Couple Questions (Portfolio Site)

I’m going to be putting up a page and 1 of the pages I have is a "projects" page (site.com/projects).. I was wondering when I create a subpage under the "projects" page which would be site.com/projects/project01 is there a way to have an image, title of the project, and a brief summary dynamically added to the site.com/projects page? Also would I be able to upload/resize/crop images with this cms?

Thanks!

Hi BnH,

is there a way to have an image, title of the project, and a brief summary dynamically added to the site.com/projects page?

Oh ya one more question I had was is it possible to remove things like the templates when a certain user is logged in? Kinda like setting up roles to where some users have restrictions?

yes, it’s possible to setup different roles for different users. In your manager go to "Security" -> "Roles" and setup a role, you then need to assign a manager user to that role.
use the ManagerManager plugin http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/board,349.0.html to customise the outlook/functionality of the manager interface even more for your users - it’s very useful!
