Edit dialog boxes hidden under content
Permalink
I have a page that uses an iframe to display flash content. The problem is that when I try to edit the page, the flash movie stays on top of the dialog boxes that pop down from the edit menu. Because of this, I cannot exit edit mode because I cannot see the dialog box for saving or discarding changes. I tried to use the flash movie block, but I need to send a number of parameters to the movie and that is not supported in that block. Any suggestions? Is there a z-index I can change in the css somewhere that will take care of this?
Is there a possibility to disable content in edit mode if I embed an object in a content or html block?
Slightly late reply but for anyone else looking to disable content in edit mode you can simply wrap the content as below:
<?php global $c; if (!$c->isEditMode()) { ?>
... content ...
<?php } ?>
<?php global $c; if (!$c->isEditMode()) { ?>
... content ...
<?php } ?>
example:
<object ...>
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
...
<embed wmode="opaque" ... />
</object>
Note: only use 'transparent' if you want your flash to "overlay" html elements behind it. Use 'opaque' in all other cases (runs faster).
