Can't click enable or show items in Page Editor in Sitecore - sitecore

I can't seem to click the "Editing" "Designing" "Controls" "Navigation bar" checkboxes in the View ribbon on the Page Editor. Is this a permission thing? Haven't found a way to enable it (I have it enabled on a mirror/development version so I know it works)
Thanks

Apparently for anyone checking this out, if you don't have the appropriate item commands in your Commands.config file, then they will neither enable or disable these options.
So the solution is to check your Commands.config file and make sure you have the appropriate "webedit:toggleeditvisibility", etc. commands in there.

Must be a permissions thing. See if your user is a member of sitecore\Author and sitecore\Designer, if you're not using a user account marked "Is Administrator"

ISecurityInformation "Show advanced permissions" link

The ISecurityInformation interface can be used to display permissions for:
an object,
a group, or
a user name.
If the SI_ADVANCED flag is set when calling GetObjectInformation, the Advanced button becomes available.
After clicking Advanced:
a Principal can be selected
and then the View or Edit buttons become available (also contingent on the flags set when GetObjectInformation is called).
Clicking Edit or View will bring up the Permission Entry dialog. On this dialog there is another link that says Show advanced permissions.
Regardless of the flag combination that I set when initializing dwFlags, I am unable to get anything to display on the second Advanced permissions dialog.
To see the information that I am attempting to glean, right-click on any file in Windows Explorer then select
Properties
Security
Advanced
[any Principal]
View
Show advanced permissions.
I am trying to gain access to this same information from within my implementation of ISecurityInformation. I have tried just about every flag listed in the documentation of the SI_OBJECT_INFO, and various combinations, with no success. Changing these flags does alter the layout of the Permission Entry dialog but the actual content of the Advanced permissions area is always blank.
Is there something else that I need to initialize when instantiating the ISecurityInformation interface?
I was able to resolve this by updating the implementation of GetAccessRights as shown at http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/10811/The-Windows-Access-Control-Model-Part. The problem lied with the implementation of GetAccessRights, not GetObjectInformation.

"Add to here" is not visible in page editor mode

When I click on "Component" in Page Editor mode I don't see "Add to here" for most of the components. I can see it for just one component which is not desired. I want it for all the components. I checked the properties, "Editable" is checked for it. Also placeholder settings are fine. Please suggest.
If you're seeing at least one Add to here, that means that you've got the Page Editor in the correct Designing view in Page Editor.
You say that your "placeholder settings are fine", but does the Placeholder Key match exactly the ID of the placeholder that you have in your rendering? Additionally, have you specified the Allowed Controls that can be placed in the placeholder?

Restore default Toad layout

I'm using Toad 6.1
Something happened to my client and now I don't see that nice layout I had before. All forms are Tabbed and etc.
Could someone tell me how to restore settings to defaults?
Thanks
P.S. I tried to use Configuration Wizard and option Default but it did not fix the issue
I have never found an easy way to "go back" to what I've had after restoring Toad. Here's a guide that gives some help:
http://www.brainsurface.com/articles/ToadTipsTricksExpertInsight.pdf
I somehow changed my default view and couldn't see any data.
What solved my issue was:
- Click the "Browser Style" icon. It looks like a little menu icon with three check boxes.
- Click "Toggle RHS Visibility."

How to add new users to watch-list in Redmine

How do I add new users to the "Watch List" for a particular bug in Redmine so that they will get updates for changes to said bug?
Ok, so this is a case of "the best to place to hide is in plain sight."
To add a user, open the bug and in the bottom right there will be a section called Watchers. Next to that is an Add link. Click that, and select the users to add to the watch list. Screenshots below.
If you are in the process of creating a bug, you can scroll down to the bottom of the "New Issue" section, and select the watchers there. This method will also ensure they are emailed about the creation of the bug. IIRC, adding them after the fact doesn't result in their being emailed until an actual change is made to the bug's status.

Sitecore how to hide/disable HTML tab from your Rich Text Editor

Could someone suggest how to hide/disable HTML tab from your Rich Text Editor on sitecore?
I had a look at this, but requires a change on Sitecore core rich text XML.
Problem with this solution is we need to modify the XML for each instance and what about upgrades?
Thanks.
In the Core database (you can switch using the icon in the bottom right next to the clock) you can go to /sitecore/system/Settings/Html Editor Profiles/*profile you want*/buttons/HTML view and deny read-access on that for your users. Alternatively, at least in Sitecore 6.5, there's a profile without the HTML view. It's called Rich Text IDE. You can set the datasource field of a Rich Text field to that one, and not have the HTML view.
That's only removing the HTML option on the bottom left though, I'm not sure how to remove the Edit HTML option you have before you've opened the RTE itself (where you have Show Editor/ Suggest Fix / Edit Html). Looking at This question it might be you'll have to change the XML anyway.
The way we've got upgrades and different instances handled is by having the changed file in source control, and making sure we include it when building a deployment package.
Adding onto Trayek's great answer - you can remove access to the "Edit HTML" as outlined by Alex Shyba below:
Go to the core database, locate the field definition item:
/sitecore/system/Field types/Simple Types/Rich Text/Menu/Edit Html
On the Security Tab, click “Assign” and select the role you don’t want this option to be available to. Deny inheritance of this item or specify other security settings that make sense for your needs.
I added "Everyone" and then selected the "X" by Inheritance for Items, and the "Edit HTML" option was removed.
