Description

ManagerManager allows you to:

• Change field names
• Hide fields
• Change the help text for fields
• Rename tabs
• Hide tabs
• Create new tabs
• Move fields to different tabs
• Inherit field values from parent documents
• Prefill date values with customisable values
• Link fields together so their values always match
• Rename and move sections of the document editing page
• Tag editing widget

All these features can be enabled for any manager role, any template, or any combination of these.

The plugin was inspired by HideManagerFields by Brett @ The Man Can. It uses the Jquery library to modify the document management pages after they have been created (no server side transformations are done). It improves on HideManagerFields by adding a standardised API for manipulating fields, adds many new features, and removed the nasty "jump" and flash of hidden fields while the Javascript is manipulated.

Instructions

1. In ModX manager, create a new plugin called "ManagerManager" and paste in the code from plugin.txt

2. In the "System Events" tab, check the OnDocFormRender, OnDocFormPrerender and OnPluginFormRender checkboxes

3. Put mm.inc.php and mm_functions.inc.php in /assets/plugins/managermanager
(if you want to put it somewhere else, you'll need to change the path in the plugin text you pasted in step 3)

4. Insert your rules into the marked section within the plugin code in the manager

Updates

• Bugfix: hiding templates now works in Opera
• Bugfix: typo in mm_hideTemplates
• New: Uses Google AJAX libraries API (in the absence of a local copy of jQuery)
