    Hi there,

    I’ve spotted what I think are a couple of bugs with the add-on sample site (although I don’t know their cause). Where should I discuss them (there doesn’t seem to be a specific board for the sample sites) and where should we report bugs?

    For info, the bugs are


    • By default, the Archive function seems to be broke (and needs a &cache=`0` adding to a call)
    • The install has a ’request an account page’ which
      [list][li]Has a broken captcha
    • Has a call which refers to a user group which needs to be added before it will function (not a bug exactly, but needs mentioning somewhere)
    • May have have problems with the email function (sending blank emails), I will report later if this is the case
    [/li]
    [/list]

    MODx Revolution seems great and much more developed than v1 in many ways already, but it’s definitely worth making sure these sample sites are fully working and well-functioning for someone like me who is more of a designer than a coder (which is what attracted me to MODx in the first place) - so I’d like to help with these issues if possible. Please let me now how smiley

    Thank you,

    Jim

      Do you know, that MODx also needs designers like you, to provide better free templates, like developers to add-ons?

      You can also contribute that.

        Hi Jim. Thanks for catching these.

        Can you file them as issues here so they don’t get forgotten?

          Hi there,

          The emails aren’t preserving content, but sending blank as I mentioned.

          This is the test site:

          http://test.killock.org.uk/

          The set up is LAMP (Apache 2.2.15; MySQL 5.0.91-community; PHP 5.2.14)

          The Revo set up is unaltered, except for installation of some add-ons and the sample site add-on (archivist, captcha, ditto, formit, getpage, getresoucefield, getresources, login, modxss, quip, simplesearch, taglister, tinymce, ultimateparent, wayfinder)

              I’ve added those as requested.

              There was a missing template chunk for the contact form email, and a minor problem with the fields in the ’contact us’ form on the page, which I’ve noted in github as well. Hope that’s helpful!
