tvEditor beta 0.8.5

Hi,

once you have created tvEditor Module in the manager.
Run tvEDitor and you ’ll see an install button, Just click it
This will add the needed chunks.

:-)

Ok,

I’ve done that, two things happen.

1: I get an error messag

No Tvs were found.
Note that only TVs which type is (listbox,listbox-multiple,checkbox,option,dropdown).

2: A whole load of tv chunks appear in the chunks section with the word (Locked) after them.

1. It’s a warning since tvEditor needs existing tvs to show something
As the message says only the following type (listbox,listbox-multiple,checkbox,option,dropdown) are supported

2. Nothing weird
They are locked to make them editable only by an admin user

:-)

Ok? That still leaves me nowhere to go.

In your install instructions it says

Now you can easily edit tv options

But obviously pressing on Edit Options won’t allow this at this stage.

Did I miss a step?

Go to resources > templates variables.
Create a tv : type listbox for instance.
then go to tvEditor and then you ’ll be able to add options easily without wrint || ==

:-)

OK, done that, it works, I feel like I’ve just put my toe in a very big ocean and I need a lifeguard. (Pammy?)

Anyway, the reason I’m persevering with tveditor is that I asked in another thread about how to search and display data from a database on a webpage. And someone said it could be done in tvexplorer/tveditor. However, they didn’t quite know how to do it.

IF someone’s willing to guide me through this, I’ll write it up as a tute and then those that come after us will have something to follow.

tvExplorer allows you to create advenced serach form based on tvs, parent tree and keywords (full text).
Its scope is limited to modx documents and tvs. It doesn’t work with other tables.

:-)

Oh, the two examples you provided on the tvexplorer thread looked pretty close to what I was after.

But if I understand you correctly, you’re saying this can’t be done if the info is in a db, even if it is integrated into modx?

Is that right?

Indeed it only works for modx documents since the results are rendered using Ditto.

:-)

Hi,

I’m trying to install tvEditor but am reciving the following error within the admin area:
