[ask] how to add new custom manager menu

hi, i’m noob here...
is there possible to add custom manager menu in modx evo? i know that it’s possible in modx revo but revo isn’t stable yet so revo is not an option for me this time...

Can you give more details about what you need.
I’m sure it’s possible using a plugin. Have a look at managerManager for inspiration.

Can you give more details about what you need.

example: i need to create new type of content called biography where i need more fields compared to the standard field such as title and body (i use this example from one of drupal tutorial). In this custom content first i need to create custom database tables, let’s just say that i need extra row for birthdate field, work field, summary field, and some other fields. The easiest workflow that i can think of is that i create custom database table that contain all custom fields that i need, then i create custom manager page where i can filled a custom form for that custom table. then i’ll call those fields from regular content body using snippet. to do that i need to create custom manager menu that can call that custom manager page

You wouldn’t need custom database tables, just use Template Variables, which are built into MODx for each of those extra fields.

If there’s going to be enough entries that a custom DB table makes sense, you’d want to create a custom Module for the Manager to act as a data editing interface.
