RESOLVED: Basic Tutorial please - How many times do we have to ask?

Anyway, I assure you that what I pasted above is exactly what’s in the files.
As, I said I did exactly what Jacob instructed above.

I just made a clean install of webloginpe and followed Jacobs instructions exactly and for me it works fine.

So the instruction is correct as far as I can see.

EDIT: Are you sure the snippet call is not converted to html entities? If it is I believe the output would be just the call in plain text.

A shot in the dark here, but have you tried different browsers to reproduce this error?

How would I tell, and what would I do about it if it is?

I don’t think it is, as I’ve just tried something else on the page and that works fine.

I’ll say iy again, this is how I’ve written the call

[!WebLoginPE? &type=`simple`!]

Is there anything missing?

PS yes I’ve tried a different browser, same result.

Under "Document content" you could select "none" as editor. Check if the snippet call looks ok there.

Also, if not already done, try putting a few more snippet calls (for ditto, jot and so on) on the same page and see if they work.

I suspect either this is the case or it was copied from a tutorial running on a MODx page where the code is written as the following so the MODx parser won’t interpret it:



Turn off your rich text editor and copy/paste the snippet call exactly as seen here or post up a link to the page in question. The latter suggestion usually helps tremendously when troubleshooting (along with your environment information of course).

OK,

tried another snippet, the AJAX Search and that works fine, regardless of whether the Rich Text Editor is on or off.

The page is on my dev server on my desktop, so I can’t give you a link.

I’ve tried it both Firefox and IE (latest versions) I have it running on a WAMP set up.

This is all that’s on the page:

[!WebLoginPE? &type=`simple`!]

and it comes out like this:

[[WebLoginPE? &type=`simple`]]

OK screenshots of the back end and final page attached.

The call must be comming from another source?

If you make your call as this:

test1[!WebLoginPE? &type=`simple`!]test2

Is the result on the page

test1[[WebLoginPE? &type=`simple`]]test2

or is it

[[WebLoginPE? &type=`simple`]] without the numbers? Or perhaps the numbers are there but on the same side of the call like test1test2?

It *has* to be coming from somewhere else. It wouldn’t appear cached like that if you called it uncached.

I get

test1[[WebLoginPE? &type=`simple`]]test2

Look, really big thanks to all you guys help. It’s getting late down here, so I’ll sign ioff for now. Be back in 8 hours to carry on.

This is only my third day with MODx, but I am making progress of sorts.
