I just loaded Janitor v1.5-beta over MODX Revolution 2.2.6-pl.
In the absence of an auto-generated thread for topic Support/Comments for Janitor 1.5-beta, I'll start a new one here.
First to S Hamblett - thanks for your efforts! I hope he or someone else can find time to look into the minor issues below for a v1.6 beta.
Admins should definitely check the UserGuide.pdf under /assets/components/janitor/docs.
Where is it?
1) I saw a note in the "Support/Comments for Janitor 1.4-beta" thread asking about where to find Janitor in the ModX Manager menu. Yeah, I accidentally found it under menu>Components>Janitor. Clicking that option we get the friendly Welcome page.
Links
The link check goes through each resource and reports:
Error "
http://modx.mydomain/index.php?id=22" not found in command line
2a) That looks like it's cursively checking resources for references to themselves. It's giving the same error on every resource. I need to look at this more closely.
2b) It doesn't say which line it found that link in. "...in command line" ?
The link check did find a few things that I didn't expect, like my reference to Twitter was using https rather than http. Hey, that's great.
2c) I think it's up to the admin to go to /assets/components/janitor/tmp and periodically clean out the results of link checks. It would be nice to have a way to auto-cleanup tmp files like this after some period of time. Um, I guess this is what the Events tab will have at some point.
Search
The search is a nice Revo upgrade from the original DocFinder. Wow, I'm going to use this a Lot.
3a) When you click on a resource, the entire manager is re-opened into the current sub-window. This causes a duplication of your left-margin navigation. I believe those links should all have a target=blank attribute. It will unfortunately reload the page but I don't think there is a built-in way to do this with Ajax yet. Or maybe if it could just target the inner window under the manager menu. I'm just documenting this so everyone knows and someone can look at it.
Database, Backup, etc
It's nice to have access to helpful components in a single download, but the price we pay for this is that the components are now outdated. It doesn't look like the releases included here have critical issues fixed by successors, that's the sort of problem we face with this. My personal stance on this is simply not to use the database/backup functions for now. Maybe this will be addressed in a production release, at least in documentation with notes about how to upgrade various components.
Thanks again.
