    Anyone having problems with the new version of modx I updated last week and I have currently lost drag and drop functionality. When I currently drag anything it prints out the full link ie.(http://www.mydomain.com/manager/index.php?a=19&id=2) and also lost the ability to change templates on certain resources .. I push save and it goes into a endless loop and never completes anyone now whats going on. I’ve re-installed and the same thing happens.

    Operating system Linux
    MySQL version 5.1.47
    Apache version 2.2.16
    PHP version 5.2.14
    Mozilla version 3.6.6

      I figured it out. If this happens to anyone. All you have to do is backup your Database. Re-install from setup new installation then restore your backup I think it was a problem coming from 2.0.3 directly to 2.0.4-pl2. I am up and running again without any problems grin.

          You need to make sure and run upgrade with you existing database in place. Restoring your database after installing new will not work.

          That said, sounds like you may have simply needed to clear your browser cache TBH. Some of the old Javascript may have been cached in your browser and obviously would not have functioned properly after the upgrade.

            If you look at my post : No way to get the new drag and drop feature to work properly huh?
            http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,56549.0.html

            You will see that I have similar problems...

            I am running 2.0.4, and got same issue with 2.0.3 before.

            I tried to clear the firefox cache with no success.

            Any Idea ?

            Thanks

              It may be an issue specific to Firefox. Can you try another browser? Also are you trying to drop onto a TinyMCE instance?

                I have done more tests.

                It does not works properly on my portable pc on Firefox, or safari, and I have not been able to do anything with IE9 (but I know it’s not supported yet).
                My portable pc has a 1900*900 pixel size.

                On the opposite, I have been able to make it works correctly on my desktop pc using firefox and IE8.
                The screen is standard 1280*1024pixels.

                Both machines are running windows 7 64 bits pro version.

                I feel like it is related to the 16/9 screen.

                Hope this helps

                  I have tried everything with this issue all browser types clearing the cache restoring the database I am really stuck. I have to present my site to a client at the end of the week and that was one of the points I was going to show them about ease of use of Modx, if anyone has anything else I can try I would greatly appreciate it. embarrassed

                    Is anyone else having the drag and drop problem in all browsers after updating to the newest version. I can fix it by restoring but once i log in the second time its broken again.

                      I have also lost drag and drop functionality in the Resource and Elements tree after upgrading to MODx Revolution 2.0.4-pl2. I can pick resources up in the Files tree but can’t drop them anywhere.

                      splittingred mentions that this feature is toggleable in 2.0.4 but I can’t find the setting. http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,55529.msg320326.html#msg320326

                      I have the gallery component installed and can drag and drop galleries successfully.

                      [UPDATE]: Reinstalling the CMS corrected the issue. Something must have gone wrong during my first upgrade.
