Cant edit a specific block, but the rest work fine.

Permalink
Hello,

Here is my problem:

I am currently doing a rebuild for a client as they wanted to upgrade their concrete5 from 5.3.3 to 5.4.0.5. This was successful and everything went great and I love the new features.

However when I was transferring the content from the live site to the new rebuild hosted locally on my Xampp server, I ran into an issue with the main homepage content block.
This block is the only block on the entire website that is not editable. When i try to click it the cursor doesn't change to a pointer and there is no clicking sensation.

I know this can be caused by jquery conflicting, does anyone know of anything else that may cause this? eg: css, content inside the block

Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions.

Cheers

I have a feeling it may be caused by my css for the container div of the block that is not working.

It is surely a problem with your theme.
Try changing one page to the yoghurt theme and look if it works.

Otherwise check if you have this code in your themes header.php:
<?php Loader::element('header_required'); ?>


You are following bad practice... I'm not against windows or microsoft products. But you really really should NOT use Windows for development!

I will explain why you did all the work for for nothing. In Windows MySQL is not case-sensitive (ci), but in your online linux/unix box it WILL be case-sensitive. That's why uploading the site won't work.

Wether you use a Virtual Machine with ssh/sftp and the lampp stack to work or you use a Mac or real Linux.

Hey thanks for your reply,

heres the code in the header:

<?php
defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die(_("Access
Denied."));
Loader::element('header_required'); ?>

Is there something wrong with this code?

I was not aware that Windows could cause these types of problems.

I do intend to get myself a MacBook Pro, however I have not saved enough for one yet so I will look into a Linux solution for now.

Thanks

I have found the solution to this problem:

The CSS setting that was causing this block to not be editable was this:

#homeContentWrap{z-index:10;}

I am not sure why I put in the z-index setting in the first place. However when this setting was removed, the editing on the specific block returned to normal.

Thanks for the help and suggestions.
