Answered saving a new resource group causes MODx to hang

when I save a resource group in 2.2.10, the 'Please Wait ... Saving' modal dialogue box pops up, the animated loading bar loops, but it never disappears on its own.

when I reload the page, it seems as though the proper group was created, and if I have 'create parallel user group' selected, it also seems to create that properly.

any ideas on where to begin looking?

I've reinstalled MODx and it's still the same.


thanks,

Is there anything in the MODX error log (Reports > Error Log)?

Are there any plugins that might be firing when a group is created?

Yes, I've definitely had plugins hang around after uninstalling their package. The often happens if you had a previous version of the package installed, but I think sometimes it happens without that. It depends on how the package is written.

InheritResourceGroup would be by far the most likely culprit.

Look in the modx_site_plugins table in the DB to see which ones are still there and whether they're disabled.

If you make any changes there, delete all files in the core/cache directory (or install and run CacheClear).

Another possibility is a mismatch between the various date/timezone settings (MODX, PHP, MySQL).

You could also have one or more invalid modResourceGroupResource objects, though I think that's less likely.

SiteCheck will check both the date/timezone and all the modResourceGroupResource objects for you (along with a lot of other things). http://bobsguides.com/sitecheck-tutorial.html
