Solved How to modify the EDIT button in My Profile

The colour of the Kunena profile edit link should not be different for administrators compared with other users. The colour of the Kunena profile edit link is dependent on CSS. CSS loads independently of whether you are logged-in as an administrator or as a non-privileged registered user.

Perhaps the difference is due to using a different web browser or accessing your site from a different PC? Perhaps the difference is that the browser you were using in these different cases has a different cached version of the CSS? Perhaps forcing the browser to load a new version of the CSS files will resolve the problem. Have you tried clearing and reloading your browser cache?

I have 3 different Admins and 3 different Registered users that I can test login, and in any combination, and on any PC (I use a laptop to double check) and every time I come in as an Admin its RED and as Registered its green, even one after the other. Using F5 just refreshes the screen but changes nothing. If there is no correlation as I'm suggesting then why the precise colour change exactly as to user type.?

I understand what you are saying but I can only report what I see and how I do it.

Several members have confirmed that they all see the blue/green EDIT, not the red. One tested it on his Mac. They are located throughout the world.

I've also found that changing the colour code kheadbtn a{color:#fff; (in the css file does not appear to change the button. I cannot even guess as to why.

Can you suggest what else I might check?

This is the path to the template I checked

public_html/shipshaperc/components/com_kunena/template/blue_eagle/css/kunena.forum-min.css

As I am sure you would know, the only way that any of us can check (or double-check) what you have done, is to have access to two accounts: (a) an administrator account and (b) an ordinary registered user's account. Furthermore, we need to spend time doing this checking work.

Does this really matter? Maybe you are loading different site templates based on who is logging in? I don't know; the possibilities are enormous. The only point that I want to make is simply this:

If you want to change any colours [to the Kunena template (obviously)] and make them stick and hold fast, then change the colours by adding extra rules to the end of your Joomla site template CSS file. IF you start messing around with ../components/com_kunena/template/blue_eagle/css/kunena.forum-min.css then, in my opinion, I think you are making an error of judgement. Yes, you can change ../components/com_kunena/template/blue_eagle/css/kunena.forum-min.css and yes, it is possible for things to still work after making those changes but the more likely outcome is that you will break things apart.

Therefore, in conclusion, the only sure way that we can get to the bottom of this mystery is to view the site in exactly the same way as other users of your community view the site. In order to do that we would need access to accounts on yours site that permit us to see the "Edit" link. Last, but not least, we need to make time to do this when it's convenient.

We do not have this issue here at www.kunena.org .

Thank you

I can assure you I don't change anything without backing up the file first, and so far only as directed in this topic. . Before I do anything outside of Control Panel I back up the site. The site uses just the default template, I wouldn't know where to get any others, nor have any need to.
There are only 2 levels of forum access, Admin and Registered. Control over what is viewable is purely the options for categories in Control Panel. Both see all categories, Guests see about 60%.

Is it worth it? Probably not since it is only a minor nuisance and can be covered by a mention in FAQ which all new members are directed to.

I'd be happy to supply the two logins you need but as you say, it's all time and you no doubt have better things to do with your time since it is of a very minor nature..

I just thought it was worth mentioning.

Which file are we talking about? Your Joomla site template CSS file or the file ../components/com_kunena/template/blue_eagle/css/kunena.forum-min.css? :S

The latter.

However, I've just played around with the parameters for the Kunena Blue Eagle template from within the backend and found a compromise that at least makes the EDIT button noticeable.

It will serve.

Thanks for your assistance.
