Cannot See or Apply Categories

hi

i Cannot See or Apply Categories after i create them.

what should i do?

thanks!

version of MODx ?
What are you doing exactly ?
Cheers

2.2, like the name of this forum.

Right-click Categories in element tree, pick New Category, type name, click save.

It does not appear under the Category node.

Edit a chunk, and try to apply same. It's not listed in the category drop-down.

Again Right-click Categories in element tree, pick New Category, type SAME name. Modx says "that category already exists.".

But it's still not listed under the Categories node. [ed. note: johnywhy last edited this post 14 years, 6 months ago.]

Hi Johnny
//similar bug i had
u found another modx bug .sometimes even a resource not showing in tree and when u create it again it gives u error..it happens mostly when u change template while creating resource may be modx not saving the category completely or...cache not sure

can you try to create another category and see if it working like expected
also check modx_categories and its related modx_categories_closure table and see ur category exist..just to find more details about the issue

Regards

Did you try turning off the compress_js and compress_css System Settings?

tried it. Did not help.

Does it matter if this site was recently upgraded to 2.2? Could there be something funky in the upgrade? Or a permission issue?

It does seem to be a bug.

Look in the DB in the modx_site_content table, and if you see any resources that have a class_key of mod_resource, change it to modDocument. Also, make sure that no resource is its own parent (IOW, make sure the 'id' field and the 'parent' field don't match).


Some people have also reported problems when the date/timezone system setting doesn't match the system, PHP, and MySQL settings, though none have reported your particular problem, so it does usually have to do with saving categories.

done there was one, called "Thank You page".

changing it did not fix the category problem.

why was it set to modResource if it should be modDocument?

thanks!

That was probably the fault of SPForm, which created the page incorrectly in the install. In earlier versions of Revolution, it didn't make any difference, and in most cases, it still doesn't, but I thought it was worth a shot.

Be sure to manually delete all the files in the core/cache directory and clear your browser cache and cookies if you haven't already.

If none of that works, it's time to mess with the date/timezone setting.

Maybe it's time to reinstall modx? Doesn't this problem indicate a problem with my installation? Could there not be other problems lurking?
