Admin "quick button"

I can’t remember what it is called, but it’s a handy button that is (or was) at the top of the forum. When clicked a window would open with links to the backend.

What is this called? How to I enable again… or is it just gone?

I seemed to have it before disabling all SP plugins and debugging last few issues. I thought it was part of the Admin Bar plugin. But no handy button when enabling.

Yes – it should be on the Admin Bar SP plugin. We will need Steve to discuss that – maybe something to do with multi-site keeps it from showing up. He keeps US time for some strange reason! so should be around later.

It works fine for me Lee as you will now be able to see.

Arrrrgh!

I mean Thanks for the response guys! I do have the Admin Bar plugin activated. And later last night confirmed the button I was seeking is within the source code. I’ll try to take a look later to see if I can debug it.

Before the hair pulling begins… is there a simple checkbox…  ummm green button in the options that I might be overlooking that turns the button on?

Actually Conrad, I don’t see it? Is this how you see your page?

Somewhere in the top, I thought there was supposed to be a larger button with the word “Admin” and it had a star in it.

That’s right. Top right on the admin bar plugin. Pretty sure that isn’t an option so need to investigate why you don’t see it. Still wondering if this is a multi-site issue. Need Steve on this one.

Nope I see it, and you are admin so you should.

If all else fails… look for the 100th time. Then you will see “Your Admin Bar Options”

In the admin options tab.

Sorry Guys!

Minor bug that will surely cause an uproar eventually.

If the admin bar is fixed to the top of the screen, it will not be visible if wp-admin bar is on. SP’s admin bar will be underneath it.

Might need a condition for positioning css.

we had intended to strip out the fixed option… but messed it up… now, the plan is to support it, so yeah a ticket is open to fix it…

A quick “proof of concept” to check if wp-admin-bar is showing, and bump the SP admin bar down a notch if fixed.

sp-admin-queue-tag.php

//    if ($spThisUser->sfbarfix) { 
//        $out.= "<div id='spAdminQueueFixed' class='$tagClass'>"; 
//    } else { 
//        $out.= "<div id='spAdminQueue' class='$tagClass'>"; 
//    }

    if ($spThisUser->sfbarfix) {
        if (is_admin_bar_showing()) {
            $wp_adminbar_style = " style='top:30px;'";
            // Or something snazzy that's not inline
        } 
        $out.= "<div id='spAdminQueueFixed' class='$tagClass'" . $wp_adminbar_style . ">"; 
    } else { 
        $out.= "<div id='spAdminQueue' class='$tagClass'>"; 
    }

Seems to work.

Good to see ya Steve!

The issue is logged. We were planning to remove the fixed at top option. Is this something you regularly use?

Meh… I could take it or leave it.

My preference is NOT to have anything fixed and taking up precious screen real estate. Heck, I don’t even like the wp-admin-bar. I just have it on because I thought I should as I was making a WP-theme and it’s on by default for most people. I’ve learned to ignore it.
