave this file out then I am no longer able to see any buttons on the edit bar.

Still not sure what the problem is with the pop-out menus. I'll keep chucking away at it till I find something. Thanks for all the help so far.

Update: I figured out the top edit bar problem. Apparently Power Slider Lite is not compatible with 5.5. And it was causing issues.

Still having the issue with the pop-out menu not showing up.

Both issues solved.

The issue with Power Slider Lite was because of my misunderstanding of the way Concrete works. I had created a copy of the block in the /blocks folder (because I didn't want to use templates) and I assumed that anything I didn't put in the new folder would be taken out of the original package folder, which apparently is not entirely true. Once I placed the js file in the new folder it worked perfectly.

The pop-out menu was a little more tricky. I ended up comparing my site with a working concrete site using Google Chrome's "Inspect Element" option, which is very handy. I found that the inner div of the pop-out menu has the css class name "content", which is obviously not a very unique name. I ended up having a div.content class in my theme's stylesheet that had display:none set.

I assumed that concrete's core styles would take precedence over any of a theme's, but I guess that's not the case. It would be nice if there was a list of reserved class names so this kind of thing can be better avoided. Also it would be nice if the core elements used a little more unique class names.

I have the same problem. I have a content div for the jquery slideshow that is set to display:none. What did you end up doing to correct that?

You can either change the class name of that div, or use a wrapping div to
separate your theme from core concrete styles. Then in your stylesheet you
would need to put the id of that wrapping div in front of everything.
