    Hello there. I am still in diapers when it comes to modx, so I would appreciate if someone could answer any of the questions.

    As I understand there are no categories in modx strictly speaking, but one can create multiple posts inside one folder which could be considered as parent category. But how can I refer to a folder outside one folder? Or at least create a referral via tv or such?

    To make things more clear, I have following structure:
    Articles
    -category 1
    -category 2
    -category 3
    Authors
    -author 1
    -aurhor 2
    ... etc

    Now I want article under ’category 1’ to also refer to ’author 2’ in ’Authors’ folder.

    Please note that Authors folder can be something else, like issue type etc, because I know that authors can probably be treated differently, as users or so. This is just a concept.

    Also it would be great if I had an option to create new article just with one click, like in WordPress ie. So form would look like:
    -title (text field)
    -category (dropdown list of folders in ’articles’)
    -author (dropdown list of authors)
    -etc.

    Is this doable at all? Again, all suggestions very much appreciated.
