    Hello to everybody.

    I’m new to Modx and am in the process of converting an existing site to modx.
    The previous site had a custom cms, but I want to move it to something more stable

    So far it’s working fine, and I really like Modx (Wayfinder is really amazing)

    The only thing I can’t fingure out to do is this:

    On the site there is a box system, that is a set of boxes that are in the side of the pages
    The boxes used are these (http://vertexwerks.com/tests/sidebox/). The old CMS had a place
    where you could make these boxes and the when you created a page, you could chose which boxes
    that would be on that page.

    Is there anyway to make something similar in modx ? huh

    Regards
    Christian

      I think Chunks would work well for these. You can then use TVs to select which chunks to place in each page.

        I’m still new to modx so could you explain a little ? I looked and the chunk based tvs, but could you elaborate a little?

          To anyone who might be interested, I found this guide which is exactly what i was looking for. Damn it Modx is smart.
