Jan,

Superb. That did the trick. Basically I did the things you suggested -

To get basic admin panel working:-

config.admPanel = 1 for the main TS-Setup
addded the following for the be-group TSconfig:-
   admPanel = 1
   admPanel {
enable.edit=1
enable.edit.hide=0
enable.cache=0
enable.info = 0
module.edit.forceDisplayFieldIcons = 1
module.edit.forceDisplayIcons = 1
module.edit.forceNoPopup = 1
hide = 0
}

If any user reading this has problems getting the front-end to reveal 
anything other than the pencil icon for a be user or admin (which was 
the case for me for a while) click on user administration and check the 
settings relating to admPanel reflect those given above. If not and it 
says something like hide=1 or admPanel = 0 and you're not sure where 
this is set click on DB check->FullSearch and then put in the keyword 
"hide" or "admPanel" to see where this is set. The resulting answer can 
be clicked on and edited if necessary

To then apply Jan's changes you need to add the marker ###ADDRECORD### 
to your html template (global template in my case) and then put the 
myEditPanel=COA settings in the Setup section typo template page. I 
found for the news records section I needed to add this separately in 
the TS setup section for the page where the news records are kept. Again 
if your wondering how to do this (as this confused for me a long time), 
click on template, then your news records page and it will probably say 
something like "No template" , so click on "create an extension 
template". This will then bring up a page that allows you to add page 
specific TS config information. I am sure there are probably slicker 
ways of doing what I have just described on this superb CMS but it 
worked for me

Cheers
Paul
