    I have been working on getting my Articles Container page to work to no avail; this is what I have in the content area:

    [[+articles]]
    
    [[!+page.nav:notempty=`
    <div class='paging'>
    	<ul class='pageList'>
    		[[+paging]]
    	</ul>
    </div>
    `]]


    Yet none of the posts in the ArticleRowTpl are showing up at all.

    Checking logs, I keep getting this error message:

    ERROR @ /assets/components/articles/connector.php

    I have been searching and found no answer for this...can anyone provide any insight?

    Thanks!

      Is that the full error message? It should give some clue about what the problem is.

          The first thing to try is deleting all the files in the core cache directory.

          If that doesn't work, try uninstalling and removing Articles, deleting all files in the core/cache directory (again), and re-downloading and re-installing Articles.

          Also, make sure your core/cache directory is writable.

            Did all of the above...that got rid of the error log, but still not working-I did get this error:

            [2015-04-09 06:13:55] (ERROR @ /assets/components/articles/connector.php) Path specified for package quip is not a valid or accessible directory: /home/jhcbiinoc/public_html/core/components/quip/model/

              Maybe Quip didn't get installed with Articles.

                As much as I tried, I had so many issues with Articles that I eventually elected not to use it and to follow the Blog Tutorial here:

                http://rtfm.modx.com/revolution/2.x/case-studies-and-tutorials/creating-a-blog-in-modx-revolution

                It is coming together well so far, aside from an issue with Quip that I posted n the appropriate thread. Once I get those issues resolved, then it is just a matter of figuring out what I can do for an image slider and photo gallery solution that will work with the Foundation 5 framework.

                  Are you using MODX 2.3.x? If so, I would suggest the following setup:

                  Collections for the blog post container
                  pdoTools for the pdoResources/pdoPage snippets to do the listing of posts/pagination links
                  Use Disqus for commenting - it's better than handling commenting using Quip and can be included easily in a page.

                  For gallery I would suggest: MoreGallery from ModMore - it's excellent. As for Image slider, there's a billion of them and most will let you use (almost) your own markup.
