System settings

MODX namespace: pagebuilder. Database key: pagebuilder_<name>.

The extra manifest defines 16 keys. On install or upgrade, the resolver adds missing keys. Existing values are not overwritten.

Paths and preview

Key	Type	Default	Description
pagebuilder_core_path	text	{core_path}components/pagebuilder/	Path to PHP core
pagebuilder_assets_url	text	{assets_url}components/pagebuilder/	URL for connector, preview, assets
pagebuilder_preview_secret	text	from resolver / site_uuid	Secret for draft preview token
pagebuilder_load_frontend_css	boolean	1	Register pagebuilder-sections.css when calling PageBuilder
pagebuilder_preview_include_template_css	boolean	1	Load template <link rel="stylesheet"> in preview iframe
pagebuilder_preview_css_urls	textarea	empty	Extra CSS for preview (comma-separated), placeholders {assets_url}, etc.

Empty pagebuilder_preview_secret falls back to site_uuid. On production, set a dedicated secret if manager preview should not rely on a predictable UUID.

Preview iframe CSS order (preview.php):

1. Resource template stylesheets when pagebuilder_preview_include_template_css = 1
2. URLs from pagebuilder_preview_css_urls (comma or newline separated)
3. pagebuilder-sections.css and pagebuilder-preview.css

If the theme loads CSS only via Fenom or @import without <link>, list files explicitly in preview_css_urls. Placeholders: {assets_url}, {base_url}, {site_url}.
