Top Bar Completely Blank
Permalink 2 users found helpful
For some reason the top bar (not sure what it is really called) i scompletely blank. The Edit, Dashboard, Intelligent Search, and Sign Out buttons are not there! This only happens on the home page of the site. Sounds to me like something might have been messed up with the instillation? Any ideas?
I did add some CSS, would that really cause the problem? Is there a way to open the homepage in edit mode without having to use the bar? Any ideas?
You need the edit bar.
It could be that the jquery library is loaded twice (once by concrete5 and once by something else on the page, usually a custom theme or block).
It could also be that footer_required call is missing from the theme (that is what loads the edit bar).

I was using jquery with the tablesorter addon. Could that cause it? Also, the log of versions doesn't seem to go back far enough to include versions older than about 2 days ago. This doesn't make much sense to me.
If you are loading the jquery library for that, then yes, that's the likely cause.
As for the page versions, do you have a scheduled job that's clearing them out? Otherwise they should be there.

I don't think I have any scheduled jobs clearing them. Are you saying that the tablesorter addon most likely caused the problem? It is very important that I have that functionality.
Yes. Looks like someone else had the same problem here:

I suspect this add-on was never updated to work with version 5.5+. You could send a message to the developer and ask:
http://www.concrete5.org/profile/-/1229/...
It looks like there are a few other add-ons that do this, but they come with more functionality than just sorting and cost $15-25. If you search for "table" or "sort" in the marketplace, you'll find them.

Ok I sent him a message. I am not too keen on spending that much on a add-on. I might end up trying to get the tablesorter to work from the JS from here:http://tablesorter.com/docs/#Demo...
He said that right now he is not developing for C5 due to some other projects.
Turns out that the only solution was to remove tablesort for the time being.
I've had the same issue when I tried to use it with HTML5 Boiletplate.
The issue for me at least was the 'footer_required' I had to position it before any other scripts in the footer and *poof* top bar was no longer blank for me :)

Thank you for this solution! Moving the footer_required code above the scripts made the edit bar finally appear!
