Modx Revolution can't find its CSS files? - zip

Here's an odd one: I just installed ModX Revolution 2.2.4 and all went well, but in the back end its like the css file is missing - it either loads just some of the page, or the whole page with no CSS.
In my browser console it says it cannot find the css file at all. I checked the files and directories - all are intact and all permissions are correct.
I've tried reinstalling and on two different servers both with the same occurrence.
The only thing that came up is that during the installation it couldnt unzip the file core.transport.zip, so I unzipped it on my PC and re-uploaded it.
Would anyone know whats going on at all?
Thanks

The issue was the zipped files within ModX were not unzipping when I did the install. Either unzip them on your PC, fix or update the PHP on the server, or install an older version (2.1.7 works ok)

Magento Installation Without .htaccess

I'm making a new Magento Installation and like always, access magento.com to download the installations files.
For my surprise, theres no more .htaccess in the compress files O.o
Someone can tell why or give any tip?
It is always there, but it's a hidden file so just change the setting of the Files Manager or Finder to see it.

sublime text 3 sidebar autoupdating not working

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to make it so that sublime text 3 automatically updates the sidebar when i add a new folder/file to the current project in finder (osx).
Right now, I have to manually go to Project -> Refresh Folders
My user preferences are probably not the issue as they are very basic:
{
"color_scheme": "Packages/Color Scheme - Default/Solarized (Light).tmTheme",
"font_size": 18,
"tab_size": 2,
"translate_tabs_to_spaces": true
}
If anyone could help that would be great as I have tried googling, searching for an answer to this but havent found anything that works.
Thanks in advance.
I recently began experiencing this issue and it turned out to be DropBox related. Once I removed DropBox and restarted my machine the folder refreshing began working as before. Also, DropBox was affecting several other apps, specifically SourceTree and Transmit as well as Sublime Text 3.
I had this same issue. You could always bind the folder refresh to a hotkey. While this is not a complete fix for auto-updating, it still saves you from a more lengthy manual refresh. I believe this is how Dreamweaver works as well.
I had the same issue with ST3 (OSX 10.9.2). It was something wrong with the root folder of my projects. I created new folder Code1, moved all of my projects there, removed old Code folder and renamed new Code1 to Code. This bit of magic returned things back to normal.
Open the console and see if there are any errors. It logs when there are changes to the filesystem.
I've had this problem when I used disks that where mounted with samba. My best guess is that this has something to do with the OS or filesystem not triggering the correct events for sublime to realize that there's new stuff in the folders.
I'm guessing that the disk on which the project you're working on belongs to a mounted disk, that might have a different filesystem. Try moving the project and see if that helps. If that is the case maybe you ought to see over which flags and stuff you're using when mounting the disk on which the project was originally stored.
How you would go about fixing that however I have no clue about since I don't have any experience with OSX.
This could be the result of an error with the plugin SidebarEnhancements, as was the case for me. Using package control I removed the plugin. I couldn't package install the plugin back as it would not show up on the list of available plugins. So instead I followed this github issue in the repo and got it cloned into the correct directory.
Another side note, in sublime I clicked "Sublime Text" -> "Preferences" -> "Browse Packages". to open up the correct location to clone the repo in finder. If you click on the folder icon in the top bar of the resulting finder window you can actually drag this into iTerm2 so that you are in the proper location before running the git clone command included below.
git clone https://github.com/titoBouzout/SideBarEnhancements.git "SideBarEnhancements"
cd "SideBarEnhancements"
Finally, quit ST3 and reopen worked for me. Hope this helps.
I'm using Windows, so not sure if my solution is relevant to the exact question, but since I found this on Google, I figured it might just help somebody. My problem was specifically with the SideBarEnhancements plugin.
The dumb solution (try this first):
Close Sublime Text, go to the Packages directory (in Windows that's in %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3 (Win+R, paste that path, enter);
Rename SideBarEnhancements to something else and then back to its original name;
Reopen Sublime Text.
The nice solution (for Git Bash on Windows):
IF the dumb solution has not worked, there is no point in following on.
However, if it worked, you can automate the process.
Open %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\.bashrc, or in other words: User\.bashrc (create the file if you don't have it);
Paste the following at the end of the file (preferably on a new line):
touchme() {
echo 'Killing Sublime Text process..';
taskkill -IM "sublime_text.exe";
cd ~/AppData/Roaming/Sublime\ Text\ 3/Packages;
touch SideBarEnhancements;
echo 'SideBarEnhancements folder touched;';
echo 'Returning to original directory..';
cd -;
echo 'Reopening Sublime Text..';
"/L/Program Files/Sublime Text 3/sublime_text.exe"&
}
Change the path to your sublime_text.exe (last line of the function);
If Git Bash is opened, execute source ~/.bashrc and go to 6;
If Git Bash is not opened, open it and go to 6;
Execute touchme without any brackets;
In case you use the touchme command for something else, or simply don't like it, feel completely free to rename the function (I just found it the easiest to write and remember :P).
I guess the code above can be adapted for Unix systems, too, with some small tweaks.
I had this problem after reinstalling Sublime Text 2 and symlinking.
A workaround I found was binding the refresh_folder_list command with cmd+s, since that's usually when we see the sidebar updating.
For this to work you'll need to install run_multiple_commands plugin.
Then you'll have to update your User Keymap telling it to refresh folder list every time you save. The syntax is fairly simple.
I also ran across Synced Side Bar after fixing the issue. I am not sure if this is a solution but sounds promising.
Hope this helps.
I don't have a solution but a theory on why this is happening. I noticed as well recently that it stopped refreshing. I've also noticed that when I use the finder to open folders or use the 'open' within any program, the OS would just show an empty directory when I know there are files in it. I would then have to select a few different folders to get it to recognize that I'm asking it to show me the contents in the folder. It's almost like that function is asleep and I have to nudge it awake.
It seems Mavericks is using some strong sleep agent and turning off any functions behind the scene that's not needed and perhaps it's also affecting the sidebar refresh.
Same issue for me with ST2 on OSX 10.7.5. I started by opening Finder to the folder where I had the issue and navigated to that folder in terminal as well. Then:
Create a blank file and observe if Finder refreshed.
echo "" > test.txt
If Finder didn't refresh, navigate to the parent folder in both Finder and terminal. Repeat step 1.
If Finder did refresh, rename the child folder you came from to anything and then back to the original name.
mv folder_name new_folder_name
mv new_folder_name folder_name
Auto refresh in Finder started working again as well as the Sublime sidebar for that folder and all child folders.
I don't have an explanation as to why this issue started. Prior to this solution, I attempted the following trying to figure it out. I don't know if these steps were necessary in resolving this issue.
I removed .DS_Store files from the folders with this issue.
Remove the Finder preferences file and restart Finder. As described here.
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist ; killall Finder
Exit Dropbox
Thanks to #peresleguine for the suggestion of renaming the folder.
I had the same issue with folders and files not showing up. No matter what folders I added it wouldn't work, refreshing folders didn't work, if I restarted Sublime, I would then see the folders I added but none of it's contents. I ended up going to File -> Close Window and then File -> New Window, after that when I added folders to the new window, it started working again. Seems like it's a corruption in the project file somehow. Anyways hope this helps someone.
Mac OSX Mavericks
Sublime 3 Build 3059
If you're using OS X with python version higher than 2.7.1, try downgrading python to 2.7. This fixed multiple issues for me:
brew update
brew install pyenv
echo 'if which pyenv > /dev/null; then eval "$(pyenv init -)"; fi' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
pyenv install 2.7
pyenv global 2.7
# now restart ST3
One of the sub-folders of my project contained a symlink to the project itself, making a loop. As soon as I've removed it and re-opened the project, the problem went away. However, that symlink was necessary for my project to function, so I created a simple .sublime-project file:
{
"folders": [{
"path": "/",
"folder_exclude_patterns": ["symlink-or-one-of-its-parents"]
}]
}
The exclusion pattern made Sublime ignore the loop, and the sidebar went back to normal right away. Just note that folder_exclude_patterns accepts folder names, not paths. That means that it might exclude something you didn't want to exclude (i.e. if you write lib it'll exclude all lib folders in your project, regardless of where they are). Hope this helps somebody.
I had this issue after symlinking my project files to another partition on the hard disk. I fixed it by editing the path for each project from Project > Edit Project to the new location.
A bit late to the conversation, but I resolved this by turning off DropBox's Finder integration. There is a known issue with Yosemite 10.10.x
https://www.dropbox.com/help/7144
Click on the dropbox icon in your tool bar, click the gear and then open preferences. Un-check Enable Finder integration. Then restart your computer.
Hope that helps.
I just fixed this issue and I think the reason is because I use dropbox to sync my ST3 settings.
Somedays before I restarted with 'reopen windows when logging back in', and found sublime opened earlier than dropbox finished its initialisation, which caused some settings couldn't load properly.
The result was when I used subl . to open project, I found the side bar not working properly. At the first beginning, I just closed ST3 windows and re-run subl, but it didn't work.
Finally I quitted ST3 (cmd+q), and made sure dropbox was properly loaded, then subl again. This time it worked.
Hope it helps.

Install modx in a subfolder

I like my webspace tidy :)
Therefore if my root-folder is html/ I would like to install modx (version 2.2) in the subdirectory html/modx/
For my website-visitors everything should be the same as if I would have installed modx in the root folder (html/).
I also don't want to do without friendly urls.
To make it even more difficult: I also really like the builtin modx file browser and I would love to use it for every file and folder in the document root (so every file inside html/* should be displayed).
(How) is this possible?
Additional question: if it is possible, is it better to reinstall modx in the subfolder or to move my installation to the new location (html/modx). As my installation is only a few days old, either option would be fine.
What version of MODx are you using?
Usually you would do an advanced installation (a separate version of MODx). You can move the existing MODx install to your sub-directory but you will need to update all of the config.core.php files and MODX_CORE_PATH constants to reflect this. You will also need to leave and update at least the index.php file in your web root directory. The config files that would need updating include:
config.inc.php
manager/config.inc.php
connectors/config.inc.php
core/config/config.inc.php
core/config/config.inc.php is the most important file and you will want to make sure ALL of the paths listed in there are correct.
The file browser will work fine providing you check all the URL and filesystem paths are correct in the Manager settings.
Change your .htaccess setting:
RewriteBase /subfoldername/
and install it as typically you do.

Issue installing ModX Revolution

I am trying to install version 2.2 of ModX Revolution. Everything goes fine up until the last step where I get this error:
The install failed because MODX could not unpack the
/public_html/core/packages/core.transport.zip package. Make sure that the
/public_html/core/packages/core.transport.zip file exists and is writable, and that you have made the
/public_html/core/packages/ directory writable.
I have checked and the directory is writable and the file core.transport.zip does exists and is also writable.
Can anyone tell me whats going on?
Do you have a folder 'core' next to the zip file? if yes, just make it (and every file within it) writable. Worked for me..

HTML5 Boilerplate Build Script - .htaccess doesn't exist

I thought I'd try out the Build Script for HTML5 Boilerplate - it's aimed at front-end designers and developers so this should be fairly straightforward right?
I'm running with a Mac so I should have all I need according to Paul.
Tried it on a blank project and immediately hit a brick wall.
I ran the cd build command, pointing it to my local folder
Then I ran ant build. It seemed to go OK, with a load of jibberish about how it was Building a Production environment but got stuck when looking for the htaccess file...
BUILD FAILED
/Users/jaygeorge/Dropbox/Websites/Clients/HTML-Sandbox/build/build.xml:137:
The following error occurred while
executing this line:
/Users/jaygeorge/Dropbox/Websites/Clients/HTML-Sandbox/build/build.xml:673:
Replace: source file
/Users/jaygeorge/Dropbox/Websites/Clients/HTML-Sandbox/publish/.htaccess
doesn't exist
Well of course the .htaccess file doesn't exist because it didn't come with the Boilerplate download. Do I need to download the htaccess file from my website so that it sits locally? I don't really understand this stuff - Was hoping Paul Irish would make his instructions more comprehensive :-(.
There should be an .htaccess file in the root folder of the ZIP file you downloaded. Note that you may have to turn on 'view hidden files' or similar in your File Explorer to see it.
Try to make empty .htaccess file and copy/paste code from: http://html5boilerplate.com/
