Cannot edit resource after user edits.

I have installed 1.0.1, which was an upgrade from 1.0

Currently I have a user that is editing resources. When he edits a resource’s content, the ’resource content’ area ceases to render on that page’s ’general’ tab. Not even an admin user can see it. The user has full editing and saving permissions.

If an admin user hits ’save’, the ’resource content’ area comes back but is empty.

Meanwhile, even though the resource content area doesn’t appear in the manager, the content is properly rendered on the front-end.

Generally a working page has a structure of something like:

<div id="tabGeneral" class="tab-page" style="display: block;">
<table width="680" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="0" border="0">
</table>
<div class="sectionHeader">Resource content</div>
<div class="sectionBody">
</div>
<div class="sectionHeader">Template Variables</div>
<div class="sectionBody tmplvars">
</div>
</div>


Whereas this page has something like:

<div id="tabGeneral" class="tab-page" style="display: block;">
<table width="680" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="0" border="0">
</table>
</div>

So the ’sectionHeader’ area doesn’t even get rendered. It isn’t just hidden, it’s missing entirely.

I’m a web developer, so let me know if you want me to dig into something.

Oh, and I don’t have any extra plugins or modules installed.

This seems really strange. I pulled up the relevant code, and at this point I can only think of a few things to ask:
* is ManagerManager (now installed with 1.0.1) disabled?
* if you look in your site’s db at the (prefix)site_content table, do the records for the resources in question all have their ’type’ field set to ’document’?
* is the file manager/actions/mutate_content.dynamic.php 1184 lines long?

I think I am running into a similar problem for manager users who are not set as administrators–such as publisher or editor. When they save the document the "type" and "contentType" fields are dropped in the database of modx_site_content table for the affected documents. I have run into this in a couple sites and couldn’t replicate the problem until I logged in using their account.

netProphET, sorry didnt see your reply before I responded. in my case mute_content.dynamic.php is 1184 lines long and disabling managermanager doesn’t make a difference. If I change the user to have the Administrator role it seems to fix the problem.

In the db, ’type’ and ’content type’ are both empty for resources this user creates/edits.

Yes. My mutate_content.dynamic.php file is 1184 lines long. Administrators do not suffer from this issue.

Aha.. thanks waldus68 and onyxrev.. that’s definitely a major clue. Now to replicate the problem.

Since you mentioned it... How about clicking on the Jira link in the top nav, creating an account and filing a bug report for this issue? That would be very cool.

Done!
