TV's for varying page layouts

Well, you can reorder just by drag/drop the items in the grid.

Ahhh, good to know that this is possible with ExtJS. Then drop position and add a placeholder-fake-hidden value seems resonable

Just added the completed Tutorial to the MIGX-Documentation here: http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/MIGX.Varying+layout-boxes

@ Bruno17

Thank your fot this tutorial, it was just what I was looking for. I have a few (newbee) questions though.

In the Multi Column MGX tv Form Tabs there are a lot of hidden tv's. I was just wondering why they are there? It's not possible to leave them out?

Another question is that in your tutorial you have three layouts, 1, 2 and 3 columns. Is this the best way tot go if you want more layout options like 2 columns with other width's. First column 1/3 and the second 2/3. Or 1/4 and 3/4. And those can also be turned around: 2/3 - 1/3 and 3/4 - 1/4.
Instead of 3 options someone would have 7 options. I'd have to make 7 chunks, etc. Just curious what tot do...

Last question (for now) is that if I edit my columns content with the richtext I sometimes use the html button to add/remove something. After clicking "done" it doesn't get saved. I have to click somewhere outside the text editor in the MGX/Multicolumn popup and hit Ctrl + S to save it. Then click done and save the resource.

I'm using MODX Revolution 2.2.0-pl2 (traditional) and I hope this all makes sense. If not, please let me know...

The form tabs are broken in 2.2.6 -

• In the two cell choice there is an unlabeled field.
• In the three cell boxes, the first and second don't have the correct fields.
• The two "missing" fields are displayed below the resource content field.

Ok, more-or-less fixed it by fixing the form tabs; in the section for two cells
Needed to change the "hidden" to "hiddenTV".


Still get intermittent bad fields in two and three cell forms, with the actual fields displayed below the resource content, but a page refresh usually fixes it.

Updated the Tutorial.
Removed the part for creating inputTVs and used inputTVtype for all input-types.

I couldn't reproduce the issue with displaying the fields below the resource-content.
But I'm using the latest package from github.
Not sure, if that matters.

There is also an altertative way by using the MIGX-configuration.
I will add this alternative way to the Tutorial, too.

This is the MIGX - configurator - version (only the differences) of the Tutorial

Hi, in combination with TinyMCE this doesn't work for me, if I disable the richtext fields, it works fine, but there seems to be some kind of bug when TinyMCE is used with this setup or in combination with MIGX.
Anyone experienced this problem?

Already installed a previous version of TinyMCE and I'm using Revo 2.2.8

After a long search, downgrading modx, downgrading TinyMCE, downgrading MIGX, it finally works, it definitely doesn't work with the latest MIGX Version!

My setup at the moment: Modx 2.2.8, TinyMCE 4.3.3 and MIGX 2.4.2

I'm not that eager to downgrade or upgrade packages when my sites are live, so any suggestions? Did anyone get this to work with all the latest packages?
