Manager Usage
[edit]
I can't see certain sections in the menu!
- Check that you have the right permissions.
- Check that your browser window is large enough to display all the links.
[edit]
The rich text editor is too wide for the window!
- 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.
- You can hide the document tree frame by clicking the red [X].
[edit]
I get an error when I execute a snippet after saving!
- 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.
- If there is an include in the snippet, you may need to change this to be relative to the manager.
[edit]
I have been blocked and cannot login!
[edit]
When saving resource code in manager, I get permission errors!

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