FAQ ​

General ​

Which products does the panel edit? ​

MiniShop3 products (msProduct) in the MODX 3 manager. Regular MODX resources (non-products) are not edited here.

Install and access ​

Panel will not open / VueTools warning ​

  1. Install VueTools (modxpro-vue-core) from ModStore.
  2. Clear the MODX cache and hard-reload the manager (Cmd+Shift+R).

“Presets” or “Import” tabs are missing ​

You need msbulkeditor_presets and msbulkeditor_import_export. Without the permission the tab is hidden; a direct URL goes to Products.

msbulkeditor_auth_permission_denied ​

Ask an admin for the required permission (view / edit / rollback / …). See Settings.

msbulkeditor_auth_modauth_invalid / session_required ​

Reload the manager page. Sign in again if the session expired.

Operations ​

msbulkeditor_apply_no_changes ​

Preview reported 0 changes. Check operation parameters and selection: values may already match the target.

msbulkeditor_expert_limit_exceeded ​

Narrow filters or raise msbulkeditor_expert_limit (mind RAM and PHP timeout).

Expert mode is missing ​

An admin disabled msbulkeditor_expert_mode. Enable it in system settings area msbulkeditor.

Inline will not edit a multi-value option / list TV ​

That is by design. Change those fields with a bulk operation. See Inline editing.

Binding wizard opened ​

Some products lack a TV/option binding to template or category. Complete the wizard or narrow the selection. → Binding wizard

Import and export ​

msbulkeditor_export_xlsx_unavailable ​

OpenSpout is unavailable on the server (package vendor). Export CSV or reinstall the package.

msbulkeditor_import_mapping_invalid ​

Map an ID column and at least one target field (price, stock, or article).

Why does import not write TVs and options? ​

The import tab updates only price, stock, and article. Use a bulk operation on Products for TV/option.

History ​

No “Rollback” button ​

You need msbulkeditor_rollback. Rollback works for completed operations. For failed, only already applied items roll back.

History is not cleaned ​

Enable Scheduler and msbulkeditor_scheduler_enabled, or clean tables manually. See Settings.

Limits ​

  • msProduct (MiniShop3) only
  • no inline for multi-value options or TV list/checkbox/file
  • option valueKind in bulk is chosen manually (no auto-detect)
