    Hi,

    I wasn’t sure where to post this topic, I hope this is the correct place.

    We are implementing Modx for a company’s intranet, and as part of the whole documentation requirements, they are asking for a description of each of the fields in all tables. They need just a short decription of each field’s purpose.

    Is there any reference manual where I can find this info please? I’ve been searching here and there and found nothing so far.

    Your help will be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Mc.

      Almost every table already has comments, e.g. user_messages: "Contains messages for the Content Manager messaging system."
      Maybe there’s a mysql system function to print out all table-comments from a db. If not, export it via phpMyAdmin and copy-paste from there.

      GaneshXL,

      I could not find any comments at the table level. The comment is always blank. Anyway, I was referring to comments at the field level, I mean some little info that explains what is the purpose of every field in the tables. Is there any reference or manual?

      Thanks.
