Use this thread to discuss potential issues you encounter with MODx 0.9.6.  I'll try and keep them organized in this first post periodically and get resulting bug fixes, feature requests and to-do's entered for them.

Hi !
i successfully upgraded modx 0.9.5 to 0.9.6, ( although i had to try twice because of an apache 500 internal server error )

there is a little bug i found, on the manager login page, the button is misplaced  :




( maybe this occurs only with the french version )

it may be caused of capcha use... i had never used capcha for manager login page, since you have upgraded from previous version, seems to me that its a place for capcha!?  and you'v  used it before?
try to enable capcha verification on manager login and see what will happen?

i used to have captcha enabled, but even if i re-enable it, the connection button is misplaced

Chucky, this is simply an html file in the manager theme.  Feel free to edit it and submit the corrected HTML or CSS.  BTW, I don't see this placement when I view it.

I noticed similar style issues when I translated the Spanish installer recently (although I just adjusted the text in the language file so that they wouldn't occur in the final version). Basically it seems as if some elements are floats and tile properly with the English text, but when the text is significantly longer (or shorter, I imagine), they can stack up funny. It would be worth soliciting reports on where this occurs in the manager and installer and adding some clears or min-heights or whatever seems like it'd be the easiest way to make the styles a little bit more flexible/scalable.

It's really just a minor aesthetic issue, and it'd be awesome if that's all that people report over the next few days.

it could be solved with css adjustment @ manager/media/style/modxlight/login.html
try one of these:

on line 85 add:

Code:

padding: 10px 20px 10px 20px;

or

on line 56 add:

Code:

p.caption, p.comment { font-size: 86%; color: #888; bottom: 3px; }

or

on line 89:

Code:

   #mx_loginbox {
        width: 460px;
        margin: 70px auto 0;
        clear: both;
        }

i didn't face the problem by myslef but if i have some live demo i can help you cover this.

Is there a list somewhere with differences between 0.9.5 and 0.9.6 (changes, new features, etc.) ?

[rthrash]

Look in the changelog.txt file in the installer folder. That hits most of the high points.

Yep. I actually see the problem in my English installation as well. I wonder what changed that made this box too small for its contents.

Anyway I fixed it by changing line 85 to:

Code:

padding: 10px 20px 40px 20px;

Basically adding a bit more padding to the bottom of the sectionBody class so that the box background extends below the Login button...

happy to see it worked but the truth is this css files used at this manager template is very fuzzy in their very own manner, but for the code clearance i prefer to use "clear;" statement rather than placing a solid adjustment to each value or selector!

[ZAP]

True. I played around with that first and it wasn't working as I expected. This was the best way that I could fix it without restructuring things very much.

[MotSmart]

maybe we could make a new manager template with the clear code after i finish the O'really's definitive guide to css after 10 years

Cause I have a big screen I have decide to take the control from my browsers and not to endure the too little fonts. On Firefox/Opera/Konqueror in 14* points minimum. A lot of area are disturbed in the install procedure. Sometimes it's very difficult to understand the requests although they are in french: english language seems take less words or characters.

I haven't look the code but I suppose inline tags and float elements are better to a flexible design. Sure the install process is not essential for a daily use

//* edit : 16 for Modx. Quick I remove the original design. Menus are affect too.

version typo @ AjaxSearch description is 1.5 but the code is 1.6
