How to enable epi-overlay-item-info?

Vote:
 

Hi,


Is there a way to enable epi-overlay-item-info? It's not so useful for the editor to just see 10 turquoise boxea without any labels.

"...there is no plan to make them visible. You can do it yourself by overridding the CSS."

Ah, thanks. Didn't find that post when I was searching.

Don't like to override/hack stuff like that. Because I guess the css will be overwritten with next update of EPiServer?

You should be able to just add a CSS declaration to your site's styles. There's no need to overwrite EPi's CSS. You'll just need to make sure you properly target it with the declaration, and maybe throw an !important in there to make it work. I haven't tried it yet, but it should be feasible.

And thanks. ;)

That's not possible. The page's CSS is only loaded in the iframe and not in the EPiServer overlay. I have already tried that.

Ah... gotcha... How about a JS script that injects the style on page load of the site?

Quick and dirty using jQuery, but works...

$(function () {
    parent.$('body').append("<style>.Sleek .epi-overlay-item .epi-overlay-item-info { display: block !important; }</style>");
});

Thanks. I'm gonna go with your solution until something better comes along.

It doesn't look like it works on every field... might need some tweaking of the declaration, but you get the general idea... Just inject the style into the parent...

You could probably do another check before you append to make sure you are in Edit Mode...

I think not all overlays actually have a label, that's why.


No problem, I'm just doing this in a preview template for my blocks.
