Somehow the editing toolbar vanished and isn't visible anymore. What should I do?
The editing toolbar is built through JavaScript. This means if there is an error in the JavaScript somewhere the script will be aborted and the toolbar won't be visible. To troubleshoot this follow the following steps:
Problem with the browser
Obviously make sure you have JavaScript enabled and are using a recent Browser
Try to force a reload
Sometimes the Browser has a broken script in its own cache
Use Shift-F5, Ctrl-F5, Ctrl-Shift-R or what ever your browser needs to force a reload
Do this in the edit mode (ignoring the warning about repetitive POST data sending)
Restart the computer
Try different Browsers
Try disabling Browser-Addons that might interfere with JavaScript
Problem with DokuWiki
Also make sure to run a recent DokuWiki version
1)
Please be sure that the JS is loaded (through a call to the tpl_metaheaders()
function within your template).
If you upgraded from an earlier version of DokuWiki make sure to have an up-to-date conf/dokuwiki.php
file
always put your changes in the local.php file
Undefined config values are known to break the JavaScript, so this is important! (i.e.: make sure $conf['usedraft']
is defined)
Make sure the file /lib/exe/jquery.php has the proper permissions to be read by your webserver (try to access it from the web)
Try disabling any installed third party plugins, their JavaScript might be broken (i.e.: remove the old jquery plugin)
Try remove your conf/userscript.js if you have any

If you still have problems, check the JavaScript Error console of Firefox and report errors in the
bug tracker
Make sure you have disabled the
compacting option before
If you encounter problems caused by a 3rd party plugin please contact its author and ask him/her to fix it.
