    so in 34.include.cache.php, $modx is returning NULL...
    hence the errors..

    but in my external file $mod is returning the object...

    define('MODX_CORE_PATH', '/var/www/vhosts/mydomain/httpdocs/core/');
define('MODX_CONFIG_KEY', 'config');
define('MODX_API_MODE', true);


require_once '/var/www/vhosts/imi.ie/httpdocs/connectors/config.core.php';
require_once MODX_CORE_PATH.'config/'.MODX_CONFIG_KEY.'.inc.php';
require_once MODX_CORE_PATH.'model/modx/modx.class.php';
$modx = new modX();
$modx->initialize('web');
$modx->getService('error','error.modError');

var_dump($modx)

      The config file should not be included manually before instantiating the modX class. This is done internally when you call new modX().

        just following what the manual says....
        http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Loading+MODx+Externally

        require_once '/absolute/path/to/modx/config.core.php';
require_once MODX_CORE_PATH.'config/'.MODX_CONFIG_KEY.'.inc.php';
require_once MODX_CORE_PATH.'model/modx/modx.class.php';
$modx = new modX();
$modx->initialize('web');
$modx->getService('error','error.modError');

          Edited for the inaccuracy...

            updated my file and still no joy. I’ve tried with both the simplsearch and wayfinder and a similar error in both.

            Now i’ve gone into both of the include files throwing the errors, and in both instances, when it calls the "global $modx;", it is not becoming the modx object.
            i’ve var_dump’d it and it’s returning a null


            from 24.include.cache.php
            function elements_modsnippet_24($scriptProperties= array()) {
global $modx;

if (is_array($scriptProperties)) {
extract($scriptProperties, EXTR_SKIP);
}

              well have given up trying to do it the api way....

              gone with the old reliable file_get_contents(link_to_resource_displaying_masthead_and_menu);
