    Hi,

    I'm hoping someone can help me with a problem I'm having with the manager/admin area in Revo 2.2.6.

    Our hosts have moved our site on to a new server as the one we were previously on is now unsuported. When they moved us accross it caused some problems with accessing the modX manager area but this was largely down to the incorrect settings for suhosin and a couple of other bits.

    In the meantime we also decided to try and upgrade from 2.2.6 to 2.3 but this caused lots of problems. I think possibly due to the site using lots of add ons like Articles e.t.c. For whatever reason it just didn't seem to work so, I reverted back to 2.2.6. Now everything is back to normal apart from the menu links within manager. I'm guessing these how somehow been messed up as they are all linking to the incorrect resources/pages.

    For example: if I click Security -> Manage Users , the link is ?a=53 which takes me to the Manage Dashboards page.
    if I click System -> Package Management , the link is ?a=68 and this takes me the About Modx.

    Has anyone encountered this before and is it possible to fix it?

    System Details:

    Linux x86_64
    Apache 2.2.26
    PHP 5.3.28
    MySQL 5.5.40-cll

    Modx 2.2.6
    Addons used Articles 1.6.5, Archivist 1.2.4, Discuss 1.2, Getpage 1.2.3, Getresources 1.6.0, Quip 2.3.2, Wayfinder

      In the older version, each Manager Action has an ID, which is what you see in the URL. In the new version, they are accessed by name. It sounds like the IDs in the modx_manager_actions table got shuffled when you reverted.

      Running setup in upgrade mode might fix it. I don't think so, but it's worth a try.

      If you have a 2.2.6 backup somewhere, you could drop the modx_manager_actions table, export it from the backup, and import it.

      If that's not possible, you could create a new install of 2.2.6, export that table, drop the table in your db and import the one from the new site.

        Thanks BobRay.

        Put me on the correct path.

        I think when I re installed the 2.2.6 it messed up those menu's. In the end I dropped the entire database and then recreated it using my latest backup.

        All seems to be working fine now.

        Thanks.
