I just set up a new N2 site by starting with
the MVC 2 Web Application template in Visual Studio, then following
the directions in N2 CMS Developer Documentation in
the section Integrating with Existing ASP.NET MVC Application. I have
the basic site running now, but with one problem:
the sliding curtain widget that holds
the administrative
controls is not visible in
the upper right corner (when logged in, of course).
I can make it visible
the hard way by using Firebug to locate it in
the DOM, and then disabling a couple of
the CSS positioning elements. Once I do that, it seems to work normally. After I open it that way, I can click
the various
controls, or close it up (and I see
the animation). But then it's off screen again.
My master page has
the sliding curtain just inside
the <body> tag:
<body>
<n2:SlidingCurtain runat="server">
<n2:ControlPanel runat="server" />
</n2:SlidingCurtain>
...
The site.css file generated in
the base MVC site doesn't seem to do any positioning that would affect this.
Firebug shows that right after by <body> tag, I have this:
<div class="sc" id="SC" style="top: -2px; left: -574px;"><div class="scContent">
....
The style for <div class="sc" ...> is
element.style {
left:-574px;
top:-2px;
}
.sc {
background:#FFFFFF none repeat-x scroll 0 0;
border-color:#CCCCBB;
border-style:none solid solid none;
border-width:1px;
left:-200px;
position:fixed;
top:-200px;
z-index:990;
}
If I disable both top: and both left: rules,
the widget appears.
