Document Tree is empty for non-admin users.

We upgraded to 0.9.6.2 and now all users (other than admins) don’t have any documents or folders listed in their Document Tree inside the manager. They still have the permissions to edit the documents that they have been given permission to (i.e. documents are editable using the quickedit plugin or by searching by id in the manager and then editing the document from there). Anyone know why the list wouldn’t generate a user’s documents?

Thanks in advance.

**Update.

I was able to determine that the person that previously held my position at this job had made some alterations to the files in manager/frames/tree.php and node.php. I copied over these files and replaced them with the new ones that the new install had created and this seems to have fixed the problem. I’m not sure what had to be changed in the code to allow the Document Tree to work with our configuration.

If those documents were children of containers that the users didn’t have permissions to, then older versions of MODx would hide not only that container but all of its children as well. New versions (I think the last two, anyway) have an option in the configuration to show these documents anyway, although they still only have permission to edit the ones they were assigned. It sounds like your predecessor came up with his own method for displaying those documents.

For reference, that option is tree_show_protected in the system_settings db table. For some reason it’s hard to find that forum thread without knowing about it already
