    I have had this issue before with installing packages and needed to clear the core/cache every time i wanted to install a package, but is this the case on a new install and is there a way around this?
    I've attached a screen shot of my core/cache files (after the articles install)

    Thanks for any help

      You can ignore those errors.

          Hi, did you find a workaround for this? I'm seeing same errors on a fresh install of both v2.2.7-pl and v2.3.0 nightly. 'Create an Article Here' option not present in the Resources context 'Create' submenu.

          Submitted the issue to tracker.modx.com a few weeks ago but yet to receive a reply...

          Any help very welcome! [ed. note: craigphiz last edited this post 13 years, 5 months ago.]

            craigphiz, as splittingred posted above, the errors posted in this thread can be safely ignored. They basically mean that the fields it was trying to create (as part of the update script) already exist. If you're having issues they are unrelated to "Duplicated column name" errors.

            I just looked up your issue at http://tracker.modx.com/issues/9890 and highlighted what could cause the problem from your console download. Unfortunately I don't know what would cause that validator to fail...

              Thanks for your reply Mark! It inspired me to try a few more things... I installed Archivist & GetResources first and then Articles ('Successful' with lots of errors). Now 'Create Articles Here' appears in the context menu. Attempted to create a blog container with default settings. When clicking Save '...manager/resource/update' was not found. The Blog container shows in Manager but nothing appears on the right side when the Blog container is selected.

              Any ideas?

              PS Created a ModxCloud (free Lab account) with Revo v2.2.7-pl and Articles installed and is working well. Hmmm... Any help very welcome. Thank you!
