2.2.0-pl2, cannot change template on new resource, console errors

Exactly. It reverts to the original template. And far as I can tell it's the ONLY issue I'm having with MODx. With Revo 2.1, when changing templates I would get "An error occurred while duplicating the resource". So after upgrading I've just replaced one problem with another.

I had this problem and fixed it by checking the phpinfo ( Reports -> System Info -> phpinfo ). Look for the Default Timezone. I copied this to the Modx system setting, I'm actually 1 hour ahead of that time so I added a +1 to the server_offset_time setting. I did empty the core/cache folder. Flushed permissions and it worked.

I did check the variables in MySQL and time zone there is set to SYSTEM. That's what it should be I think.

If it's something else maybe try a php.ini file in the root of Modx with:



or whatever. Make sure that matches the setting in Modx.

Anyway this worked for me. Was very frustrating for a while though.

phpinfo:
Default timezone = America/Toronto.
date.timezone = America/Toronto

MySQL is set to SYSTEM.
MODx System Info shows Server Time and Local Time match.

I again added America/Toronto to the MODx system setting, manually cleared core/cache, flushed permissions, flushed sessions, tried to change template...it reverts back. The problem must be something other than this timezone stuff.

Did you try turning off compress_js and compress_css in the System Settings?

PLEASE, PLEASE specify the version of MODX you are using . . . PLEASE!
MODx info for everyone: http://bobsguides.com/modx.html

If trying the custom php.ini file, those have to go in the directory where the .php script is running. For MODx, that means you need one in the /manager/ directory to deal with its index.php.

I'm having the exact same issue, a fresh installation of 2.2.0-pl2, unable to change Template for a Resource because it reverts back to BaseTemplate. It is not a timezone issue for sure,

MySQL settings
system time zone = CET
time zone = SYSTEM





Cleared the cache, turned off compression, tried IE and Firefox. Did a full reinstall, nothing.

I did. I had to do this to fix this problem:

This is a different issue and does not fix the problem with being unable to change the template because it reverts after "temporary save". At least it doesn't fix it for me.

Thanks. but I have access to the server's php.ini so would this not just be redundant?

Bump. Any other suggestions?
