Hello

If I edit an article in frontend, the whole layout an design is shown. This makes it hard to edit articles.

So I want to remove design. After the Body tag I use


<?php if($task == 'edit') : ?>

<div id="container_main">
<div class="wrapper960">
<?php require("inc/layouts/main.php"); ?>
</div>
</div>

<?php else : ?>

(here follows original template code)

<?php endif; ?>


But it's not working, because variable $task is empty if I edit an article. Shouldn't it hold value "edit" ?
Can you please check this?

Thanks a lot.

Patrick

Hi Patrick

This code appears to no longer function within Joomla. I have created an issue on the Joomla repo to try and get confirmation on this.

It has been mentioned elsewhere on the forum that the following plugin has been used for the purpose with success... https://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension/style-a-design/templating/editor-template/

Great, thanks. Let's see what they have to say :)

Thanks for the link. The Plugin seems to be pretty good!

I did some further testing an noticed PHP variable "edit" is working if editing modules:


<body class="site view-edit no-layout task-edit itemid-212">


But it's not working if editing articles:


<body class="site com_content">
