    hello, everyone,

    I am a beginner to MODx and work for a MODx project right now.

    I have a question.

    There are 2 websites in the project.

    But ...when I login to the admin manager,

    I just see one website folders.
    The other website folders says empty.

    It shows "This folder is empty."
    like this ....
    us:
    .... (many folders here)
    ...
    ....
    other :
    This folder is empty

    Is something wrong ?
    Is this normal ?

    please help me.
    thank you in advance.

      Those "folders" are just documents that are marked as being parents (or containers). If they originally have children, but the children are moved or deleted, then the parent will still be marked as being a folder, but won’t have any children. Other than that, there is no practical difference between a document that is a folder and one that is not.

        hi, sottwell,

        thank you very much for your replying.

        and....

        then how can I access to the website whose admin says "this folder is empty".
        just check which document is its children document ?

        thank y

          If it say the folder is empty, then there are no documents with that folder as their parent. There are no documents to access. The Document Tree is a graphical representation of documents and their parent/child relationsips in a single table (site_content) of the database for that installation of MODx; it does not display documents in other databases belonging to other websites.

          Perhaps first I need to understand what it is you mean by "two websites".
