Toolset Frontend edit menu

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
Before the Toolset Layouts FrontEnd editor, there was a menu "Edit with Toolset", in the frontend admin bar, that let you navigate directly to all included Toolset items on this page.
This menu is gone when the new layouts plugin Is installed on the site.

Solution:
This is by design.
Custom Code could resolve this in your functions file:

add_filter('toolset_filter_toolset_admin_bar_menu_disable', 'my_layout_menu');
function my_layout_menu(){
    return false;
}

I am unable to reply when the ticket is closed.
It is still a major concern.

I am in no need to make Layouts edit nested views on a page. All I need is to get the old menu back.
Why is it so hard to show both menus on a page? ("Design with Toolset")
It was like this for a while when you introduced Layouts front end editor...

It takes a very long time to sort out a page structure, with nested views, when you don't have that menu any more.

Hi Tina

I don't really have anything to add to Beda's last post on the subject in the previous ticket.

I'm going to re-assign this thread to Beda and you can post a message to him if you have something new to add.

Hello Tina

I also have nothing to add.

1. It is impossible to edit Views in the new front end layouts editor
2. It is not showing properly nested elements

It has not been accepted that we bring back that Menu, we requested it.

I can push for it again, but I cannot promise anything.

Keeping this ticket open will not help to push, but if you wish we can keep it open.

I could mark it as escalated.
But the feature has been clearly rejected, and I fear I will not be able to change that, although I will try again.

OK, I'll close the ticket. But please please push this. (to always show the old menu in combination with layouts menu if applicable) It is such a time saver.) I have no use of editing views in Layouts, the edit window is to small .... That is another feature request.

Tina, instead of waiting, for something that I honestly think we will not "bring back", I think it is easier to use some Custom Filters when you want that Menu to appear.

I am not suggesting to edit the Plugins files, no, but you could simply trick out Toolset and tell it, that you still need the "old" menu, speak.
Luckily we have a filter that allows you to modify this response.

You should be able to see both, the fully working old menu and the new Layouts Edit Button (If a Layout is assigned) when you apply this filter:

add_filter('toolset_filter_toolset_admin_bar_menu_disable', 'my_layout_menu');
function my_layout_menu(){
	return false;
}

Let me know if that works for you 😉
