    I can't resist another plug for MyComponent. It automatically converts static elements to non-static ones when you export the objects. wink

        I just updated one of my sites with this version and noticed this in the error log.

        The package referenced is one I created using Packman and manually uploaded so I'm not really surprised to see this. Just thought I'd share.

          So I cleared the error log, went back to the modx dashboard and back to the error log and I see this. The previous error is no longer there.

            Terry, that usually means that you've removed that transport package file manually rather than in Package Manager. When you do it that way, the transport file is gone, but the record for the package in the DB is still there and causes the cascade of error messages as PM tries to find the file, then tries to download it from the repo. When you do "search locally for packages" it registers the package in the DB. Removing the package in Package Manager clears the DB entry.

            To get rid of the errors, you can delete the record from the modx_transport_package table manually, or you can just upload the file again, "search locally for packages," then remove it properly in Package Manager.

              Well that's weird. I don't recall deleting it manually, I know what problems that can cause and I still want to keep it installed. So I just re uploaded the package file, cleared the log and I'm good to go.

              Thanks Bob!

                  Hello exside, unfortunately not yet on github. As you are not the first one asking, I will hurry up and set up a repo for this.
                  Did you find any bugs or do you have a feature request? Feel free to post it here until issues can be filed at github.

                    Is this supposed to show Pre-releases that are available? I'm seeing this on the dashboard of a client site.

                    System update available!
                    v2.3.5-pl ⇝ v2.4.0-rc1
                    Release Notes

                    I expect this will confuse clients about when an update should be applied.

                      Hey Terry,

                      you are perfectly right. I was just thinking of adding a setting to configure that. Something like "only notify about production releases"...

                      Will be in the upcoming version!

                      Update: anyway, the dashboard widget could add a small hint describing the "problem" for unexperienced users...
