Support/Comments for Qm (QuickManager)

Is there any way to specify a TV value for a new resource directly from QM. For example, depending on which page the user is on when selecting "Create Resource Here" could we somehow pass a var in the query string QM uses such as:
www.domain.com/index.html?pid=11&quickmanager=1&template=products - if creating the resource from a products page
or
www.domain.com/index.html?pid=12&quickmanager=1&template=productCatagories - if creating the resource from a product catagories page
to preset the TV fields.

Thanks

I have done something similar, but we used PubKitBlog for it, and added a menu item to the QM menu for the page with PKB.

You can do this but you will need separate templates so this may not be an optimal solution:
- Template with empty TVs
- Same template with predefined TV values

Look more info at QM+ docs:
http://www.maagit.fi/files/qm-plus-1341/readme.html

Check especially "New document template type". With "Selected" setting and "inhertTpl" TV you can inherit any template you want.

Since it is so easy to add QM+ buttons for adding a document with preselected template i started using it a lot like for example:

This is a lot more intuitive then the general add resource which always opens with the default template.

Now it would be a cool feature if I could style the buttons individually. Currently i can rename the css class qm-new to something else by the plugin configuration. However it uses the same class for every button. Consider the 2 buttons above, it would be cool to use different colors or add a different icon to either of them.

An ideal solution would be to have a command like

Where qm-new is the action that is used and qm-add-article the css class. Currently both action and style class use the same name.

Please consider this a feature request, not criticism. Its already a really cool plugin as it is!

Great feature request! I’ll add it todo list.

When using in Firefox with Firebug enabled the modal box will not stop loading and FB will show: parent.mainMenu is undefined
Note sure why or how but this issue disappeared

I have definitely experienced this issue too. It has something to do with the fact that QM+ uses default MODx manager frame but misses the other two manager frames (topmenu and site tree). If I guess right this error is there after saving the resource in QM+ because after saving QM+ tries to unlock the resource by calling the main MODx manager from JS / Ajax call.

I’m just guessing here, if someone has investigated this further I would be happy to hear more about it (and possibly apply a fix).

Hi there,

QM+ needs jQuery to work. I you are not using e.g. ManagerManager plugin that already loads jQuery you have to load jQuery for QM+.
