    Please please please can anybody help... I am having massive issues trying to get articles to install and work without error.

    I have trawled the forums and I have followed the advice for similar issues but nothing I try seems to work. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, installed each individual package before articles itself.

    archivist 1.2.4 installed without error
    getpage 1.2.3 installed without error
    getResources 1.5.1 installed without error
    taglister 1.1.7 installed wityhout errors
    Quip 2.3.3 installed with errors: Most of these are outlined in https://forums.modx.com/forums/thread/75767/articles-problem#dis-post-419665 (basically due to the database being already structured for Quip from my previous install attempt). But I do get:

    Could not load class: quipNotifyComment from mysql.quipnotifycomment.
Could not load class: quipNotifyComment from mysql.quipnotifycomment.


    So - installing articles, I get a huge output file of errors. I have attached it as it is 40 pages long - but most of it seems to be the license file regurgitated in red... But the start of the errors are:

    /*

    Now - articles seems to be working despite the errors and I can set up a new articles container with no problem. BUT when I add an article it does not appear in the management console so you cannot see, edit, publish, delete, etc... although they will (if published on creation) appear on the front end itself.

    I have checked and cache, import, export, packages have write access from the IUSR account.

    Please, if anybody can help - I am running out of patience and my brain is melting...

    Many thanks in advance.

    p.s. The only Other addons I am using without problem are: CodeMirror and EasyBreadcrumb.

    I have even tried in desperation a complete new install of Modx.

      I've been having the same issue, seems to install ok though but when I add an article it doesn't appear in the articles list, I've tried using modx 2.25 as well as 2.26 and the problem seems to exist on both modx versions.

        I've just tried re-installing all associated extras within the package management area, articles, quip, getpage, archivist and taglister. after re-installing all it seems to work on Modx 2.25 however trying the same thing on 2.26 doesn't fix this issue.
