Help with Customizing the Manager Theme

    Hi,

    I could use some help with trying to customize the Manager theme. I’ve been following the directions in this wiki: http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/Customizing_the_Manager_Homepage

    Unfortunately, it’s not working.

    1. I am able to create the links, but when you click on one that I’ve created it doesn’t show the resource content section, nor the TV section.

    2. I’ve setup security permissions for the editor role, which when I login to test these new links, says I do not have permission to create a resource here. But if I right-click on the container that corresponds to the quick link, and select create new resource it does it just fine.

    I am using the following format for my quick links:

    /manager/index.php?a=27&pid=26
/manager/index.php?a=27&pid=50


    I followed the directions for getting the correct links from the wiki. The "a=27" variable never changes for me for some reason, and the id’s I changed to "pid" plus the corresponding id.

    Any suggestions? I really appreciate the help!

      Figured it out...for some reason. a=27 should be a=4. When I went through the tutorial again the variable changed to a=4...

        The list of available "actions" are to be found in the /manager/index.php file.
            case "27" :
        // get the mutate page for changing content
        include_once "header.inc.php";
        include_once "actions/mutate_content.dynamic.php";
        include_once "footer.inc.php";
    break;
    case "4" :
        // get the mutate page for adding content
        include_once "header.inc.php";
        include_once "actions/mutate_content.dynamic.php";
        include_once "footer.inc.php";
    break;

          Thanks Sottwell...makes sense what I was doing wrong now. Everything works great...thanks!

            Even though they both load the "mutate_content" script, the a=27 or a=4 value determines how the form generation is handled.

              Cool...This definitely helps with making it easier as a deliverable to clients. Thanks again!
