MODx Manager Help

I propose we add a textarea to the manager help page (Help >> Help) that contains diagnostic info and server config/versions so that it is easy to cut and paste into the forums. Also, the link to the forums there is incorrect.

There is a PHPinfo available already in the manager... or do you mean something else?

I like the idea of Textbox, so we can ask user to copy/paste the info from there, obviously includes all settings/specs about server and modx.

May be we can name it "Dr. MODx"

Very good point, with a little JS that hightlights everythign on entry.

That’s a great idea. You could always skip the texarea and have a Copy Specs to Clipboard JS link too.

What kind of info should we be looking for?

MODx version
OS and version
Webserver and version
PHP version
MySQL version
Use access permissions
Database name
Table prefix
Various path and url settings

Eventually it would good to have a whole diagnostics page that could check some things like database connection, database permissions, filesystem check, file permissions, check for .htaccess if friendly urls are on, maybe even run down every document in the site checking for snippet errors and warning, dead [~555~] style links and that all snippets, chunks and TVs in the output exist. I think it would make for a great module down the road.

that would be awesome indeed... thanks for sparking the dialog mark!

Anytime! Sounds great Adam!
