Page Links from Content or in Chunks

Hi Ppl,
This is my first newbie post so please be gentle. Where/how do i link to pages inside a chunk or where can i find the page url to do so?

I have a footer (as a chunk) and need to add some links to pages i have made i.e. site map/privacy/contact and yet I cant find any documentation that makes sense on how to link to these pages?

Am I being thicker than a whale omlette? I am used to using Joomla and people say it has a long-learning curve but I found it much easier to grasp than Modx...

anyone help?
Thanks.

You create links with [~xxx~] tags, where xxx is the document ID of the page you want to link to. Document IDs are the numbers in () you see to the right of the document names in the Document Tree in the Manager.


You can also put those documents in a "container" document, and use Wayfinder to generate your menu. I usually don’t do that for such a small, simple menu that isn’t going to change, since calling a snippet just adds more overhead to the page generation.

Thanks for the quick reply susan i appreciaite it becuase it’s been driving me mad this afternoon (UK) ... i’ll give it a go.

(Don’t tell everyone - but the Modx code is much leaner and cleaner than Joomla )

(we know that... why do you think we use MODx? )

Thanks for the link... wish I had that sooner ... maybe would have saved a few hairs - I found it much easier to comprehend than the Wiki etc! Nice work.
