Multiflex-3 MODx Port [Beta - 4]

I can confirm that after reading Landerd `s message, I thought i d give it a try.
[[WebLogin? &loginhomeid=`8` &logouthomeid=`1` &tpl=`m3_login`]]
Worked right away, off course the id` s are not the same. The call was pasted from the message.
Thought I´d let you know.

Hi,

just a question, it says in the install text that comeswith the beta-4 attachment, that the names are intuitive

"For example, you can use the m3_contact.chunk for the template of the [[ContactForm]] snippet, and the m3_login.chunk for the [[Weblogin]] snippet, etc. I tried to intuitively name them, so you would know what snippets to use them with"

I am puzzled what snippet to use with the m3_su_blog.chunk. I am still struggling to get a blog up and running.
The suggested (http://modxcms.com/blog-tutorial.html) link leaves me wondering where the pagetrail snippet is.

Any suggestion?

Basically, to create a blog you create a document, which represents an individual blog entry. I would place them all in one folder to make things easy, and then create a document with a ditto call to summarize the documents in that folder, and use the parameter &tpl=`m3_su_blog.chunk` as the template for that summary output. Pagetrail was replaced by Breadcrumbs, and that documentation is a little out of date. Check this out:

Great, did not even yet changed the param´s but just the snippet name so newspublisher to jot, and it works.
Soon I can start Photoshopping! Yes, thanks a lot.

I just downloaded the Beta-4 from the original post and plugged it into my site and it seems to work fine. Just to double check, try using the file I attached to this post. If that doesn’t work, what is the exact error you are getting?

Hmm. That is slightly different to mine. Maybe I have a copy of an old zip.

Just tried replacing the m3_login chunk with your attached, still got the same error -
"Incorrect username or password entered"

Still, seems strange as if I log in on another page (different template) and then switch to this one, I am logged in correctly, but if I then logout on this page and reattempt to log in I get the error.

Easiest thing will be to start from scratch tonight / tomorrow and make sure everything is correct! (and make sure I have the correct zip file!)

Thanks to both of you

Cheers

Yeah, it has something to do with m3_login.chunk, but I thought I fixed that when I updated to the beta-4. I have that exact chunk running on my test site and all is fine.

Well I’m a bit embarassed to say that everything is fine
Downloaded the beta-4 zip, set it up and its a-ok.
Thanks for your help

I’m a newbie to MODx and i’ve just tried to set up the Multiflex template as described in the installation instructions for the beta-4 download. I’ve managed to get quite far, but i can’t seem to get the content column pages to display when opening a page. The system simply displays an empty central content pane, with all the headers/footers/sidebars around it, not the content I’ve put in.

I’ve followed the instructions to the letter (as far as I can see), but the Ditto function on the menu-listed page doesn’t seem to be working to display the content columns, which are within a container and not visible on the menu, as instructed. I’ve got the ID value in the ditto function for each ’menu-visible’ page pointing at the correct container for the actual content pages, but it doesn’t seem to be making any difference. No matter what I seem to do, I can’t get the ditto function to work.

Any advice would be gratefully received!

What does your ditto call look like? Are the documents published? If you want to PM your site and login details I can take a look at it for you.

I make the content of the left and right columns in my templates TVs, such as [*#left*] and [*#right*], have the TVs input be textarea, usually I use @INHERIT for the defalt, then for each "parent" document just put whatever I want for the entire "section" of the site. Then you can edit them. Sometimes I find I need to use a chunk to contain another TV, but usually I can just put in the HTML, snippet calls and text I want. Then they each get their own little Edit button in QuickEdit mode.

Another issue, can I have users login over the website, so the "quickedit" buttons appear?
And thanks for all the replies so far. My site is almost finished, except for the content. Mostly thanks to jesster and you!


Grazie, Frank Los.

Currently, QuickEdit is only accessible to "Manager" users. As such, a "WebUser" can’t have access to quick edit. There is a snippet that would allow you to turn all WebUsers into Manager users called Web2Manager, or something similar (look in the repository). The easiest way to probably do it, is to create manager users for all the people you want to have frontend editing access.

For example...Under Security->Roles...create a role called "Editors" and check a box for "Edit Documents"

Then under Security->Managers Users, create a user assigned to the role of "Editors" and under the "User" tab set the user’s "Manager Login Startup" to say page 1.

This way they would go to:

http://www.yoursite.com/manager

They would login and get redirected to the homepage and could now see and use the quickedit functionality.

Hmm could have figured that out myself, stupid.
Thanks anyway,

One more, I can change the colore of the right container, however where do I change the one of the left container? Can´t seem to find the solution.

Best, Frank.
