How do I get my View\Edit tabs back in Drupal 6?

Question

I somehow got rid of them and don't remember how. When I'm navigating my site while logged in as admin I want the view\edit buttons to show up above nodes.

Are you using a version control system? :) – Rimian Apr 22 '11 at 10:43 — Rimian, Apr 22 '11 at 10:43

There could be a few reasons. First I would check the page.tpl.php file and look for <?php print $tabs; ?>. If that is not found, or is commented out, your tabs will not be shown.

Also check your CSS files to see if there is anything resembling:

.tabs {
  display: none;
}

I would also look for the use of theme_menu_local_tasks(). For more information see How to hide Edit | View tabs? and http://drupal.org/node/83090

I'd somehow removed the print statement along the way. Thanks. – Joren Apr 25 '11 at 18:40

If you're using advanced admin menu (a contrib module), you may have allowed the option "display menu tabs in top menu" (or something like that) - in which case you'll see View Edit etc. at the top right of the admin menu, and not where you're accustomed to see them.

I once had the edit tab disappear on me. I have no idea how this happened, but somewhere in the css it was defined as visibility: hidden. Check your html to make sure it's not simply being nuked via css; if the tabs are there in the HTML, use firebug to find which css rule is getting rid of them.
