I’m pretty new to MODx and I’m close to launching my first MODx based site. Although the last month or so has been a big learning curve I am already a MODx convert: unlike many other systems, it really does live up to the hype
Inevitably I’ve found a few issues and a couple are IE specific (I’m using IE8):
1) When you hover over the help "speech bubble" icons in the manager, IE shows its own tooltip above the javascript tooltip. Actually this is a bug in IE (it’s the
title attribute’s text that should be shown and not the
alt text). However, it should be easy enough to fix - by adding an empty
title attribute (title="") on these images.
2)
Doc Manager > Sort Menu Items. (I know this is a module issue, but seeing as it’s included in the default install I thought I’d flag it up here). When you’ve clicked on an item to drag-and-drop it to a new position in the list, IE moves the selected item to about 100px below the list (that’s where it seems to think the list is). Although it’s still possible to use it, it’s not very user friendly and unfortunately my clients will be using IE8.
For future updates it would be great if drag-and-drop functionality could be available directly in the Site Tree.
Big thanks and huge respect to Ryan Thrash and all the MODx team for such an awesome CMS.
