Hello everyone,
I'm answering to this post cause I've just had the same problem.
I started a new modx website, created new document pages ( example names: home,contact,projects,etc.) and container page with several blog containers categories ( illustration,design, etc.) with new articles in each blog category. Just for site testing, I tried to import an article from the blog container named "illustration" to another blog container named "design". Well it worked but I somehow imported not the blog articles but all the root documents pages from the document tree ! I could not see the simple documents from the document tree anymore. I discovered that the documents became articles.
So I clicked into the search above the document tree, found the document but could never move them to the root document tree. Here's how I solved the problem:
- search for the document in the search bar by entering the name of the document if you remember it
- right click on the desired document and click on " Quick Update Resource " then on the new window click on settingsand change the class key to document.
- right click again on the document and click on Edit resource and this time you will see the settings tab click on it and and change the parent resource to the one you want to by selecting a node in the tree in the left. I personally selected the root node. That's it.
Important: If you click on "Edit Resource" before doing "Quick Edit Resource" you will not see the Settings tab to change the resource class to document and you won't be able to edit the document and place it back to the tree.
Since the documents were changed to articles, their template changed too, so I had to re-change the template name and even edit the document because I am using the Flexibility theme and the slider on the homepage was not working anymore.
I am glad this happened just in the beginning! I lost some time but at least I didn't have to do that on more than ten documents ! I will not use the import articles tool again before watching some videos ( if theres any about it) or reading more about it.
I'm sure this will help someone !
Cheers!
Merry
