When the cpanel login form opens to the editor or user panel, the form lays all over the page beneath, making for an unitelligible screen - i need to put a background under the form. But i can't find the k2container....

Hey there,

I'm not sure understand the scenario entirely? Do you have a link where I can see this in play? I think I'm a bit confused about the thread being in the vision category. Let us know.

Cheers,
Jason.

Hey David,

You can ignore the email I sent you earlier. I figured out the details I received.

Anyway, I believe it is the login form that is not legible due to the transparent background?

If so this can be fixed by changing the following image
/templates/vision/images/black_overlay.png

That image lends the transparenct and if you edit the image, it should fix it.

An easier fix would be to edit the following css.

template_css.css on line 211

#panel {
background:url("../images/black_overlay.png") repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
color:#FFFFFF;
display:none;
height:124px;
margin-left:500px;
padding:10px;
position:absolute;
width:400px;
z-index:1000;
}

You can change background:
background: #000; Which should give you a black background and make things more legible.

I could not find any other page matching the problem.
Let me know if this is correct.

Cheers,
Jason.

to the view the problem you actually have to log in. I sent you one via pm, but the problem isn't one of JB's making - the new template I applied introduces a 2-col layout, so you merely have provided the means of discovery.

i have attached a screenshot which should illustrate the problem. if i can find the css container, i can at least stick a background behind it. or if i can find the code in php, i can just turn off the. ect editor piece entirely.

Hey again David,

I cannot see what you have added. I'm on the right page and logging in. I think you've enable front end editing for a particular user but not me.
You should be able to turn this off in the K2 parameters.
Set "Enable frontend editing" to no.

Cheers,
Jason.

I want front end editing - just not on user details. our logger inners are only a small group of appointed content editors so we have no need of signatures, avatars, etc.

I think I found what i'm looking for in the php code - i will comment it out and see what happens. still, i'd rather have found it in a readily accessible css file.

thx.

Hi David,

Here is a thread on the K2 forum about front end editing:

Hope that helps.
