    When I install Evo 1.0.4. it works fine. I am using it in a php 5.3.4 centOS environment.

    However i fail to upgrade to this version:
    http://modxcms.com/extras/package/541
    QuickManager+ 1.5.3-GA

    Afterwards QuickManager+ does not show up in my frontend and whenever I click on edit or save document i get a modal box with the error:
    Quick Manager+ - OnDocFormPrerender
An error occurred while loading. Please see the event log for more information.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_NS_SEPARATOR, expecting T_STRING in /home/*****/domains/*****.com/public_html/manager/includes/document.parser.class.inc.php(746) : eval()'d code on line 10

    I have attached a screenshot of this.

    I used instructions that come with its readme ( assets/plugins/qm/readme.html )
    -upload assets folder overwriting existing files
    -pasted plugin code in snippet called QuickManager+
    -checked the events listed
    -saved the plugin

    It is probably just because I’ve missed something rather then a bug.

      You doing just the right steps, so this error is a mystery to me.

      Can you provide more info about your environment: Version of MODx, Server OS, Server Version, PHP Version, MySQL Version (client and server)

      I suggest you to try one more time:
      - Selete assets/plugins/qm -folder
      - Delete QuickManager+ plugin from MODx manager
      - Try again to install QuickManager+

        One more thing...

        Did you also do the step "5. Copy paste plugin default configuration"?

          Yes, I did copy paste the plugin default configuration from the readme.

          I just tried again on a seperate user account on my server. Complete fresh evo installation to empty db on empty public_html folder. After Evo install i deleted QM from filesystem and through the MODx interface like you proposed.

          Still no luck!

          As this is a test install i could pm you a manager login if you want to see for yourself.

          My config is:
          CentOS release 5.5 (Final)
          PHP 5.3.4
          MySQL Server version: 5.1.54
          MySQL Client version: 5.1.54

              I did some more research and this could be a magic quotes issue.

              If magic quotes is on I suggest you to disable them since they can cause all kinds of weird problems with MODx:

                100% correct, this server had it enabled rolleyes. Disabled it and repasted the plugin code. Now it works like a charm. Thanks a bunch! smiley

                  Great! I’ll add this info for the readme file too.
