We have a working instance of Kennethware up on our beta site but for some reason when editing the right sidebar button to open the design tools does not appear. We did not change the setting to restrict these by role or user (they remain false). Has anyone had similar issues?
Solved! Go to Solution.
As a follow-up in case anyone happens upon this later:
Kenneth and I sat down and tried to figure things out and could not. He did help me find some related errors and missing files but the same error persisted.
I kept pressing on and eventually found out that I could get the button to show up in Safari. For whatever reason on my Mac in Chrome, Opera, and Firefox the design tools button was being blocked.
Thanks so much to Kenneth Larsen for his help.
@lucas_ames , I'm tagging @kenneth_larsen on this to see if he's got any suggestions for what might be going on and how to fix it.
@lucas_ames ,
A couple of questions:
Something else to check:
Let me know and we can move on from there.
Thank you for your help!
1) tried on both UIs
2) all users it seems, tried with a few and varied the roles
3) yes, aws

It looks like the scripts are loaded fine and without error (tools variables, addl customizations, triggercheck and mastercontols all loaded). I am getting a handful of 404s on URLS like this one, however, that do not show up for some users.
I can keep trying to come up with options, but do you have time in the next couple of days to jump into an Adobe Connect room with me so I can see what is going on?
Absolutely. I'll touch base.

Oddly enough, using the same hosted code on my Mac, everything worked just fine in Chrome and Firefox (didn't try Opera).
