Manager Usage

I can't see certain sections in the menu!

  1. Check that you have the right permissions.
  2. Check that your browser window is large enough to display all the links.

The rich text editor is too wide for the window!

  1. Adjust the size of the window. You can narrow the document tree frame by dragging the white space between the tree frame and the editing frame.
  2. You can hide the document tree frame by clicking the red [X].

I get an error when I execute a snippet after saving!

  1. The snippet may not be designed to work that way. Most snippets only work from the front-end, particularly if they need a current document ID, an include file or certain parameters. Try using the snippet in a document.
  2. If there is an include in the snippet, you may need to change this to be relative to the manager.

How do I delete a document for good?

When a document is deleted in MODx, it sent to the trashcan. You will see it greyed out with a line through it (actual color may vary depending on manager skin). Here's how to permanently delete the document(s) in the trashcan.

NOTE: Once the documents are removed from the trashcan, they are not recoverable!

  1. Delete the documents desired by clicking on the icon next to the title (or right click the title), a menu will popup, click delete.
  2. Once you've selected all the documents you want deleted, click on the trashcan icon on the top of the tree menu.
  3. A message box will ask if you want to delete all the documents, click yes (or ok).
