Can't See Composer Fields
Permalink
Hi, I'm trying to edit a page in composer and I can't see the fields. All I see is "save and publish." (See attached screenshot.)
Oh, I can edit the composer fields through the dashboard sitemap -> attributes dialogue, but that is a pain.
what's the name of the pagetype you are using?
If you go to that pagetype in the pagetype list under pages and tthemes and click on 'Edit Form' do you have fields set up on the compose form?

The name of the page type is Episode and yes, it's set up with attributes under dashboard > page types > edit form
If I add a page through the dashboard > site map I can see and add info to the fields. When I try to go to composer through the quick add button on the toolbar or through navigating to the page while signed in - there is nothing there.
curious - I just tried to recreate on a site I'm working on on 5.7.4.2 that has a bunch of custom attributes and some other fields linked to composer - unable to recreate.
one thing I do notice us the composer form gets built later than the other parts of the page.
If you look in your browser console are there any errors?

I already looked figuring it may be a JavaScript conflict but didn't see
anything.

you haven't removed an attribute via the page attributes page which is required on the composer form (clutching at straws here)?
No. I haven't removed any attributes. Thanks for trying.
I think composer just doesn't like me, because this is the third bug on the third site I've run into.
I did look at it in the console- but no errors that look like an issue. There is only one error and it says something is turned off because it hurts the user experience- that's a new one to me. When I get back to the office later I'll put the exact error text in here.

This is the only error I'm getting in the console:
Synchronous XMLHttpRequest on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to the end user's experience. For more help, checkhttp://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/.
Here are some screenshots showing it working in the dashboard and showing the "edit form" under the page type.
Also attached is a page where everything on it was added via composer on the dashboard:

Looking at your screenshot, I'd suggest that there is something wrong with your theme, as opposed it being a composer bug.
The reason I suggest this is that when the sidebars slide in on a correctly built 5.7 theme, the actual site is supposed to slide sideways with them.
In your screenshot, the sidebar appears to be slider _over_ the top of the page. This can happen when the theme doesn't have the correct wrapping div/class, and I'd suspect relates to why the composer form overlay isn't displaying (it's got a blue background).
So I'd investigate this side of things. In your theme's here there needs to be something along the lines of:
(and then the corresponding closing div tag before the close of body)

That fixed it. Thanks so much for that. Sometimes it's the simplest things that give you the most trouble.
Thanks a lot! Your my hero!
Had the same problem here and was desperate.
That simple line of code changed everything!!!

Thanks again and greetings from germany
