Bootstraps fixed navbar hides admin bar

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hey guy,
the site I'm building right now makes use of Bootstraps horizontal navbar which is a sticky navigation and fixed top (.navbar-fixed-top). The problem is: it hides my admin navbar so I'm not able to do stuff like pushing the 'Edit' button because it's just not visible.

I found out that something like this might help:

<body <?php if ($c->isEditMode()) { ?> class="editmode" <?php } ?>>

But I didn't get a solution that really worked - any ideas how to solve this?

Try something like this:

<?php
  $u = new user();
  $g = Group::getByName('Administrators');
  if ($u->inGroup($g)||$u->isSuperUser())  {
         echo '<nav class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-default" role="navigation">';
      } else {
        echo ' <nav class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top" role="navigation">';
        }
        ?>


This will switch out the fixed nav bar for a non fixed one when an Administrator is logged in.

Cheers,
Anthony

Hey,
thanks for the answer, sounds like a great idea! Where do I have to place this snippet?!

See this section?

echo '<nav class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-default" role="navigation">';
      } else {
        echo ' <nav class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top" role="navigation">';
        }


That echo's out the standard bootstrap code for the navbar. You'd place this where place your navbar code.
