Blog about concrete5 cms

Anyone who regularly works with concrete5 themes could face with the following issue:

If you sign in as admin, the concrete5 editing toolbar appears at the top of all pages. This sometimes can cause a problem making body background not align properly with some other images on the page if it was designed as a single picture. There is a workaround I’m going to tell you about.

Use this condition in concrete5 theme php files:

<?php
global $cp;
if (is_object($cp) && ($cp->canWrite() || $cp->canAddSubContent() || $cp->canAdminPage())) {
	echo ' style="background-position: 0 50px;"';
}
?>

The above example shows how you can add ‘ style="background-position: 0 50px;"’ when the editing toolbar is being displayed. You can use it to add style to body. ‘background-position: 0 50px’ will make the background shift 50 pixels lower from the top of the window. You can use this to append some extra class or style attribute to any element that gets corrupt when admin is signed in.
