    Hi All,

    I’m looking to build an application which will have slightly modified manager screens based on the user type. What is the process to creating a new manager theme? Here’s what I tried:

    Copy the "default" folder within /manager/templates and named it "template2"
    Selected "template2" as the system setting "manager_theme" for my test user
    Visited /manager/ with test user and receive this helpful error:

    <div class="modx_error">
    <h2>Error!</h2>
    
    <p>action_err_ns</p>
    
    </div>


    Am I forgetting something really simple?

    Thanks!

    Scott

        Yikes, I completely forgot all the good stuff.

        MODX 2.0.8
        Ubuntu 10.10
        PHP Version 5.3.3-1ubuntu9.5
        mysql 14.14 distrib 5.1.54
        Apache/2.2.16 (Ubuntu)
        pdo_mysql enabled
        Chrome + FF4

        I did an upgrade to 2.1.1 that seems to have completely fried everything, so I guess bigger fish to fry right now.
