[4.0] Editing a module on the frontend in the default template issues

[PhilETaylor]

Steps to reproduce the issue

Login to frontend
attempt to edit a module

Expected result

Something looking good.

Actual result

Additional comments

Also note how the edit form gets "lost" in all the business of all the modules... maybe the edit page should hide much of the page ?

[C-Lodder]

Agreed. Should definitely be made easier to find the form. Probably wouldn't be as much of an issue on live/finished sites but with sample data, it's annoying having to scroll down.

• Option 1: Use JS to scroll the user to the form
• Option 2: Hide all modules

If option 2 is prefered, is there some fancy Joomla function for this?

[dgrammatiko]

The frontediting.js is not yet compatible with J4

[C-Lodder]

That could work too. Would mean the user's ettention is focused purely on the form.

Here's the styling part fixed anyway: #15803

@dgrammatiko has frontediting.js been updated yet?

[dgrammatiko]

The status is:

• frontediting.js has been moved to media/legacy with an intention to have it replaced by a custom element

But this issue reported here seems that has already been solved (?):

The proposal for a modal or different UI is something that the @coolcat-creations needs to figure out

@PhilETaylor can you please check if the Issues is solved?
