I am having the same problem as a couple of earlier users in that my default edit icons have all disappeared – as they should, but there are no edit icons showing at all anymore. I get the ‘turn editing on/off’ toggle but no option to edit any content items or modules anywhere save one exception which is the home page content. There is an edit icon on home page – but oddly, not on other menu items that display the exact same content page. Did anyone get anywhere with this problem. I have no modules on the pages showing anything but html.

Hi,

I have a peculiar problem.. I cannot install the component on one of the site. And if I do a manual install [unzip n push all files in /tmp] i get the error: Please enter a package directory

Is there a way I can manually install the entire thing. not sure if there is some issue on my server

Perhaps you should try posting on the Joomla! forums? http://forum.joomla.org/ . I’m not sure what might be causing the problems.

I’m having the exact same problem. I can’t get the article editor to work either! I am using a template created in Artisteer – could this be anything to do with it?

That is a fantastic extension and I’m looking forward to trying it. So let me come from another angle. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong with my front end editor. I had designated the users as frontend publishers, but is there something else I need to do? Since I’ll have to wait to use FEE, do you know of a tutorial or something that will explain how to use my default frontend editor for now? Can you give me a hint?

Also, is there any way to get email notifications when someone responds to my posts here? Thanks.

I see. I tried to disable the rokslideshow and tried another page but don’t see anything. I guess I’ll have to wait since I don’t know enough about 1.5 to try upgrading.

So do you know when J1.6 is to be released? Can you tell me how to set up my front end editor until I’m able to use FEE? Going to check the demo now. Thanks!

Almost all Rocket Theme templates use mootools 1.1 based JavaScript and that’s why many people using rockettheme templates are having problems using FEE. Try opening another page where there is no module like mod_rokslideshow visible…

This problem will be solved once Joomla! 1.6 comes out ( which uses moo1.2 ). There is also discussion on updating J! 1.5 to use moo1.2, http://www.alltogetherasawhole.org/profiles/blogs/should-joomla-15-be-upgraded

Btw, demo is now working. You can go over and try it out!

Sorry, no, I couldn’t figure out how to use the front end editor before I uploaded FEE, but I may have been doing something wrong.

I’m sorry for the double post. I didn’t see it at first so I redid it because I thought it was a problem with my internet.

I’m not sure about Mootools. I use a Rocket Theme template and I have mod_rokslideshow, which is a slideshow type module that RT does. How do I know if I’m using Mootools?

Looks like someone messed up the demo, it isn’t working for me either. I’ll fix the demo and let you know.

Are you using any mootools 1.1 based JavaScript on the main page of your site?That might be a reason why the extension might not be working with your site.

Do you mean that even before you installed FEE, the default front end editing doesn’t work on your site?
