Manager UI in 3.0

The manager in 3.0 is the same ExtJS app with a new skin and a set of layout tweaks. This page lists the leftover interface changes from the 3.0 cycle that do not have their own how-to.

Installer and login redesigns are covered on Upgrading to 3.0 and Manager login. Language switching is on Manager language.

Already documented elsewhere¶

• Redesigned manager login, including custom backgrounds. #13773
• Redesigned installer. #14507
• On-the-fly manager language. #14046
• Media browser and manager layout on smaller screens. #14700, #14735
• Chrome in-page translation is blocked in the manager. #14414
• Gravatar is off on new installs. See system settings in 3.0. #14215

Tooltips¶

Field description tooltips can be turned off, and you can change how long they stay on screen:

• manager_tooltip_enable (default Yes)
• manager_tooltip_delay (default 2300 ms, ExtJS dismissDelay)

Media Browser image previews use modx_browser_tree_hide_tooltips, not these settings. #14535

Profile and resource forms¶

• User profile screens share one layout. #14731, #14420
• Resource settings and the Quick Update Resource window use the same field layout. #14726
• Template and TV forms put the TV tab before Settings. Resource editing does the same for TVs. #14251, #14250
• Grid "New" buttons follow one pattern. #14312

Other manager behaviour¶

• System Info → Database tables shows a success notice after a table operation. #14525
• The top search bar (uberbar) trims leading and trailing spaces before it searches. #14523
• The manager CSS starts from normalize.css. #14369
