ContentBlocks

MODX2 site, updated to 2.8.7. and CB 1.13.4.:

Site works on frontend. Manager works, too, but throws Error 500 when clicking on a resource in the tree. Server shows this log:

What can I do?

Very short-term fix you can try re-saving fields in the manager - especially older ones that may not have had any properties saved. If you have a lot of fields, checking in the modx_contentblocks_fields table for fields that do not have properties would help narrow down the list of fields to check.

That does look a lot like a bug we need to fix in an update though. I’ll try to take a look at that ASAP.

Hi Mark,

The short-term fix (saving all fields) worked! Thanks so much for your quick solution!
