no toolbar in 5.5.0

Permalink
Having started a new conversion to C5 theme i decided to load into 5.5.0 and noticed that I had no toolbar when logged in as admin. (using Chrome and Firefox)
Removed any JS from the HEAD tag just in case it was causing any conflict but still no luck.

I checked the 5.5.0 core with a default theme and this works ok so nothing wrong with the core itself or the database.

So I decided to install the same theme into an existing 5.4.2.2 site and the toolbar shows as normal.

When looking at the page source from both instances I notice the following difference

for 5.5.0 
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>c5cloud :: Home</title>
<meta name="description" content="" />
<meta name="generator" content="concrete5 - 5.5.0" />
<script type="text/javascript">
var CCM_DISPATCHER_FILENAME = '/index.php';
var CCM_CID = 1;
var CCM_EDIT_MODE = false;
var CCM_ARRANGE_MODE = false;
var CCM_IMAGE_PATH = "/concrete/images";
var CCM_TOOLS_PATH = "/index.php/tools/required";
var CCM_REL = "";
</script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/concrete/css/ccm.base.css?v=652e6499feddb6ded6de703768b3ca75" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="/concrete/js/jquery.js?v=652e6499feddb6ded6de703768b3ca75"></script>

and for 5.4.2.2.
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>bildpunkt :: Home</title>
<meta name="description" content="" />
<meta name="generator" content="concrete5 - 5.4.2.2" />
<script type="text/javascript">
var CCM_DISPATCHER_FILENAME = '/index.php';
var CCM_CID = 1;
var CCM_EDIT_MODE = false;
var CCM_ARRANGE_MODE = false;
var CCM_IMAGE_PATH = "/concrete/images";
var CCM_TOOLS_PATH = "/index.php/tools/required";
var CCM_REL = "";
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">

Any ideas why the difference. Should we be creating sites any differently for the new c5 version ?

Hi there,

Have you got this in your footer:

<?php    Loader::element('footer_required'); ?>


You could get away with not using it in 5.4, but I believe its necessary in 5.5.

Vidall, yes it seems we need to have a footer so big thanks for that. May I ask where you found the info from as there may be other requirements.

To be honest, I stumbled upon that one myself after having the same problem, but I believe the subject has come up in the forum too.

I havnt found too many differences really, there are a few new tags like the global areas, and of course needing the footer required tag, but all I did was pull the default theme apart in the 5.5 download and it pretty much showed me all I needed to know, its really not ultra different from a 5.4 theme.

Just had a similar problem.

For me, it was caused by a mere javascript warning since I was trying to access an element that didn't exist except upon the homepage.

I'd suggest people check the console!
