I was trying out 2.0.0 beta 4 on a CentOS 5.3 server, using Firefox 3.5 on Vista as a browser. Wandering through the System menu, I dragged a couple entries around on the ’Actions’ page, and ended up with Site as the 2nd entry under Reports and the System menu was completely gone (I’m not sure how I did this
). I edited the modx_menus table to remove some erroneous parent entries apparently made by dragging and dropping, but I couldn’t get my menus back.
When the site menu ended up under reports, the flyout was unreachable with my browser. The flyout submenu was a little below the entry in the Reports dropdown, and as soon as I moved the mouse to try to reach clear cache, the flyout would disappear. It was impossible to reach any of the flyout menu choices.
I finally had to nuke the core/cache directory to get back to a usable menu.
- Moving entries around in the Actions tree may be doing some incorrect updating of menu positioning.
- If you get the Site menu as a submenu of reports, you can get visible but un-clickable menu items
It would be nice to have some fixed position clear cache button that’s always available. Is there any way to clear the cache without the menu choice?
One other unrelated question, how does the default workspace table get populated? I had cloned another modx2 site and that table had the wrong workspace path in my clone copy that never got reset when I ran setup as an upgrade.
