When I created my own template (success!), I couldn’t help but notice that the QuickEdit links in my content sections disappeared. The Toolbar was still there up at the left, but the little buttons were gone.
So, I read the QuickEdit instructions on the MODxCMS website and then I compared my template with a few of the default MODx templates.
What I can’t figure out is where the code is on the original MODx templates for these QuickEdit links. The FAQ explains a few different options for implementing them, but none of these tags seem to be in the templates.
When I view the Source Code for the template, I see this:
<!-- Start QuickEdit headers -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="manager/media/script/mootools/mootools.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="assets/modules/quick_edit/javascript/QuickEdit.js"></script>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="assets/modules/quick_edit/styles/toolbar.css" />
<script type="text/javascript">
Window.addEvent(’load’,function() {
qe = new QuickEdit(2,1,’/modx-0.9.6/manager/’,’assets/modules/quick_edit’,$(’QE_Toolbar’));
});
</script>
<!-- End QuickEdit headers -->

But, can’t seem to find any sort of QuickEdit tag or code in the actual template itself...
I copied and pasted the code into a text editor and did a search for the tags listed in the FAQ (
tv-name,
quickedit:, etc.), but there was nothing there.
What am I missing?
