Hi!
I have several Joomla sites, and this tool looks perfect! I have tried to install it on one of my Beta sites, but can not get it to work. I can see the turn off/on button in the right top corner, but there are no edit buttons / I can not edit any of the modules on the front page. I have enabeled the plugins. Does anyone have any idea why this does not work?

Hi Ankit, I’ve installed this with my Rockettheme template however only the ‘edit menu names’ are working. I cannot seem to view a button to edit my modules in the frontend or drag them around the page.

Are you providing any paid or other support to get this to work? Any help from any other users is greatly appreciated.

Hey, I got the solution and it’s working now, at least for me.

For those using 1.5.23 and can’t find the edit icons for contents editing:

1. FTP to your server
2. Go to plugins/systems/frontendeditor/js
3. Rename mootools-core.js to mootools-core.js.BAK

This will disable this version of mootools since Joomla 1.5.23 have the mootools version 1.2.4.
Loading 2 different version of mootools is not going to help

Cheers!

Hi, Ankit – fantastic extension, works great on standard templates a must have! Any ideas about how to make it function with Artisteer templates?

Hi Ankit,
as I said 18 months ago (in #1 post) this is a special component and should be included in the base install (its that good) – has it been updated and is it ready for 1.6?

Found the answer to modules not being editable. (Or at least for me).
The hack for modules hadn’t been applied during the installation process so manually editing the index.php and adding in the:

etc. Seemed to solve the problem

Hi
Great extension. Generally nice work.
However I can’t get it to edit modules either. Article editing is fine, but modules don’t show the editing icon.
I’m using rhuk_milkyway template.
Thanks

Hello,

I have no change at all on my website after installing the all package and login in front end as admin.

I installed it easily. The hack change the index.php as expected.

There must be a problem in my template (made myself)
