    I’m not sure where to post this. I’m having trouble with the Doc Manager found on the modules tab of the latest version of 0.9.5. I’ve found this thread:

    http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,6334.0.html

    But I think this is referring to something else. One is called Docmanager and the other is called Doc Manager. I’m having problems with the latter.

    OK. So I want to change template variables for a group of documents which share the same template. I choose modules >> Doc Manager >> Template Variables and I’m presented with this information:

    Specify the Document IDs which need to be changed, either by specifying a range of IDs or by using the Tree option below, then choose the required template from the table and the associated template variables will be loaded. Enter your desired Template Variable values and submit for processing.


    So I choose the template I want to change and specify the id’s and click submit. It says that updates have been succesful and to hit back to make more changes. But wait a minute . . . I haven’t made any changes! There was no where for me to make any.

    So I read the instructions again and notice this part inparticular:

    then choose the required template from the table and the associated template variables will be loaded


    But when I select the template, no template variables are loaded. Could this be the problem? I can’t find anything about this in the forums or in the module support section. Could someone tell me what’s wrong, if the module is working correctly, if I have it all wrong or even point me to a thread someplace?

    Thanks so much!!

      OK. I’ve re-visited an older site I used modx 0.9.5 with and the docmanager does provide you with fields to alter the variables when you choose your template. Can anyone tell me why I might not be getting these options with my brand new installation of modx?

      Thanks for _any_ help you can give!
