    Have had time to install the latest version and was impressed with some of the new stuff

    But:

    1)
    I choose to use FURL's and the system modifies the ht.access file in the root

    If the site is in a folder it doesn't write to the file properly, as the rewrite path is not set to the folder name, and the system no-longer lets you log in.

    You have to manually edit the (now) .htaccess file

    So, my take on this - its annoying and to be honest the system shouldn't (in my opinion) be doing this kind of modification in the first place

    2)
    Tools => Configuration => Interface & Features => Page Click Behavior

    Set to: "View Resource data"

    I click a page to modify it and get the "View Children" tab.

    The setting is there to display the page info, not the child elements - if there are no child elements it still shows the children tab.

    Why has this been changed ?

    Again, simply annoying as you now have to click the General tab to see the important info / preview the data.

    3)
    Editing a document: Settings => in URL

    The info pop-up states "alias in url" - I presume this tells me that the alias is used in the url

    What's this for or should I say, when is it needed to be changed ?

    Has this been posted about somewhere ?

    4)
    Manage Elements => Plugins => FileSource

    The description is "Save snippet and plugins to file"

    How ?

    Looking at the code, there is a lot of (what I think is) Russian - any chance of a translation ?

    5)
    I think i've seen this in the forum somewhere, but can't be sure.

    When deleting a plugin, snippet, or chunk the "delete" button isn't available (as such)

    The image and text has some opacity thing going on and the cursor has been removed

    You can click it and you get the standard "are you sure" notice, but why is this like this ?

    6)
    Tools => Configuration => Interface & Features => The node name of a resource tree

    This is one of the best changes to date - great work guys

    What I am missing though is the "longtitle" - any chance of adding it ?

    Ive hacked Evo for ages and have always used the [*longtitle*] element and I change its name via MM from "Long title" to "CMS Tree"

    7)
    Tools => Configuration => File Browser => Disable zip-archives downloading
    Tools => Configuration => File Browser => Disable renaming of file extensions

    New elements - an explanation would be good

      3) should be "parent" or "containers" .."alias in URL"

      Allow remove the alias of the parent folder from url:

      domain.com/page.html instead domain.com/folder/page.html

      • Now that's interesting. Of course, there is the global system setting to use "friendly alias paths", but it's very nice to be able to enable or disable that on a page-by-page basis.

            A quick notice:

            When I have a page which is a Weblink and redirect to ID 11 in Safari and IE I get:
            domain.com/en/%3Cp%3E11%3C/p%3E


            Firefox does work. When I uncheck Text Editor it works in all browsers.

            • You could configure the editor to not convert characters like that.

                yes that is correct, thats how I fixed it. I don't think it happens with older versions if I'm correct.

                • It's a "feature" of the Rich Text Editor (usually TinyMCE), not MODx itself. By default it's configured to convert.

                    Thanks for the reply banzai - I figured it out shortly after I posted.

                    This is driving me nuts - does anyone know how / where I can reset / recode this back to its original function ?

                    Recode is relative - im not a php'r so any help is welcome.

                      I never use the Children tab, I'm with you on that one.
