    Hello,

    I installed articles and set up my blog. If I make a post, save it and then click the "close"-button, I get the following warning:
    "You have made changes that have not yet been saved, are you sure you want to cancel?" But it's saved!!

    Is this a bug? Is there a solution?

    Best regards,
    Michael

      Seems to be. See here: https://forums.modx.com/thread/?thread=97622&page=2

      I have it on 2.6.5. I just make sure to hit save, then close, then ignore the message and everything seems to be ok. Articles hasn't been updated since 2015 so I don't know if it'll ever be fixed.

        I see this too, and it's not just Articles. It's been around for a long time and I ignore it once I'm sure I've saved what I'm working on.

          Thank you for your answers. That's too bad. How come? Do people no longer find MODX interesting?

            Articles as an extra has mostly been replaced with Collections, as it's a more flexible (dare I say MODX-y!) approach to a similar use case. Articles hasn't been maintained a whole lot since, though there are people in the community who have offered to make sure it continues to work to support legacy sites using it.

              Good Morning,

              I didn't get collections or blogit under Revo 2.7.0 to work. I created pages in collections and blogit, but they wasn't displayed to me. In the settings of blogit I have specified the parent folder. Still not working. Maybe I did something wrong. Is there a good tutorial for collections? I didn't found anything.

              Best regards,
              Michael
