Magically, its working again. It wasn’t browser-specific as I could reproduce it across Firefox and Safari on Mac OS 10.4 and it was it this state for almost 24 hours. I started trying random junk - re-uploaded the manager directory, went into SQL and set the language setting back to UTF-8, neither of which seemed to work. Oddly enough, I did open up tamper data, found the service call being made while loading index.php (URL=
http://www.lucivestudio.com/dev/modx/manager/index.php?a=1&f=nodes&indent=1&parent=0&expandAll=2), called it directly from a browser, and then, next thing I knew, the problem was cleared up. Huh. Perhaps something was getting hung up on an incomplete service call? Who knows. Anyway, its working again - I’ll try the tamper data trick again if it happens again.
So far, with this one exception, I think this is a very good product. Much more straight-forward than Joomla or Drupal.
