modx 0.9.7

Just tried the new modx 0.9.7 manager interface.

It’s not fast at ALL comparing to the old one.

Also, where can I enter bugs for this version?

Thx

I moved your topic in the proper board, you’ll probably get an answer faster

The manager IS way faster on my end...

Which build did you export ?
Which browser did you suffer this speed issues ?
Did you have FireBug enabled ?

As far as reporting bugs is concerned, you’ll have to wait a little till the alpha is public, we have new infrastructure for reporting bugs and it’s not opened yet (at least not to my knowledge).

Hi davidm,

I just followed the instruction at http://svn.modxcms.com/docs/display/MODx097/Development+and+Testing+Notes
It seems that you were right about firebug

I tested it in firefox(no firebug), safari and camino and feels fast.

Can’t wait for the release

Yeah firebug is great for development but it slows down js powered interfaces.

Maybe you noticed GMail now has just added a warning for this when you have firebug on
Which makes me think... we should do the same !

Yes.. that would be good.. Unfortunately FireBug doesn’t provide any "official" means to detect it though (AFAIK). It is possible to detect FireBugs console log object for example, but such things may change in future versions of FireBug. But still.. it would be good to have.

You mean whatever Google did to detect it, it will have to be updated frequently ?

Yes, that’s what I mean.. although don’t know how probable it is that the firebug console object would change.. also firebug makes window.console available, so that’s one to check too.. but yeah.. it’s not a perfect solution to check it. At least last time that I looked into it (at the time google added the notification, few moths ago), firebug did not offer any official way to check if firebug is enabled or not.

OK thanks for the explanations

Funny, you say several months ? I didn’t get any notification until very recently (it happened along with the new updated interface), strange...

I got into the habit of only turning firebug on when I want to check something since it seems to really slow down my browser at times.

Yeah.. I noticed that you had seen it just now.. I saw it sometimes end of last year for the first time.. I think.

Here’s one article about it: http://www.seifi.org/javascript/sniff-and-disable-firebug-howto-gmail-example.html
