MODX newbie - Would like some direction

I own an art and music project currently running with Light N Easy CMS and I want to take it to the next level. In my search for a different CMS to make this happen I came across ModX. In the gallery showcase I saw a website that is kinda what I want to do.

My website The Red Realm features underground art and music. I’d like to keep the same concept but allow the artist or musician to register (create a profile) that must be approved by me.

This page is sort of what I’m looking for. The artist/musician profile should include the type/genre of art/music, a bio, a gallery/player, and links to external sites.

I’m only interested in having the artists sign up. Visitor interaction would be limited to viewing the galleries, listening/downloading music, and sharing the pages using common share buttons (twitter, facebook, digg, etc.)

I installed the latest version of ModX to my webserver on a test folder to try it out. I see that I have a lot of work ahead of me to accomplish my project

My webserver runs PHP 5+ and MYSQL. The installation was a success. I’ve looked at the documentation files but it’d bee nice to be pointed in the right direction.

Hope someone can help

Start by installing the WebLoginPE snippet. I’m working on a somewhat similar site; member registration that has to be approved by the admin, more information entered by the member in his profile editing page. As I develop the site, I’m documenting the process. The article on registration should be up this weekend.

Thanks for the head’s up. I’m looking forward to reading the article

Is the article up? If so, can I have the link?
