Hello,

Joomla Frontend editing has been a great new feature in recent Joomla versions.

I however want to be able to make the Frontend Module Edit Icon ALWAYS VISIBLE.

Can someone explain how to make the frontend module edit icon always show?

I would also like to be able to change the icon to a different icon. Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks,

Hi there
If you login with permissioned account you’ll able edit module by hover on edit icon.

Thank you,

Hello,

Thanks for taking the time to reply, but please read what I have asked……I am very aware of what you said….I want to make the icon ALWAYS SHOW once logged in, not only on hover…

HI there
In this case you’ll need check into layout file and modify it as your needed. Mostly it’s Joomla layouts .

Thank you,

Again, very obvious…HOW is the question…..and where?

Take a look yourself, its not as simple as you might think…..

I THINK after already looking in the php layout files, it may be hidden by javascript…but i am not sure, as i am not a php expert or javascript expert

Hi there
By use search string you can locate this layout file

layoutsjoomlaeditfrontediting_modules.php
It’s using combined with tooltip.
In this case instead of tooltip you can draw fixed html here.

Thank you,

My understanding is the ‘tooltip’ is separate to the hover icon….The ‘tooltip’ only shows once you have hovered your mouse over the icon, thus the ‘tooltip’ is a product of the hover edit icon???

Hi there
“tooltip” here is whole of content when you hover on module.
In this case, instead render html for tooltip usage, you can return html for module with fixed edit icon.

Thank you,

Hi there
Or you can keep tooltip but change the way it’s triggered

http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#tooltips

Thank you,

Ive got no clue about what to edit in that file, but also since we are on the JoomlArt website, the actual location for this file is here:

plugins/system/t3/base-bs3/html/layouts/joomla/edit

Can anyone tell me what to do to achieve what I am trying to do….I would assume there would be many others why want to achieve the same result?
