No "edit article" icon...

On my template installation there is no frontend icon to edit an article for logged in users (publisher).

I tried to set another template (protostar) as default for testing and everything works fine...

Hi

Please show me Your site and send me an access so I'll be able to check it myself.

Hi

That's strange. Have You made any changes to /html/com_k2/default/item.php ? In a clean template I can see a code for this icon present. Try add it manually to the file I've mentioned:

Code: Select all

            <?php if(isset($this->item->editLink)): ?>
            <a class="itemEditLink modal" rel="{handler:'iframe',size:{x:990,y:550}}" href="<?php echo $this->item->editLink; ?>"><?php echo JText::_('K2_EDIT_ITEM'); ?></a>
            <?php endif; ?>


Hi,

I am not even using K2 on this site

But if I activate e.g. the "print" icon in the backend, the print icon is visible AND the edit article icon too - but if I do not want to display any of these informations (like author, create date, etc.) the edit article icon does not show up...

Maybe some php "if" clause?

Hi

Sorry. I assumed it's a K2 article. In regular joomla articles this code is responsible for edit link:

Code: Select all

               <?php if ($canEdit) : ?>
                  <?php echo preg_replace('@<img.*?alt="(.*?)".*?\/>@mis', '$1',JHtml::_('icon.edit', $this->item, $params)); ?>
               <?php endif; ?>


it is in /html/com_content/article/default.php

so I believe problem is with:

Code: Select all

<?php if ($canEdit) : ?>


Please try change this part to:

Code: Select all

                  <?php echo preg_replace('@<img.*?alt="(.*?)".*?\/>@mis', '$1',JHtml::_('icon.edit', $this->item, $params)); ?>


This way link will be visible for all users, but it will help us to check if problems is a link itself or a condition. Just check if link appeared and change it back, so I'll come up with a replacement for condition.

Hi,

that did not do the trick.

In line 92:

Code: Select all

      <?php if (
         $params->get('show_create_date') ||
         $params->get('show_publish_date') ||
         $params->get('show_modify_date') || 
         ($params->get('show_parent_category') && $this->item->parent_slug != '1:root') ||
         $params->get('show_print_icon') ||
         $params->get('show_email_icon') ||
         $params->get('show_category') ||
         $params->get('show_hits') ||
         ($params->get('show_author') && !empty($this->item->author))
      ) : ?>

I had to add $canEdit, and it works:

Code: Select all

      <?php if (
         $params->get('show_create_date') ||
         $params->get('show_publish_date') ||
         $params->get('show_modify_date') || 
         ($params->get('show_parent_category') && $this->item->parent_slug != '1:root') ||
         $params->get('show_print_icon') ||
         $params->get('show_email_icon') ||
         $params->get('show_category') ||
         $params->get('show_hits') ||
         ($params->get('show_author') && !empty($this->item->author)) ||
         $canEdit
      ) : ?>

Cheers,

Hi

Great to hear that, but to be honest I'm a little bit confused becuase my code in this file looks a lot different. Are You sure You have posted Your question in the right template section and that it was updated to the latest version ?

mhhh,

I have installed gk_creativity_J!3.zip
and version is 3.9.1

Hi

Ok. I think I know what was wrong. An edit button was meant to be seen next to print or mail. Probably if none of this icons was set to display an edit was not visible as well. Anyway You have fixed it, so nothing to worry about now. I'll let programmers know about this small fix.
