The next release (0.9.5?)

Another thing is that IE will display a 404 page if a 404 error is sent. This means that the custom 404 page will not be displayed. IMO I think there needs to option in the system config to enable the sending of 404 headers with 404 pages.

Actually, this only happens if the 404 page is smaller than 512 bytes. See Wikipedia. I assume that is to distinguish between simple "404 error" pages and anything with actual content on it. Most MODx 404 pages should be fine as they tend to have the whole template and a sitemap. It may be worth mentioning this in MODx documentation.

Therefore there is no particular need to switch off 404 headers from 404 pages. I trust that shaving this config option off the to-do list brings us one step closer to 0.9.5!

Incidentally, once the 404 system is working and MODx is stable, I fully intend to knock up and contribute a redirects system using 301 headers and redirects to take people from one old page reference to the new location (or one extension and another).

MemberCheck snippet does not work in php4. It’s using a static variable inside the class object.

Now I understand why it worked locally and not on my hosting, I was puzzled but you just solved it for me !
Happily, I just switched my dedicated server to PHP 5.1.4 I’ll give it another try then...

It should work fine if you just change the keyword static to var -- let me know if that doesn’t fix it and I’ll rework it so that it does.

If it helps, I had to make one additional change to MemberCheck a while back to get it working under php4. Modification can be found here.

Garry... know anything about our new repository where you can add new releases?

LOL ... well, now you mention it ...

To be honest, I’d completely forget about this one! Consider my wrist slapped

Actually, I just realized that fix you provided garryn is incorrect, as it does not allow it to work with multiple instances per page. I believe the self:: calls simply need to become MemberCheck:: and it will work as the original did.

Thanks Jason, duly noted.

@Paul,

Thanks for the update. I’m sure I had tried it beforeand IE returned a 404 Will try it again at some other point in time.

@Jason,

Yes, changing to var will do the trick in php4

@Garry,

self:: is a php5 only feature (I think)

Re "IE not showing 404": Other reports suggest 1024 bytes. If there’s still an issue, then I’d rather we built in user agent checking to disable the 404 header for IE users rather than have a "are IE users more important than Google" switch.

Important question, as it affects what I write today: Does 0.9.5 make chunks editable?

EDIT: Editable in QuickEdit, that is. Also, will it be possible in 0.9.5 to have a QuickEdit-only login that cannot access the Manager?
