    Hey guys,

    this is a rather strange one; I've installed Revo 2.5 from scratch on a shared host and imported all database tables that I needed (templates,tables,chunks,TVs with all dependent tables) and now the content field of some documents is empty in the manager. Funny thing is, the pages with the empty content field in the manager, display just fine in the front-end. I checked in PHPMyAdmin to see if the content was missing, but nothing was wrong.

    I should point out that it doesn't affect all documents. All other feilds, such as pagetitle,aliss, etc. display are fine.

    I tried the following fixes : Uninstall/disable TinyMCE, reinstall MODX,unsinstall/reinstall all packages, clear the manager cache, manaually empty the core/cache folder, empty the browser cache, try a different browser, but nothing gives.

    I'm currenlty running MODX 5/PHP5.2/MYSQL 5.1.

    I'm running a few other sites on the same host, with the exact same environment no problem

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

      I'd suggest checking the other fields of the resources this happens with against other resources, especially class_key, context_key, content_type and parent.

        Thx Bob for the follow-up. On all pages I checked, these are the settings for class_key, context_key and content_type; respectively:

          Any errors in the error log, or in your browser error console?

            After scratching my head all night, I simply reverted to copying the missing content from the database fields into the manager. Luckily for me, I only had 20 documents to modify since the rest of the content is automatically generated.

            I'm still not sure what went wrong.

            As far as errors, here's a few for anyone else in a similar situation:
