How to hide elements from the site layout on the edit page?!

[Stefan Ernst]

I would like to add elements to the site layout (the section above the global layout so I need to edit the main.vmd) and hide them on the edit page layout (otherwise they would overlap the editor window)

How can I do that? Checking for edit mode in main.vmd doesn't seem to work like in page.vmd

many thanks!

How about to di this on the client side?

something like:

AJS.toInit(function(){
	if ( AJS.$("#main").is("#editpageform") ){
	       AJS.$("YOUR-ELEMENT-ID").hide();
	}
}

With this you check if your are on the edit-mode (The Main-Id contains the EditPageForm-Id). If true your Element will be hidden.

I hope I could help

Hi

i did something like this using a velocity processed mesage customfield

https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/114724/how-to-modify-this-code-to-add-restrictions-to-a-projectrole

you could install Jira Toolkit Plugin to get this type of custom fields...

in your case you should create a new

Message Custom Field (for edit)

A custom field whose default value will be displayed as HTML an 'Edit' screen.

then add some jscript code as default value to it and you should be done
