[Template] For Blog Tutorial

Yeah I do not know what the problem is, but I found them here:
http://www.modxcms.com/Blog-Tutorial-Template-1071.html

I’ve noticed alot of the snippets arn’t listed in the repostitory, can’t be found via search and arn’t pre-installed.

The ones I couldn’t fine were:

FlexSearchForm
PageTrail
DropMenu
UserComments

I’m wondering if any one has them, a link to them, or an adaptation that used a newer, more common snippet as I’d very much like to get this thing working.

FlexSearchForm -> AjaxSearch

PageTrail -> Breadcrumbs

DropMenu -> Wayfinder

UserComments -> Jot

Sorry bout this post, must have been spending to much time behind this screen, or blacked out.
Just was some trace left in a chunk

Hi,

I am having troubles with a blog setup, it keeps comming up with:

No-one has commented on this article yet.You must be logged into the forums to comment. Please login

And the "login" link wants to take me to www.mysite.com/forums/index.php?action=login

Looks pretty much there is some trace of smf there but i dont know where this bit of code resides? I must admit I ve been trying all the solutions I found here on Modx and ended up with the documented one, from the wiki.
Also, again, this site is running on a server/host who keeps telling he will install mod_rewrite and doesnt do that.
Just my luck, this site is not mine and the owner is very content with this host. Even though they go offline (for a week) every month because they back-up? Could the furl be related to the blog problems I am having.

Best, Frank.

Four of these plug-ins/snippets have changed their names? Or have been superceded by newer equivalents?
That makes this tutorial pretty outdated! The last time I tried to follow a old tutorial on the wiki, it was a disaster because some of the plug-ins had changed. I never got it working.

Before I dive into this, does anyone know of a newer tutorial for constructing a basic blog?

Yes, install the demo site content. It has everything you need for blogging.

I am brand-new to this.

First, how do I install the demo content?

Also, I’m having problems following the directions after uploading the files in "Light" folder into Modx.

It says to create two templates, Light and Light-post, and copy/paste the text in the included template.html file.

I can creates the two templates, but they’re not editable to copy/paste any text into.

Also, the directions after that say to "create four chunks using the text of the included chunk.html files."

How do I create a chunk?

And can I create multiple blog pates in my website?

Please don’t double post; one spot is enough.

May be it s an idea to start here: http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/Beginner’s_Guide_to_MODx
Have fun.

The blog tutorial is great, by the way.
