AW: +++SPAM+++ Re: [opencms-dev] ver 6.0. -- Direct edit button onhtml pages.

Hi list,

we had the same issue. I found out, when you place your editable area right
after the <body>-Tag everything works fine. It has something to do with the
absolute positioning of the css class "ocms_de_bt".

I found a workaround for that issue, which is not a 100% solution.

This is what I did:
1. I comment out the following lines in
/system/workplace/editors/direct_edit.jsp
...
div.ocms_de_bt {
	visibility: hidden;
	position: absolute;
	z-index: 100;
}
...

2. I copied the css definition from above, inserted it into my templates css
file and modified it as follows
...
div.ocms_de_bt {
	visibility: hidden;
	position: absolute;
	margin-left: -210px;
	margin-top: -93px;
	z-index: 100;
}
...
I added margin-left and margin-top attributes to the definition. The values
equal the distance from the left/top corner of the browser window to the
beginning of the editable element.

I had to copy the css definition to my template's css file. I do not exactly
know why, but I guess the css style has to be defined before the
<body>-tag.

Unfortunately this solution is not 100% firefox compatible.

If someone finds a real solution for this problem I would be very
interested.

onhtml pages.

I am having the same issues - we have a xhtml transitional layout - with 3
direct edit areas.  The direct edit buttons show about 100 pixels to the
right of the editable content areas.

Does anyone have any ideas?  Everything worked fine in RC1.

pages.

Hi Alexander,

never noticed this behaviour myself, but I had other issues with those
buttons. You can't iterate xml-content over <tr> for example, since
editable=true wraps a <div> element around each, effectively breaking
the table. You can't help this I guess, at least not without changing
the java code that generates the html for editable elements.

In your case, I'd advise to check out the generated html source, maybe
the surrounding <div> breaks something in your page, too.

Good luck
Wolfgang
