    I wanted to move the Content field to a new tab.

    It’s not possible by default. I modified /functions/fields.inc.php on line 236 to fix it.

    <?php 
    //I changed FROM this
    
    		// Go through each field that has been supplied
    		foreach ($fields as $field) {
    
    			switch ($field) {
    			
    				// We can't move these fields because they belong in a particular place
    				case 'keywords':
    				case 'metatags':
    				case 'which_editor':
    				case 'content':
    				case 'hidemenu':
    				case 'show_in_menu':
    				case 'menuindex':
    					// Do nothing
    				break;
    


    <?php
    //I changed to this
    
    		// Go through each field that has been supplied
    		foreach ($fields as $field) {
    
    			switch ($field) {
                    
                    //Try something new
                    case 'content':
                        $output .= "jQuery('#content_body').appendTo('#tab{$newtab}');";
                        $output .= "jQuery('#content_header').hide();";
                        //$output .= "var content_body = jQuery('#content_body'); console.log(content_body);";
                    break;
                    
    				// We can't move these fields because they belong in a particular place
    				case 'keywords':
    				case 'metatags':
    				case 'which_editor':
    				//case 'content':
    				case 'hidemenu':
    				case 'show_in_menu':
    				case 'menuindex':
    					// Do nothing
    				break;

              i altered my fields.inc.php file to be able to move ’content’ to a new tab, however it appears below all the other tvs i move into that tab. do you know of a way i can make it appear before the tvs?

              here’s my managermanager chunk (or at least the relevant part):
              ######################
              ## MOVE PAGE CONTENT TO SEPARATE TAB
              ######################
              mm_createTab('Page Content','pageContentTab'); // MOVE CONTENT TO TAB
              
              mm_moveFieldsToTab('content', 'pageContentTab');
              
              mm_moveFieldsToTab('sidebox1_body','pageContentTab');
              mm_moveFieldsToTab('sidebox1_title','pageContentTab');
              mm_moveFieldsToTab('sidebox2_body','pageContentTab');
              mm_moveFieldsToTab('sidebox2_title','pageContentTab');
              mm_moveFieldsToTab('sidebox3_body','pageContentTab');
              mm_moveFieldsToTab('sidebox3_title','pageContentTab');


              i would like the "Page Content" tab to have:
              content
              sidebox1_title
              sidebox2_body
              etc...

              however it puts ’content’ at the bottom, which i could deal with, but some of my editors might blow a gasket if they had to scroll down for what "should" be at the top.

                It is on GitHub - http://github.com/ncrossland/ManagerManager

                I’ve not used GitHub before so any suggestions on whether I’ve got it set up correctly would be welcome.

                    ncrossland - managermanager is one of my favorite add-ons to modx. it does some terrific stuff, and i don’t implement a single site without using it to some level. thank you so much for creating it.
