Page Data – Source

After logging into the MODx manager and clicking on a document, the “Page Data – Source" link does not show the page source. Can anyone point me to a fix for this?

When making support requests, please make sure to provide information about your web server and your client machine:

Web Server:

• PHP version and how it’s running (suexec, mod_php, CGI, etc.)
• Apache or IIS version
• Operating System and version

Database:

• MySQL version
• List of any tables over 1MB in size

MODx:

• Version
• Any changes you’ve made
• Any snippets you’re running on the page that is not working properly
• Any plugins you’re running

Browser/Client:

• Browser name and version
• Operating System and version

This will go a long way towards being able to quickly resolve or duplicate and bugs as applicable, and should result in a better overall support experience.

Further, if you’re seeing problems with snippets not seeming to work right, make sure you’re enclosing parameters in back-tics, not single-quotes. On US-English keyboards that’s the key typically found at the top-left of the number row: `

Thanks!

MODx info?

I did not install MODx, someone else did and then disappeared and left us hanging. So here’s the info to the best of my knowledge:

MODx: Version 0.9.6.3
Any changes you’ve made: None that I know of
Any snippets you’re running on the page that is not working properly: None that I know of
Any plugins you’re running: Quickedit?

Browser/Client: IE6, IE7, Opera, Chrome, Firefox, we use them all

Sounds like a similar issue to your other one, especially if the source is from cache (as seems most likely), the script has to be able to read the assets/cache directory.

That directory is being read. Source can be opened on some files but not on others. On some files it says "This document has not (yet) been cached." I don’t know how to make that happen.

A document gets cached if it is set to be cacheable, and has been requested. If you want all of your cacheable documents to be in the cache, you need to log out of the manager and go through your site.

Editing a document will clear the cache (if it is set to do so), so once you edit a document then none of the rest of them will be in the cache until they’ve been requested by a non-Manager user.

IOW, its a normal behavior.

I’ve never used that tab anyway; what do you use it for? I always go directly to the edit window for documents.
