Well, the screenshots on the extras page show you frontpage should look, then there’s the user guide in /assets/components/frontpage/docs.
Use MODx, or the cat gets it!
The recursion error is not Frontpage, a user above in this thread also reported this :-
This is the only error I’m getting in my log on my recent install:
[2011-02-24 14:37:38] (ERROR @ /index.php) [OnWebPagePrerender]
This turned out to be bad permissions on his assets directory, the css wasn’t loading properly or something, have a read back through this thread, might help.

For what it’s worth, I just installed frontpage and it works like a dream. LOVE the independent CSS/template setup.
For people in this thread who seem to be having problems, here’s what I had to do:
1. installed through package manager
2. went to the properties for the plugin and enabled load jQuery
3. created a hidden page with the login snippet on it
4. logged in through that page with my manager admin login
5. voila, it works superbly.
the only other real problem I’ve noticed from reading this thread is that if you get no styles when the frontpage editor pops up, change your permissions on the assets folder and it should sort itself out.
shamblett, really amazing work on this plugin. Thank you!!!
JonnyRadar, I did what you described (previously I missed the jquery part), but still I have the problem one other also mentioned: I can edit & save changes, but the changes are not displayed in the frontend unless I go to the backend and clear the modx-cache. Which makes front-end-editing, well, less attractive.
Anyone an idea on this?
The cache thing has already been brought up, there’s a ticket raised for this in github.
The ticket reads :-
Frontpage may need an option to do this(clear the cache) if selected by the user, we need to look at clearing/updating the cache for just one resource, also as a general mechanism we need to install AJAX backends to be called when we close the lightbox to do any general tidying up needed
Any other thoughts welcome.

Firstly, well done and thank you Shamblett. I look forward to editing of all TVs.
Problem: Setting properties for the autohide toolbar makes no difference, it starts hidden and autohides whatever the property is set to. (I have since fixed this by editing the default properties)
More serious; when the Frontpage button is pressed the overlay doesn’t go away - the Frontpage editor goes away leaving the overlay.This is consistent over browsers and no error is given.
I do have colorbox in my page (and thus jQuery) already. They are latest versions (as of last week).
if I turn on the property(s) loadjQuery and jQueryNoConflict then the editor does not appear (as a small white dot top left) the overlay does.
I notice that your overlay takes over mine (it’s a different opacity) when logged in although when I close my overlay content the overlay stays but clicking on it again closes the overlay.
thanks for any help.
And a suggestion:
IF TInyMCE is already installed then why not use that rather than reinvent the wheel, in particular in the Manager it is straightforward to use the site CSS, in Frontpage to use the site CSS means digging and file duplication throught hacking the theme, hardly ideal.

Frontpage doesn’t support TV editing, just resources, you need BobRays Newspublisher for TV editing I think.

K, I’ll look at this.
The JQuery thing must be a conflict somehow, it was never tested like this(not by me anyway).
F TInyMCE is already installed then why not use that rather than reinvent the wheel,
Because the TinyMCE package that comes with Revo is for backend use, not frontend, its loaded by calls to ExtJs which we don’t have in the front end and its themed for use in the manager although selecting themes and other properties is something we can do better here.
