  That's right.
  
  The solution was close to MODx page with errors. rest on the conscience of the creator as well as add programmer collecting site.
  
  Everything else relates generally to security in site building and just use the internet

  @Stefanie, I downloaded the files from the link you posted yesterday and installed on my local setup. I ran into some problems, starting with the missing sitePublishing.idx.php file, and including some bad behaviour to do with Save.
  
  I was looking for somewhere to post issues, but there's no link for this that I can see (as an absolute beginner with GitHub). My own little test repository had an issue tracker by default, it seems. Should/could your Evo repo have one?
  :) KP

  I know that the cache files are not in that branch. I've to change some in the gitignore for the caching files.
  
  But I can do this not today, thanks to Android I can follow the forums.
  I will check the issues on Github. You can also send me a mail with detailed information, please don't forget to mentithe name of the branch.

  Something that I would like to see on next releases of MODX Evolution is an option to group Template Variables. Now you can group them by category, but these categories are NOT visibile when you edit a resource, so the user can't understand when one group finishes and when another starts. Sometimes, for example, I make set of TVs like this:
  

  TVimg1, TVtextarea1, TVdropdown1,
  TVimg2, TVtextarea2, TVdropdown2
  TVimg3, TVtextarea3, TVdropdown3

  
  
  And if the fields are similar it is difficult to recognize when you're editing the next set of TVs.
  
  I will add the design for some kind of "box grouping" on the Manager Theme. See the example in the attachment.
  
  What do you think? [ed. note: microcipcip last edited this post 14 years, 4 months ago.]

  I think that this is really cool idea. I wanted this feature for years!

  This is, like the MODX TV. Specially, repeatable field is interesting.

  You can use ManagerManager to create new tabs, and then put whatever fields you want into those tabs. That's how YAMS works; it creates TVs for each language, then puts those TVs into separate tabs for each language group.
  
  You could create a new MM extension to automatically add TVs to a specified tab according to its group.

  I think this is different, I am talking about visually separate TVs sets when editing a Resource.

  Yes I already do this, but I still think that when you add many TVs it is difficult to spot the difference from one set to another. A box with a title that wraps a set of TVs would be a step further in usability.
