There is ment to be text in the gray field in the middle of the page?

Paste the code that you're referring to. Surround it with tags so we can see it -- use the code button on the toolbar.

This?

The code you pasted above would never work unless you had a TV named "<span data-scayt_word="introtext" data-scaytid="1">introtext</span>"

I suspect you want:

The only thing you can put inside a tag like that is the name of a content field (e.g. introtext, pagetitle, etc.) or the name of a Template Variable.

Do you know what was there originally?

To change what gets output there, you need to edit the content field or the TV or change what's outside of the tag.

I think what you probably want is this:

originally it was just text that i deleted within the mod x manager in the intro field and replaced with my own txt

<p><span data-scayt_word="introtext" data-scaytid="1">[*introtext*]</span></p>

That line of code is only for the page heading, which should be "Parts". So what you should have in the resource's 'introtext' fields is just Parts. The grey area is in this line of code and most probably meant to be taken from the resource's main Content field.


You cannot change the actual HTML and MODx tags of those HTML elements from the resource's editing fields, that is in the template. The template probably looks like this:


So what you put in the 'summary (introtext)' field when editing the resource will appear where the [*introtext*] tag appears, and the resource's content will appear where the [*content*] tag appears. Usually you don't want to mess with the template; just put the heading you want in the summary or introtext field, and put the content the page should be showing in the grey section in the main content field.
