Documentation: YOOtheme Elements

Edit Joomla article Element

(Joomla only)

Adds a frontend edit button for Joomla articles, visible only to users with edit permissions. It gives visitors with the right access a quick link to the article editor from the front end, and can replace YOOtheme's default floating edit button in the bottom right corner. Place it anywhere on the page; it stays hidden for visitors without edit rights.

In the YOOtheme Builder, open the element picker and look for the Joomill Extensions group of elements.
