An Opus module can also be edited from the site, without going to the administrator. It is the shortest way to fix a text or change an image while looking at the page.
Opening the large window
- Log in on the site with an account allowed to edit modules.
- Hover over the module: Joomla shows its edit pencil.
- Click: the Edit the Opus module window opens over the page, with the full Opus screen and its tabs: Settings, Layout, CSS, Icons, Advanced.
- Edit, save, then Close: the page reloads with your changes.
It is exactly the same screen as in the administrator: rows, blocks, elements, the What will be output panel, cogs. Nothing is reserved for one or the other.
The window works the same way under Corpus, Cassiopeia and other templates: it borrows nothing from the site's template.
A wide enough screen
The Opus editing screen needs at least 992 pixels of width. On a phone, or a tablet held upright, Opus shows Screen too narrow to edit Opus and invites you to use a computer or a tablet in landscape mode.
If the pencil does not appear
- Check that frontend editing is allowed: System → Global Configuration → Site → Frontend Editing, set to Modules or Modules & Menus.
- Check the account's permissions: it must be allowed to edit this module (the module's Permissions tab, or the modules options).
- The module must be published and shown on the page you are on.
