Weird Newspublisher CSS link

I change my table prefix to "mdb_", and the only place I see that is in config.inc.php inside the core->config folder. However, running Newspublisher, the following line appears in my pages:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="mdb_ASSETS_URLcomponents/newspublisher/css/button.css" type="text/css" />

What's going on here? Does newspublisher somehow create the standard settings that begin with "MODX_" by using the table prefix??? It shouldn't. How else would "mdb_ASSETS_URL" possibly show up here? I didn't globally search and replace anything.

AFAIK, NewsPublisher uses the MODX_ASSETS_URL which should be defined in the config.inc.php file. Is it possible that you changed that constant to mdb_ASSETS_URL? None of the all-caps constants in the file should ever be changed and it's unlikely that MODX changed it.

A search/replace all in the config.inc.php file would certainly do that; if you changed the prefix then edited the config.inc.php file using search/replace all without making sure to respect case it would change a whole lot more than you bargained for! I've done that a time or two myself.

No, as I mentioned I didn't do any search and replace. I just manually changed the table prefix. All the settings in core->config->config.inc.php are "MODX_ . . .", including "MODX_ASSETS_URL". The only place I did a search and replace was in my "code" folder, where I keep the static files I use for some of my snippets, since the sometimes access the database directly. I did a global text search on my entire MODX installation (all 11,000 files) and didn't find "mdb_ASSETS_URL" anywhere.

This line is definitely coming from Newspublisher, because it appears right before "</head>", and I have nothing there in my template. Also, when I edit a page using Newspublisher, other lines get put in correctly, like:

but at the bottom of them all, right before "</head">, is:

OK, I found it. It was in the snippet "NpEditThisButton", on the line that should be

$assetsUrl = $modx->getOption('np.assets_url', null, MODX_ASSETS_URL . 'components/newspublisher/');

That's not even a text file, it's an entry in the snippets table! I have no idea how that got changed. The source for this snippet in your elements->snippets file is correct.

Anyway, at least the mystery is solved (part of it).

I'm glad you got it sorted. Thanks for reporting back.
