I have worked with ModX for a while, but can't seem to sort this issue. When I login as the admin in to the manager, the resources list is incomplete with not all documents displaying. I can however locate the files via the 'search' area just above.
I have done the normal, empty cache, flush permissions etc. without any joy. Interesting enough its always the same files, and they are showing in the front end.
Any help welcome on this one!
Update
When I click the blog (which is an articles resource) only the template variables panel is showing, nothing else. Page looks a little broken...
Update 2
If i remove the blog, (articles) the pages show. And... If I move the articles container higher, all resources show.
Are you using multiple contexts? I've noticed this behaviour a few times when drag and dropping folders with nested resources from one context to folder in another context.
Moving them back to the original context made them re-appear.
If you're familiar with MySQL GUIs like phpMyAdmin you could check and search the *modx_site_content* table and maybe correct the value in the resources' parent field manually. As Mark said it might well be a parent gone MIA.
Typically, parents rarely go MIA and by that I mean once every couple years....
Did you set up ACLs or Resource Groups?
Is your manager user a member of those groups?

Currently on our site we have 4 weblink resources that are displaying in proper order (by the date on the title) on the page, but after adding one more weblink resource, it is added to the page but appears one below the first link, when it should be at the top.
I am not sure where to look to manually re-order these, and there doesn't seem to be any option to do this from the ModX interface or Resource Edit menu (setting the "index" does nothing).
Is there a way to accomplish this? Is it possible that this is custom and I need to find where the ordering is happening? I have looked in the Snippets folder for this page and wasn't able to find anything that looked like it was doing ordering.
Possibly related noob question: If we just want to manually re-order the links via html, how do we modify the source code directly, via ModX?
If you are using a custom snippet to extract the links then modx will not be doing any ordering for you at all, that would need to be written into the snippet itself.
if you are using getResources, [ http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/getResources ] look up the sortby option in the docs. I'm not 100% sure what the default is.
if you are using WayFinder [ http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/Wayfinder ] the default sort order will be the order they appear in the resource tree, which I believe is menuindex. I believe WayFinder also has a sorting option. [see the docs]
if you are not seeing changes when moving things around in the resource tree, be sure to clear the cache as changes in the resource tree do not automatically refresh the cache.
to manually add the links into the page/resource, you need to find the chunk/snippet/template that is displaying the links and modify that accordingly.
To manually re-order resources in "Resources Tree" you just need "drag-and-drop" by mouse to change the resources places.
I'm working on my first app at the moment and I'm very, very confused at the moment. I bet this is too much to ask for (and too specific), but I'm trying to make an app with folders, and when the user taps on an edit button, a separate view would come up that would contain a tableview that would already have editing enabled. (The view is a UITableViewController to let the user manage their folders)
Also the user would be able to both add, delete, and rearrange his/her folders without tapping another button. When the add button is pressed a new view would come up in which the user types in the name of the new folder. For now I don't care if the folders display in another part of the app or that that they can hold things, just about what I said above.
To make this already confusing request even MORE confusing, I want everything to be saved with Core Data. You can probably see why I'm confused...
NOTE: I have already worked out how to add items (and save them), just not with custom names giving by user.
I know this is a lot, but can someone help? Any sort of help or links to tutorials is appreciated.
You will have to make everything custom. I dont know of any example or tutorials that demonstrate how to create "folders".
You can always programmatically create folders in the Documents directory of your app, and show them virtually in a UITableView. And if the user creates a "file", store that file in the respective folder. I am not sure how you would implement CoreData into that method though.
Apple has quite a few examples on how to use UITableView as well as CoreData. You can try source code sites like Github or BitBucket.
I have seen many somewhat similar questions, but nothing quite what I'm looking for. So at the risk of being told this is a duplicate... here it goes.
I've found that there are times I have a node that simply contains content that will be displayed somewhere else, but shouldn't be viewed directly. That is, no one should ever go to node/1234, but the content in node 1234 should be displayed somewhere else.
For example, I create an about page with tabbed content using views. So there are "About Me", "About Us" and "About Them" pages. All of these are displayed in a single page with tabs using Views. So I don't want people to get directly to the "About Us" node because then they wouldn't see the tabs for the other pages. At the same time, I don't want Google giving people a direct link to this node, I want to limit access so users can only get to it through the View (i.e., the tab).
So I need to restrict access to the node, remove it from the Drupal search results, and make sure Google doesn't pick up on it. Any suggestions?
---- Note ----
I've accepted the answer from mingos (thanks btw) because even though it's not a full answer / solution, it gave me some good things to think about. Additional answers are still welcome.
In Drupal 7 you can use: http://drupal.org/project/internal_nodes
Description: Some content/nodes should never be viewed directly; only visible be through something else such as Views or Panels. This module denies access to node/[nid] URLs while allowing the content to stay published and otherwise viewable.
Full disclosure: I am the creator and co-maintainer of Internal Nodes. I found this question while searching to see how the module could be found on Google.
Tough one.
If you want to have many nodes like this and do the "displaying elsewhere" dynamically, I can't think of anything right now (at 2:20 AM I rarely can).
If there is onne such page (or very few), I'd restrict access to it by any available means (Permissions, Nodeaccess, Content Access, TAC, whatever) and then create special themes for the pages where the restricted content should be displayed. The themes would contain database queries, fetching content from the restricted nodes.
Other possibility might include creating a special theme for the hidden nodes in question (perhaps all belonging to the same content type?). Make full node display nothing (or a message saying the access is restricted) and add a ROBOTS meta tag asking Google not to index the page. Make the teaser view available though - you can display it freely inside a view, but since /node/1234 is the FULL view, the actual content will be unavailable here.
Dunno if this solves your problem, hope it helps at least a bit.
I found this page after running into this same problem.
What I found worked for me might be part of the answer you need:
Take a look at the Page Manager Redirect Module http://drupal.org/project/page_manager_redirect . I just started playing with it.
It uses the Page Manager module of CTools to redirect one page to another. What makes this most powerful is that Page Manager uses Contexts. So, if you want to redirect all pages of a particular content type, you can do so.
I just started to use it (instead of Taxonomy Redirect and Path Redirect) to redirect (301 response code) my taxonomy terms for a particular vocabulary to particular nodes.
In your instance, you should be able to use contexts to filter for specific pages.
Of course this doesn't solve the problem of these nodes coming up in search results.
There is also another module Rabbit Hole which has a similar functionality like Internal Nodes but works for all entities, not only nodes.
I am having the same problem, and are currently thinking of the following solution where all the content of a node is to be displayed to certain users (permission based):
- unpublish node
- create a new published checkbox
- create a view with fields that shows alle the content
Haven't tested it thoroughly yet, but it seems to work.
The node is to be displayed to the creator (only one in permission 1), some of it to permission 2 and all of it to permission 3.
Any comments on this solution.
I assume this will also exclude it from search, but permission 2 and 3 needs to be able to search it. Still haven't figured that one out.
I used Rules module with an "entity is of bundle" and the built-in "Page redirect" action.
There is a really easy way to do this if you only want to show a content type through a view.
create a content type as and make it unpublished.
create a view and on the filter option set the filter to "Content: Published (No)"
the view will give anon users access to the content through the view but they won't have access to the unpublished content at the direct link to the content.
I am working on a specialized instance of MOSS for a client where What I am wanting to do is hide elements on the master page. In particular, I want to hide the main top navigation bar, the search functionality and the label that shows up in the upper-left-hand corner that tells you the name of the site you are on. So I made a copy of the default.master, and then in SP Designer I set the visible attributes for the placeholders for these blocks to “false” in the new master file.
I can then assign the master to my normal site collection no problems and it seems to been working like I want it to. But when I go to look at the system pages (i.e. any of the forms or backend stuff), it is still using the old default master. And when I tried to set the System Master Page to my customized master file, my MOSS instance threw a File Not Found error. Then certain parts of the admin area just started failing in that same way (i.e. I would try to go into Site Settings -> Content and Structure and it also would throw a File Not Found error) Then at one point, the whole Site Collection would throw “Unknown Error” and there didn't seem to be a way to recover, short of reverting the state of the VM I am running MOSS in for development purposes.
So I am curious, what is the best way to create a custom master page and then hide elements on that page? I realized that my web cluster didn’t have the proper flag set up to actually show me real ASP error messages, so I am going to change that tonight when I get home and see what SP is really telling me about all of this. I have also read that changing the application.master file is not recommended, but I figured I could get away with making a custom page for the Site and System master pages and not worry about application.master. I have been reading a bunch of Heather Solomon articles as well as various other things. They all basically say that it’s ok to hide elements on a master page, but not delete them outright as SP will break if you do that. Would it be advisable to use a JS/CSS hack to manually hide elements that way, rather than actually making a new master page?
You create an asp:placeholder with the visible attribute set to false and place the contentplaceholders that are to be hidden in that container, weird I know but it works... as for the system.master you probably would want to make a copy of the system.master that SharePoint uses and then alter that one in the same manner.
Thank you so much for posting this. Works like a charm. I was so afraid because everyone says not to mess with the Application.Master. All I did was open it with Notepad and add Visible="false" (I wanted to hide the topnavigation bar because I have custom tabs that display depending on a user's permissions which are controlled by code in default.master. But then if a user had to upload a file, upload.aspx uses application.master and all the tabs would be displayed.)
I edited this line only:
wssuc:TopNavBar id="IdTopNavBar" runat="server" ShouldUseExtra="true" Visible="false"
Works like a charm!
Note that the following pages will also be affected:
Site Settings
View all site content
Workflow settings of a document library
Recycle Bin
Search results
in a List i have one 'Status' field that should be accessible to only Owners and to the Viewers/Readers it should not be accessible. Do anybody can guide me how to do this.
Well, you can, your view still is visible if the users know how to reach the default views of your list, if its not a security issue, you can use this:
Open your All Items View (/Lists/MyList/AllItems.aspx)
Edit the Page
Add the same List as a WebPart, twice
Delete the original webpart (the one with the Change View drop down)
Edit your WebParts and configure your views
In the Toolpart, on the Advanced [+] set Audience Targetting to your desired Groups
Done!
Either that or you can create a workflow that copies the item to a new list with its metadata, but without that specific column and only give the viewers rights to see that list.
If the question is one of security (it usually is, else just use a view), you can't lock down specific columns. You can find techniques to hide them, but then you're just plugging holes.
The workflow approach recommended by KoenVosters is probably the only secured way I can think of delivering this without coding.
This is not possible out of the box, but I came across this tool that will help to archive this with ease
