Awesome man!

It would be great to combine my front end editor plugin into this
I do suppose they can probably work independent of each other.

Are you going to offer some sort of api so plugins can add to it?

Yes, but definitely not on initial release.

But, it would be real easy to bind something else to the menu to launch a custom editor instead of opening the pages editor when I do.

OOPS do not download yet, It looks like paths are broken, fixing now.

EDIT:
Ok its fixed now, version 0.1.1

ugh another bug i just found.
go figure, signature is missing if debug mode is off.
Fixing...

EDIT:
Fixed v0.1.2

Just a quick note to people working on their template and not having the get_footer() hook in there (yet): it needs to be there for the admin bar to appear.

Nice work, Shawn. I was just getting used to the WP admin bar so this comes in handy.

Thanks, Yes, all detail of getting themes and plugin to work with it are on my website.

Hey, works and looks great, good work..again...

CSS is a little bit off, but uncommenting display:inline; in the sa_admin CSS file fixes everything for me....

Can you explain a bit ? and what theme ?

oh and you can use github to post issues if you want.

Theme is for the matrix page , without 'display' set i get a menu like so...

[img=sa_adminmenu]http://www.digimute.com/wikiimages/sa_adminmenu.png[/img]

When I set it all is OK.

Thanks, looks like i have some more styles to reset. Normally theme footers arent output inside an element or block element.

I see some border radius and display issues on lists in that screenie.

Anyone using this ?

I'd like to make some style changes to fix the style issues mentioned and see if they break anything.

Also I will take feature suggestions before I start adding in hooks and icon modules if anyone is interested.

Things that probably will happen in a few versions.

Persistant front end bar ( set cookie based when logged out, with login capability )

Add back end bar, why not, I am spoiled by it now.

Icon widgets, first will be a plugin updates thingy. And maybe some kind of comments one that will have to work with various commenting systems. Failed logins, etc. These might be simply supported by hooks to let plugin do them their selves.

Some fixes for the targets of links, i thought opening them all in the same named tab would be kewl, but then I realized I am always opening 8 different things and they are opening in windows I am using.

UPDATE

Version 0.1.5

Active on front and back ends
fix for hovers popping up on load, chrome bug
fix for "debug_mode" i18n text
changed targets to new on front , self on back
remove pill bar on backend
added to css reset - display overrides ,list types , border radius
moved some links around to better match sidemenu orders.
changed link targets , frontend = open in new window, backend = open in same window
added some pure css icons, experimental
rudimentry hook and custom menu support, see my webpage

You can modify the menu now through a hook.
I even included an example on my website to change the edit button to a new url or even javascript call.

So I imagine you can make your front end editor work with it.

cool plugins, it works great!

UPDATE

Version 0.1.6
Added persistant front end login, set by cookie on a successful login, with a button to remove bar and cookie.

Version 0.1.6.1
oops fix, bad path for login, bad colors for inputs.

Most promising !!! good work

Oops I think I set the front end login toolbar cookie to expire in 1 day.

will try to get that fixed.

I just installed this today and had an issue with the styling. I had to copy the css stylesheet into my theme directory and put <link rel=..... into my template to get it to work.

Is this necessary? If yes we need some instructions that specify this. If no, then why didn't work for me.

It is installed at this http://www.trugrindtools.com

What problem were you having?
What theme are you using?

The issue is that the SA Menu bar was not being styled at all. The links were showing up as a default list would down the page. I add a <link> to the css included in the plugin directory and that fixed the issue. The question is whether I should have had to add the link to the template file?

I added another template to my site, one with the css link and one with out. I pm'd you a user and password combo. The theme that I am using is from a default that I have modded to work with GS. It contains barebones code to work with GS, so that may be the issue.

Does your theme call get_header() and get_footer() ?

<~~~Dumbass

No it did not. I added get_header() to the theme and it works. I knew I was something I did (or didn't do in this case). Thanks.

UPDATE
0.1.6.3
Main menu now editable via hook and global

Fix for cookie timeout
Some more style resets

How did I miss this plugin?

Great work!
