MIGXdb CMP - add items directly (one config fails, one succeeds)

Support Extras
1

I have a Database Schema for a basic Product Catalog and 6 CMPs used to manage data.

The CMPs should allow Add Items Directly ie. selecting Add Item button adds a new row to the grid.

This works for 3 of the 6 CMPs:

Working

  • Brochures
  • Products
  • Content Blocks

Not Working

  • Brands
  • Categories
  • Subcategories

Opening the Brands CMP logs the following error in the modx error log.

Can anyone help me figure the cause of the issue please?

I’ve compared the working configs to the non-working ones but can’t see a critical difference.

It seems that the validation is the problem.

When I test it and click the “Add Brand” button, an AJAX-request gets generated (action = mgr/migxdb/update) that returns the following:

{"success":false,"message":"Brand Name: required<br\/>","total":0,"data":[],"object":[]}

Genius - removing the required validation from the brand name field resolves the issue. Thank you.

Out of interest, is there anything that can be adjusted to allow Add Items Directly to work with the Brand Name field being required?

Also, on pageload the CMP logs the following errors

[2025-09-25 15:00:52] (ERROR @ /home/runcloud/webapps/dev_website_com/httpdocs/core/cache/mgr/smarty/default/d304d7c24d4d66df3bb18044c10cce45df1ab45b_0.file.dragdrop.grid.tpl.php : 37) PHP warning: Undefined array key "gridpagesize"

And the following after selecting the Add Item button. connector.php returns success.

[2025-09-25 15:01:08] (ERROR @ /home/runcloud/webapps/dev_website_com/httpdocs/core/components/migx/processors/mgr/default/update.php : 320) PHP warning: Undefined array key "publishedon"

Where should I be looking to resolve these?

I believe if you give the “Brand Name” a default value (as you did with “Brochure Title”), then the ‘required’ validation should work.

These are all just warnings. PHP 8 creates a lot more warnings than PHP 7.4 did.

The code of the file core/components/migx/processors/mgr/default/update.php has to be changed on line 320, to not access an array-element without checking first, if an element with that key exists.

Perfect - thanks again.
