Can't edit my custom dashboard

[oak dragon]

I can't edit my custom mushroom dashboard, the top bar has disappeared. How do I get this back so I can edit my dashboard?

In my overview it's there but it's not in my custom dashboard.

I saw this yt video a year ago that removed some text from the url to view your custom dashboard without the edit bar but I don't know how to get the edit bar back..

[empty citrus]

are you in a web browser?

[oak dragon]

Yes

[empty citrus]

you can append ?edit=1 to the URL

[oak dragon]

And in the app?

[empty citrus]

dunno

[oak dragon]

Let me try this right now

Omfg it worked

Thank you so much dude @empty citrus

the top bar is still gone but I can add cards/chips @empty citrus

How do I actually get that bar back cause I manually have to add ?edit=0 or ?edit=1 to the url

I don't know what you did to remove it, can't help with that, other than suggest start uninstalling custom plugins.

[oak dragon]

that would be a job to find out what plugin it could be hehe

Anyone else got an idea?

Go through your yt history to find what you did to remove the top bar.

[oak dragon]

It has been over a year ago

I was out of the HA hobby for a while

Started to pick it up

I created a new custom dashboard and that has the edit bar in top

Okay, your yt history goes back that far usually

[oak dragon]

I cant even get the raw file of my old dashboard so I could just copy it and paste it to a new dashboard

[oak dragon]

Trust me I couldn’t figure that out. It was a dashboard video with plugins. Cba tbh

You are asking for people to randomly guess what you might have done a year ago and how to reverse it.

[oak dragon]

Not randomly guess. Maybe it’s a common problem in dashboards or might happend before to someone else?

I’m just asking for help

Not someone to tell me to find my yt history to solve it

[quiet void]

Best of luck

Three common things that can be used to hide the header. Kiosk Mode, browser_mod, and card_mod within a theme.
My guess would be Kiosk Mode as it is the easiest to set up. Edit the dashboard with ?edit=1 appended to the URL. You should have the editor header. Click the three dots in the top right. Select Raw Configuration Editor. Somewhere towards the top, you're looking for kiosk_mode: which will be before the views: section. You probably have hide_header: true.

Did you configure a YAML file for the dashboard or did you use the UI editor? If you used the UI editor, you won't find the raw file. (Not easily at least and even then, IIRC, it will be JSON and not YAML.)
If you configured HA for dual mode, you'll find the settings in the configuration.yaml under lovelace:. It should point you in the right direction to where the file resides. This is mine: ```yaml
lovelace:
mode: storage

Add yaml dashboards

dashboards:
lovelace-yaml:
mode: yaml
title: Mini-PC
icon: mdi:monitor-dashboard
show_in_sidebar: true
filename: dashboards/mini-pc/viewsonic.yaml
fire-10:
mode: yaml
title: Fire 10
icon: mdi:monitor-dashboard
show_in_sidebar: true
filename: dashboards/fire-10/main.yaml
```But, my guess is you did not set up the dashboard with YAML mode because ?edit=1 does not work. Even if you click the Edit dashboard button, it will tell you The edit UI is not available when in YAML mode.

I did it with the UI editor indeed

[oak dragon]

I can’t access the editor from my custom dashboard so its not possible to edit the dashboard

[oak dragon]

I will need to figure out if jts configured for dual mode. How or where can I find this?

I can only add a badge or add a card from my custom dashboard when I add ?edit=1 to the url

Gives me access to edit limited but not to edit in .yaml or see the raw file

I will take a look at it tonight for the dual mode and proceed the steps further. Thanks @hushed prairie

If you used the UI editor, then the dashboard is not a YAML-mode dashboard.

As mentioned above the code block, the setting is in the configuration.yaml in the lovelace: section. But, like just mentioned, if you used the UI editor, then the dashboard is not a YAML-mode dashboard which you would not have needed to set up the dual mode.

Try adding ?disable_km to the URL and see if that brings back header. If so, then you're using Kiosk Mode like I mentioned in my first post.
