Please help, I am new!

change your base href also.
Evo:
<base href="[(site_url)]" />
Revo:
<base href="[[++site_url]]" />

and of course, the charset

Brilliant! That looks like it’s solved it. I was looking at evo tutorials, didn’t even realise there was a difference until goldsky mentioned it.

Next step is implementing a custom image on the ’what’s on’ page and I’m almost there.

Incidentally, the client wants to be able to update a menu page as a linked pdf - is it possible to setup a linked pdf that can be updated via ModX? This is something I haven’t done any researching into yet and will be the last thing to be implemented so this is not a high priority compared.

Thanks again!

you can set the resources as a ’weblink’ and set the weblink’s value to be addressed to the file.

Hey ModX,

I have made progress on the site and it’s almost ready to go - there are just a few more things to sort out before I am ready to look at creating a user for the client (which I assume has it’s own pitfalls and issues).

I have got my customisable rich text fields working correctly with my template variables, and I have created an image TV that acts as a link via creating it as part of a chunk. The client will be able to update the link and the image, and the text on the areas defined as editable.

My problem now is the image resizing - the client will be delivered images that are way too big for the site (as you can see in the above link). I’ve had a look on some forums and there seem to be lots of different approaches with how best to solve these issues.

What can I do to resize? I initially thought I would be able to include it as part of the code in the chunk like so:


or similar, but this was causing the image to disappear and display just the text in it’s place.

I had a look at TVimageResizer, but that seems to be an evo spec rather than revo, and I haven’t used php enough to have any idea of what to do with that...

How can I get my images sized correctly?



My other issue will be the need to give the client a way of updating a pdf menu, to be a web link on the food page. I want the pdf to be opened in a new page or downloaded so it doesn’t disturb the flow of the site, what might be a good way to achieve this?

Thanks again,

I have a persistent problem with a big image uploading for easy 2 gallery.
There is a limitation on the PHP’s GD library, that too big images will cause an unexpected error.
You should ask your client to resize their images before uploading.
The best maximum size would be around the 1000 pixels range.
If they use Windows, I’d recommend XnView.

For the pdf,
if you’re using the redirect resource type, you can fill the ’Link Attributes:’ with _blank
