QM is a Blank Page in Front End Editor

chas55427 — Sep 17, 2014, 11:15 PM

Have a number of modx 1.0.14 installations on a server. Some display a blank page in the front end editor (qm) and others do not. I found a css setting in the iframe for the ones not functioning:

Changing to display:block makes the editor visible. Any ideas on why/what is causing this setting?

Have re-installed modx including qm multiple times without resolution.

finally found a way to resolve the issue.

after comparing/verifying all settings & files to a working version, i experimented with the QM configuration settings.

- in Quick Manager+>Configuration changed "Load jQuery in front-end" from true to false.
- previewed the home page and went to edit resource via QM. jQuery now in debug mode with a blank page - no QM container.
- closed QM
- changed "Load jQuery in front-end" from false to true
- cleared cache.

QM is now functioning without the previous jQuery error (not found).

here is the code in the two mm_rules chunks:

// more example rules are in assets/plugins/managermanager/example_mm_rules.inc.php
// example of how PHP is allowed - check that a TV named documentTags exists before creating rule
if ($modx->db->getValue($modx->db->select('count(id)', $modx->getFullTableName('site_tmplvars'), "name='documentTags'"))) {
	mm_widget_tags('documentTags', ' '); // Give blog tag editing capabilities to the 'documentTags (3)' TV
}
mm_widget_showimagetvs(); // Always give a preview of Image TVs

Ok, so you are not using hideFields commands to manipulate your template variables (BTW, remove
if block from mm_rules if there are no tagging TVs defined).

So, as fourroses666 already mentioned, there's probably conflict with jQuery loaded in your frontend
and QuickManager+ or ManagerManager supplied one... any script errors in DevTools console?
Recommended settings are:
ManagerManager: load jQuery local
QuickManager+: Load jQuery in manager/frontend false

there are 3 versions of mm_rules in the chunks area:
- mm_demo_rules (1)
- mm_rules (14)
- mm_rules-1_0_15 (15)

hello - the configuration chunk is designated as "mm_rules"
where would i find the mm_hide functions to document?

In chunk named "mm_rules" (Elements/Manage Elements/Chunks).

would be happy to provide whatever info is necessary . . . . am not familiar with the functions you are asking for. if you could provide more detail on what is needed it would be appreciated.

Open ManagerManager plugin in Manage Elements/Plugins and note which configuration method is used (if "Configuration Chunk" parameter value is empty, look at the /assets/plugins/managermanager/mm_rules.inc.php file).
Compile list of mm_hide* functions with parameters and paste it here.

am still having the same issue with half of my sites unable to edit via QM on the front end. it is a css setting that is causing the QM iframe to display as a blank. changing the css setting in firebug allows the editor to display as expected.
if anyone has any idea what controls this setting i would be most appreciative. using latest version of modx.

We probably need to know which mm_hide* set of functions are used in rules on troubled sites...

if anyone has any idea what controls this setting i would be most appreciative. using latest version of modx. have removed, added qm multiple times. no rhyme of reason as to why some of my sites function as expected, others not. same server.

here is a screenshot of the html that is causing the issue: http://screencast.com/t/H3DrIZYXC
