Joomla Frontend Editor hides under template or objects – SOLUTION

Posted by jarod on Jan 13, 2011 in Web Notes | 0 comments

Problem:  Your frontend editor in Joomla breaks the template or objects on your site when opened.  Annoying indeed!

Solution: Amazing code

• <?php if ((@$_REQUEST["task"] == “edit”) || (@$_REQUEST["task"] == “new”)) { ?> – basically IF the editor is opened then…
• <style type=”text/css”>
  .site_container2 {display:none;}
  .site_container6 {width:100%;}
  .site_container {height:100%;}
  .copyright {display:none;}
  This CSS is used (this code is used when editor is opened)
• <?php } ?> – Close

<?php if ((@$_REQUEST["task"] == "edit") || (@$_REQUEST["task"] == "new")) { ?>
<style type="text/css">
.site_container2 {display:none;}
.site_container6 {width:100%;}
.site_container {height:100%;}
.copyright {display:none;}
</style>
<?php } ?>

Can’t take the credit here except it was buried and I found it
