hi,
i was about to say the same as breezer, some server are very slow to retreive the rss feeds, i recently had the same issue and deleting the two feeds made things normal again
i would just add a little thing, if you only empty the two rss links in the config you manager will throw errors (not visible if not in a debuging tool but it's never a good thing)
in order to have it work without errors you should comment those lines (as shown)
// include rss feeds for important forum topics
/*
include_once "rss.inc.php";
// modx news
$modx->setPlaceholder('modx_news',$_lang["modx_news_tab"]);
$modx->setPlaceholder('modx_news_title',$_lang["modx_news_title"]);
$modx->setPlaceholder('modx_news_content',$feedData['modx_news_content']);
// security notices
$modx->setPlaceholder('modx_security_notices',$_lang["security_notices_tab"]);
$modx->setPlaceholder('modx_security_notices_title',$_lang["security_notices_title"]);
$modx->setPlaceholder('modx_security_notices_content',$feedData['modx_security_notices_content']);
*/
in manager/actions/welcome.static.php (line 87)
and these
<!-- modx news
<div class="tab-page" id="tabNews" style="padding-left:0; padding-right:0">
<h2 class="tab">[+modx_news+]</h2>
<script type="text/javascript">tpPane.addTabPage( document.getElementById( "tabNews" ) );</script>
<div class="sectionHeader">[+modx_news_title+]</div><div class="sectionBody">
[+modx_news_content+]
</div>
</div>
<!-- security notices
<div class="tab-page" id="tabSecurityNotices" style="padding-left:0; padding-right:0">
<h2 class="tab">[+modx_security_notices+]</h2>
<script type="text/javascript">tpPane.addTabPage( document.getElementById( "tabSecurityNotices" ) );</script>
<div class="sectionHeader">[+modx_security_notices_title+]</div><div class="sectionBody">
[+modx_security_notices_content+]
</div>
</div>
in assets/template/manager/welcome.html (line 54)
as you can see just unclose the two comments will do the job
then your manager will be happy and won't throw errors anymore
have swing
