How to manage external pages

Hi!! I would like to use modx for manage a web application:

I will use standard modx for the content
and then I need to create X new pages (with MVC structure) for manage informations like these: show records in a grid, detail of a specified record, delete records .... how can I create new external pages with the same layout and structure of modx framework?

Thanks

Nobody can help me??

I need to do this and I don’t know if with modx is it possible!

Thanks

Please please please help me!!

I still have the same problem :-(((

If you are wanting to create new manager pages, a module sounds like your best bet.

Just apply the same output HTML and CSS to your external MVC application. Or you could turn your MVC app into snippets.

Yes, but suppose that I want to use the same user/profile .... I don’t need only copy HTML/CSS I would like to use ModX framework for manage my new pages (pages used for show/manage records from other tables, for example a list of books with insert/update/delete features)

Thanks

You’d need to create custom snippets to do that for use in MODx from the front end (normal web page view). If you want to do that on the back end (Manager), you’d create a Module in Evo or 3rd Party Component in Revo. This approach would make the external application "native" to MODx, and a coder certainly should be able to adapt it to function as a Snippet or Module.

If you just want to display results and search them, you’d create a Snippet to build a view of your data and place it on a MODx-managed Resource (a web page in this case).

What does that mean?? You mean integrate my page in "back end" (admin area)???? No .... I need only add new pages for show/update/insert records from other DB tables!


Thanks for your reply!!

I’ve read this post about snippet

Can you post me a small example of how could I create a simple external page for view records using ModX structure?

Thanks

something like this? ->

adding, editing deleting custom db records via module ->
