Starting developing in MODX Revo. Got a problem with writing snippets, can’t find function list like one for Evo here http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/API:DocumentParser
For exmaple I need to build a simple menu and don’t want to use wayfinder.
In Evo I just go like this:
<?
$list = $modx->getDocumentChildren(0,1,0,"*","hidemenu=0");
foreach ($list as $li) echo $modx->parseChunk("menu_td",$li,"[+","+]");
?>
And that’s it. But this does not work in Revo. So what do I need to use?
I think Wayfinder would do exactly that pretty easily, but in Revo, I think it would look something like this:
$list = $modx->getCollection('modResource', array('parent'=>'0', 'published'=>'1','deleted'=>'0');
foreach($list as $li) {
$output .= $modx->getChunk('menu_td',$li->toArray());
}
return $output;
You’ll have to change the placeholders in the menu_td chunk to this form:
That will give you the immediate children. If you want children of children, you’d have to use $modx->getChildIds() or $resource->getMany(’modResource’,’Children’);

Hi, I have just finished installing v 2.0 into my site and did an Import of the HTML files. have figure out that I needed to add TinyMCE before I can edit any pages. Did minor edit and hit Save with Publish ticked. I expected it to change the LIVE site but it didnt. I have a horrible feeling MODx doesnt work this way ....Am I right?
It sounds right to me. You may have to clear the cache and/or empty your browser cache.

BobRay Thanks alot. But can you please point me to some place where I can find info about those functions? Some place like http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/API for MODx Evo.
There’s some information here:

The full API is here:

I have a site that is currently in use, and I want to rebuild it with MODx. Is it possible, or practical, to install and build the new site on a different/test server until everything is working, and then simply FTP the files/folders to the live server? How do people build and test new sites before over-writing the current sites? My concerns would be with broken links and database setup, but I’m sure there’s a much easier way. Thx.

Yes, that’s the usual method.
Here’s the general procedure:

It varies a little depending on the version of MODx.
Hello Someone. I just want the most basic CMS for a bit of text for a few pages of a simple site. How much do I need to know to do this? I use Dreamweaver and the site is already done. www.latonnellerie.com.
Been recommended ModX so hope that I can stick with this after downloading loads that just seem too do more than I need and too hard to learn.
