  Hey All,
  
  I have been playing around with the ManagerManager plugin and think I have it pretty much under control, but I have a question and have not found the answer elsewhere in this thread. So first, sorry if it has already been answered elsewhere.
  
  Can the main MODx Site, Resources, Tools, Security, Reports, tabs be edited with ManagerManager. For example. I would like to create just one main tab for certain roles that has only the navigation of it that I want them to be able to view. Is this possible with MM?
  
  If not, is there another way to do this without modifying the core code?
  
  Thanks,
  
  Bryan

  Sorry for acting really stupid here, but I just can’t figure out how to use this Plugin.     :-\  I know MODx quite well, but here I met the wall. Is it possible to ask for some explanations and maybe some more examples. Please. 
  
  

  
  
  Here is another clueless soul who couldn’t quite figure how to use this seemingly wonderful Plugin  , and have finally made a little progress after reading through the entire thread.
  
  Right now my need is very very simple. I only want to hide most documents from a user (ID2). I have managed to hide the templates with this :
  
  mm_hideTemplates(’4,6,7,8’, ’2’);
  
  What I want is, when this user (ID2) logs in, she can only see 2 documents (0, 15 for example) and these are the pages she can edit in the content area.
  
  I don’t see the document fieldname listed in the MM readme file that I can use. The ’mm_hideFields’ will work for ’Document’s alias’ but this is not hiding the document correct? I don’t see a ’mm_hideDocument’.
  
  Thanks!

  I don’t think that MM has any effect over the document tree (I could be wrong).

  Dev_cw is correct, if you want to hide documents within the document tree, you should use Modx’s user groups.
  
  mm_hideTemplates will hide specified templates from the "templates" dropdown when you’re editing a document.

  No, at the moment you can only modify the document editing page.
  
  I don’t think the Modx event API extends to the manager tabs, so you would have to modify the core code.

  Correct, but thankfully the menu frames are pretty straightforward to modify.

  Function setVariableModified was removed in 0.9.6.1, so some functionality in widgets showimagetvs, colors not working in last MODx.
  

  
  I’ve worked round this by instead of explicitly trying to set the "dirty" variables, just to use jQuery to fire a "change" event on the field - so it runs whatever JS your version of ModX happens to have attached to the field.

  Hi,
  
  When moving pub_date from Settings tab to General tab, selection of a date doesn’t work. I click a date in the calendar, but the date isn’t added to the field.
  
  Firebug show this error :
  
  

  obj_caller.txt_target has no properties
  [Break on this error] : obj_caller.gen_date(dt_datetime)

  
  
  in calendar.html li 87
  
  Anyone gets the same issue ?
  

  Hi Perrine
  
  This issue is fixed in upcoming 0.3 version.

  I noticed some strange behavior when using IE IE7 only all the moved tv’s (moved them to a tab look good when I press the tab but when i move my mouse the fields are gone.
  In ff it works flawless.
  
  does anyone else have the same experience?
  
  I have it on 3 instalations on 3 different servers one running 0951 one 096 and 0961

  Hi Dimmy
  
  It was an obscure IE bug (didn’t like moving table cells with an inline style declaring it’s position to be relative, which TV fields have, but other fields don’t). It is fixed in the upcoming 0.3 release.

  I’m pleased to attach a second preview version of ManagerManager 0.3
  
  Main changes are:
  * functions code has been split up - that one file was getting a bit cumbersome!
  * several more Javascript bugs fixed
  * setting up the rules is now done outside of the plugin code -- either via a chunk, or through an uploaded file (whichever is most convenient for you.
  
  This version is (as far as I have tested it) the most stable yet -- consider this a beta version -- please report any bugs!
  
  PLEASE NOTE: Read the upgrade instructions, as you have to move your rules to the new location (chunk or file).
