Log-In, Log-Out not working right...

Ok, so I’m still somewhat new to ModX (I pretty much understand what’s needed ’cept creating and using my own TVs). Now I had a snippet call for reg. weblogin before, but I switched it WebLoginPE. For some reason now whenever I go to log-in or log-out, nothing happens. I have no idea as to why. I’m on bluehost, here’s my call:


You guys have any idea of what’s wrong with it? Is it the templates I made? I just pretty much copied, pasted, and took out sections I didn’t want (or felt safe deleting).

Ok, rule #2 of snippet use: Any time it’s interactive you have to call it uncached:

What happens is that the first time the page is requested, it displays the form, the whole page is cached, so when the form is submitted the page is requested again, only it is taken from cache instead of being processed, so the snippet is never run again to process the POST values.

When a snippet is called uncached the page is taken from cache, but the snippet is run again anyway, and its output added to the page.

And what is rule #1, you may ask? Use backticks `...` instead of quote marks ’...’ on the snippet parameter values.

hmm...So what do I have to do to make it uncached? I’m sorta confused cuz I was using the back ticks like you said...

Change the inside [ and ] to !. That forces MODx to call the snippet uncached.

I think Sottwell has forgot to mention the rule #0! 
Always Check for the differences in the code tags mentioned!
see any difference b/w the code you mentioned and the one sottwell did? 

hah, now I do. Thanks guys, but I’m stil having a few probs... In Firefox it’s still not working correctly for logging-out and sometimes logging in...Also, when it does work it loads the chunk just saying "welcome back" and then loads again to say "Welcome Back [[user]] (or watever the actual thing is, i forget at the sec)".

Got any tips?

Didn’t face it but it might be FF’s cache thing!, try to ctrl+shift+del (so you make sure that the cache is clear) before refreshing the page.

IIRC, doesn’t Ctrl+F5 also "clean" out the cache and forces the browser to load the page as a blank slate?

Well, as of personal experience it doesn’t, even with the cache storage set to 0mb!, found it out a seconds before getting mad in a middle of testing some Js & CSS results! :-]

hmm, so how do I go about getting it to work? Because it’s been very annoying for me to try and debug this site with that going on.
