      Hi specialFX,

      apparently your browser doesn’t support frames:
      This software requires a browser with support for frames
      ...try it with another browser

        Hi I have the same Problem:
        no css in the manager interface. I tryed IE8, FF3.0 and safari4.0

        Should I now use chrome to work with modx... rolleyes ? It’s the only one I did not test...

        Thank you for any hint!

          Try to re-upload your [tt]manager/media/style/[/tt] directory.
          Maybe there are some files missing...

              Hi JUSI,
              thank you for the hint!

              I re-uploaded the manager/media/style/ directory containing:
              - images folder
              - index.html
              - style.css
              - style.php

              But, still no css in the manager interface.

              Any other idea?

              Additional info:
              when I open the normal startpage (not /manager) I get now the following error message:

              ERROR: Too many forward attempts!
              The request could not be completed due to too many unsuccessful forward attempts.

                I would try to re-upload the whole manager directory to make sure there are no corrupted files elsewhere.
                If this does’nt help it would get tricky - maybe some geeks here can jump in? wink

                  Ok, I have found the solution:

                  I had to change the character encoding from utf 8 to latin9-iso-8859-15. even without css in the manager you can do this in the manager interface on the current screen after loging. Just choose the encoding in the pull down menu.

                  I remember that in previous releases I had to change the character set already in the installation process. with the 1.02 version I could not change this during installation anymore.

                  So, hope that helps! smiley
