Critical- Files deleted when viewed in file manager- modx 1.04

Try completely clearing your browser cache and cookies for the domain. It’s possible that a scrambled javascript file or something is cached in the browser, triggering the delete?

The 2 new test sites are on 2 totally new subdomains- they were never cached at all and they both exhibited the deleting behavior on the first visit so it seems unlikely that cache is the problem. Also, while I have been testing on my computer only, the original behavior occurred using multiple computers. In the spirit of "you never know", I opened a new browser (chrome instead of FF), cleared the entire cache, went to my fresh install testsite manager and the same thing happened (I navigated to assets/templates/modxhost in file manager, paused for a few seconds, then went to reports- all css and js files were deleted)

netProphet- look for access info in a PM- Thank you!!!

What happens if you select the remove option rather than edit? If the files aren’t deleted, it would suggest a mis-assignment of the menu options themselves.

Bob- I’m not selecting anything. All I’m doing is opening folders with file manager. As soon as I open the folders the files start automatically deleting.

If you right-click on them in the File tree, you get a menu. What happens when you select the various choices in the menu?

Bob-

When I right click on the files in file manager I don’t get a context menu- I just get the standard windows context menu so I don’t know what you are talking about. And I don’t get much time to experiment with the files- when I keep the folder open for 30 seconds or so the files all disappear. All I did was try to right click a couple of files, then they all disappeared. Usually I don’t do anything and they disappear. Below is the manager log for the latest folder I opened.

I wonder if temporarily commenting out lines 428 & 442 of files.dynamic.php would help any debuggin? It would seem that the "Deleted" message is only generated by a section of code where a REQUEST picks up mode=delete. That seems to occur at those points in the code (i.e the ls function) which is always called, even when viewing a list. Then the question would be why and where that logic is getting triggered.

Just a swag ...
Matt

That’s truly wierd, especially so since it’s occurring in two different builds of MODx. Do you get the right-click menu in any browser? Do any JS errors show in FireBug?

Thanks Bob and Matt- I appreciate your help. At this point, netProphet is working in my test sites to see if he can debug and figure it out. I don’t want to get in his way, and since this is really over my head at this point anyhow (I’m a designer who’s learned to work with programming...)I’m going to leave things alone for right now. Please continue to post if you have ideas- all suggestions are appreciated and you guys might think of an angle that would help netProphet debug- I just don’t want you to think I’m being rude if I don’t respond.

Thanks again. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this and post a solution!!!

Sorry, I was fully busy "offline" few days. Was bug found?
@netProphet, if I can something to help - welcome PM
