How can I make a resource NOT CONTAINER permanently

Good day!

When I create a resource named 'Stages', on the Setting tab the 'container' checkbox is not checked
When I create a new resource named 'stages' (as well) child of 'Stages', on the stetting tab of 'Stages' resource is now checked.

I know, it's confusing, but we want to have the same name(becauce on smartphone, the first level of the menu is clickable to develop the submenu only). Then I have to click on Stages/stages to have the stages content text..

To avoid the confusion, I added [1] and [2] to Stage[1]/stage[2] to show the id resource and I use a S capital and a small s

-Home
-- Home
-- introduction
-- other menu
-Stages[1]
-- stages[2]
-- other menu
-- other menu

Now I have to create sevral pages under stages

-Stage[1]
-- stages[2]
--- event 1 title and description
--- event 2 title and desctiption
--- even 5 title and description
--- etc..

the event resource and child pages of Stage[1]/stage[2] will not be displayed in menu. But I create a new Wayfinder which will display all link of all events from the stage[2] page (i call it 'event' to avoid confusion with the word satge...)

In that way, the page Stage[1]/stage[2] will list all published 'event' resource as a links and if my editor want to add a new event, he will create a new resource under Stages[1]/stage[2].

The problem
When I check the resource stage[2] in the setting tab, the 'container' checkbox is not checked
When I creted a child resource of stage[2], in the setting tab of stage[2], the 'container' checkbox is now checked but the stage[2] mneu is not clickable any more. It's displayed in menu, but when I click nothing happen.

To make stage[2] (Stage/stage) clickable, I have to edit the resource stage[2] and uncheck the container checkbox and save.

Of course, I do not want to say to my editor, "each time you create an event", uncheck the container checkbox.

How can I make the container check box permanently uncheck wathever, I create or modify an event (child resource of stage[2])?

Thank a lot
(I hope you understand my menu in spite of Stage and stage ) )

Cheers

In MODX Evolution, when you save a child resource, the parent is automatically set to be a container.
At one time, MODX Revolution had that setting independent of whether the resource had children or not, but AFAIK, that's no longer true and it now works like Evolution.

I think you can change the container_suffix System Setting to make container URLs the same as non-container URLS if that would solve your problem.

Another possible workaround is to create a plugin attached to the OnDocFormSave event with this code:



I'm not sure it would work, but it might be worth a try. I'm not sure how it would affect the checkbox, but it should make sure no resource is marked as a container. If it works, though, it will mean that no resource could ever be marked as a container.
