Template variables: only one category showing up suddenly

Support
1

Summary

From today on, my modx-installation will only show the category “uncetegorized” on the tab “Template Variables”

Step to reproduce

As written in summary… I logged into my modx-installation and wanted to change something in my template variables on one page. But the tab “Template Variables” will only show the uncategorized TVs, and not one of the other categories I created.
The installation exists for about 5 years now and never showed such behaviour…

Expected behavior

well… the tab “TV” should show all TVs which are assigned to the chosen Template…

Environment

MODX version: MODX Revolution 2.6.5-pl, Apache

2

Have you checked the respective templates, whether the expected TVs are assigned to it?

3

Are there any errors in the error log? Did anything else change?

4

@vibedesign: Yes, checked it, they’re assigned as they were before.

@joshualuckers: I didn’t change anything…

Error log says: (but I can’t see a context with the error occuring in the manager)
(I disabled the pthumb-extra after reading this errorlog - but behaviour doesn’t change)

addendum:

the normal dashboard isn’t showing up at login either (blank page on the right site). I recapitulated what I did in the manager the last two months - it’s only modifications in content, nothing else. No new extra, no change in code of any extra or template, nor any change to the database…

External changes might also be the cause of your issue:

  • Software changes on the server (updated database server, updated php version etc)?
  • Do you have enough disk space available?
  • Are there any errors in the PHP log?
  • Does it help if you update to the most recent version of MODX (2.7.2)? Don’t forget to create a backup before updating.

I was thinking that the hoster possibly updated php…

hm, it’s php 5.6 as before.

@joshualuckers

  • Software changes… at least nothing our hoster mentioned.

  • Disk space: yep, plenty of, shouldn’t be a problem (about 100 GB)

  • will try to update early in 2020 (no time right now) and will report here if it’s successfull.

Thank’s all for your advices and food for thought!

Late tot he game I know, but thought I’d spitball this because I have encountered this by design and want to hide the “uncategorized”

In my case, the “Uncategorized” template variable tab is appearing because I have a TV assigned to the template, saved with NO category assigned.

I have also set this TV to be hidden from the manager (Hide Field from Manager: on TV Input Options tab)

Like I said - this was by design. I am using the TV to store a Fred Content block, so I need it to exist, yet I DON’T want it to be displayed in the manager.

The end result is the TV is indeed hidden from the manager… but I have an ugly empty “Uncategorized” tab there now. So… might solve your question, but not mine :slight_smile:
