    I’ve just upgraded to 0.9.6.
    Now my ditto news listing isn’t working any more, the [+link+] is not rendered.

    I did an installation by removing the old MODx installation and installing the new one.
    Then copy the settings from my old config and then used the update function.

    Since than there is no read more link in my news listing, see http://triplesoftware.nl/index/News

    Any solutions would be welcome.

        Document’s alias is not sticking, keeps going blank after you save

        I also have this problem. Hope it’s fixed asap and i keep editing my fresh MODx installation.


        With many installs of the public 0.9.6 build, I had never experienced this issue...until this morning.

        I have been able to create/save/edit documents/containers just fine with no impact on the alias. Specifically, however, when I tried using QuickEdit to edit a page’s document content section, the alias was dropped!

        Are we certain this is an issue specifically w/ the MODx core, or has this been tied to QuickEdit already? In other words, has anyone else experienced this issue from within the manager, and have you been able to replicate the error?

        I should note that I am also using the CustomAlias plugin. Upon disabling this plugin, the alias sticks just fine when editing via QuickEdit.

          I actually experienced this alias disappearing issue with a "post-official" 0.9.6 version from SVN a week or two back. I reverted to the official 0.9.6 and the problem was fixed.

          I’ll see if I can fix CustomAlias and put a new version in the repository. I actually don’t think this is 0.9.6 specific with CustomAlias though.

            I was still having trouble saving with latin1 encodings until I made some new adjustments to this in branches/0.9.6 last night; I merged these changes to trunk just a few moments ago. It needs to be thoroughly tested on as many encodings as possible, but should be saving properly now regardless of the encoding.

              @Brett, you’re probably right. This is something more suitable for the support thread. I just recalled seeing the alias-no-stick bug in this thread and wanted to keep the experiences together.

              @Jason, great news. I recently did a whole skew of 096 upgrades, so hopefully I can test a recent SVN build soon with no problems...

                hi there,

                i’ve upgraded one of my modx installations from 095 to 096 and now when i log in to the manager this is what i now see along the top:

                admin | Messages ( Window.addEvent(’load’ / function() { qe = new QuickEdit(2) | Help | Logout | 0.9.6

                also every time i add or edit a chunk/snippet when i hit save i get a preview of the site in the main window rather than the "changes saved" message!

                any ideas why this might be? (the site is running on linux, php5.2.0, mysql 5.0.27)

                  I think you need to add "SecFilterEngine Off" into /manager/.htaccess file....

                      Some uses of mod_security can be to block comment and referrer spam, malicious code/hacking attempts, etc. However, sometimes it gets triggered by mistake. This can happen if something on your site (like a URL or form submission) matches a common pattern. In the case of MODx, you are submitting PHP Code to the server to be stored in the database, and Apache sees this code as a potential security issue and will deny the request.

                      By disabling it in the /manager/.htaccess, it allows you to submit snippets/plugins/code, etc without being denied.

                      Note, this "error" is not specific to MODx, rather your server environment since mod_security is present and enabled.
