    Hi

    I have a very unusual error happening - I cannot edit any weblinks.
    All I am getting is a blank edit pane!

    All plugins disabled, and user set to Sudo to eliminate any issues there.

    Unusual behavior observed when I created a weblink and set the template to my content page (instead of blank).
    Instead of the edit pane being completely blank it shows the internal DIV of the Template Variables tab and nothing else - an inspect element shows that the DIV modx-resource-tvs-div is present but the other elements are missing/incomplete.

    If I manually edit a record in the datbase changing the class_key from modWebLink to modDocument I am able to edit this record as a document again!

    Has anyone observed this failing before and can give me any pointers as to where the error might be?

    thanks

    Ian
    • Try replacing the core/model directory. I've has some odd things happening because apparently some files got corrupted somehow. You also might need to replace the entire /manager/ directory.

        Hi sottwell,

        Many thanks, replacing the entire /manager/ directory fixed the problem.

        Slightly worrying how a file could have 'become' corrupted... but happy to have a solution smiley

        cheers

        • Yes, I was puzzled as well. This was on my localhost MacBook using MAMP, as I have been doing for several years. The only thing different was that I had just installed an anti-virus, and had it scan the whole machine. Maybe a bit got flipped somewhere during the scanning process. Or maybe not. I just don't know.
