I’ve only got one user... the admin.

Hi Guys...

Well. A strange update for you.

I have managed to get the site working with the WYSIWYG editor. But you would have never guessed it.

The ’bottom button bar’ plugin was causing a conflict somewhere and not making things work. Weird.

Thanks for the suggestions though. I did appreciate them. Now on to other things... like the veriword thing... ha ha.

Also check the User tab for your individual manager users. (Security -> Manager Users)

I ask the question too though, would it be possible the manager can’t find the WYSIWYG plugin/editor?

Hmmm. . . In the MODx Manager, look at Tools | Configuration | Interface & Features tab.

Check the settings of Resource Path, Resource URL, and Editor to Use.

If you paste just this part: ( http://www.xxxxxxx.com.au/v2/manager/includes/veriword.php ) into the address window of your browser and don’t get an image, it pretty much indicates one of two things: Either the host’s graphics package is broken/misconfigured, or your veriword.php file is corrupt.

That’s weird. I zipped it with windows built in one... I’ll try again... I had to rename it to .txt though. So, grab it and change the extension, as it’s an html file.

My next step is to get in contact with the server company and see what’s going on... or not going on for that matter...

Further to the captcha image... all I get is the address I’ve just typed in. No error. No nothing.

just this code:

Try going directly to the graphic image link in the source of the page with the CAPTCHA image on it. That may give you an error message with some clues.

mod_security is also a possible culprit. Search this forum for mod_security to see if anything rings a bell.

Another couple of things to try are an upgrade install and, if that doesn’t fix things, re-uploading the files and another install. Sometimes a file or two gets corrupted in the transfer.

BTW, I don’t have anything that can open your zip file. WinZip and 7-Zip both claim it’s not a valid zip file.

gd and freetype are enabled.

I’ve just reuploaded the site.

Still the same problem. grrrr... I’m at witts end here and running out of options.

I know this may roll heads, but register_globals are on, and this is what I have to live with. (At this stage)

I guessing it has to be the server config, as I’ve just installed a fresh modx, and it does the same thing. WYSIWYG editor with the quick edit, yet, in the manager area, no WYSIWYG editor. I’ve even tried both FCKEditor as the included TinyMCE one.

Are there any hard core coders out there that have experienced this and have found a workaround?

I’ve attached my php settings if that helps.

The test environment is with go-daddy. The production server is just a normal hosting company.

Thanks!

As xpix suggests, GD and freetype are necessary for CAPTCHA to work. Your remote host might have either one turned off. You can run phpinfo() from inside the manager (or put it in a snippet) to find out.

The other problem sounds more like a bad MODx upload to me. I’d try an upgrade install first. If that doesn’t work, I’d re-upload the files and do an upgrade install again. Someone else may have a better idea.

Captcha - make sure you have gd library or what else is needed

Hi Guys,

I’m starting to go crazy here... and I’m trying to figure out why this could/would be happening.

I moved a site over to a different server to a production machine, and altered what needed to change to get the app running. Everything was working on the previous server without any dramas at all. But... not so now on the new one.

Yes, the manager works and everything else. Except two things.

Captcha graphics. Which I’ll sort out soon (well, I hope this could be related).

And also rich text editors.

But... here’s the funny thing about it.

Modx won’t load the editors on the new server in the manager window... however, it will load the quick editor, and... the WYSIWYG editor fires up beautifully, without problems in the quick editor!

I can’t figure out why this is happening. I’ve got bugzilla on my firefox browser, and it’s not telling me anything is wrong. It’s just really weird.

I’d like to think I’m savvy on this sort of thing, and wouldn’t be writing if I couldn’t figure it out.
Has anyone had this happen? Or am I the first one?

It’s a tough one. I’ve spent the last several days going over config files, searching through help stuff... not much that I’ve found.

Thanks in anticipation.

Cheers,
Steve
