    Hello. First of all, WOW! MODX is amazing! Have some questions though.

    How do I change the name of the buttons? Etc the home button to start? I know I can change the title but how do I change name of the buttons? Can I add more buttons in the menu, and how to add menu buttons?

    It says that MODXCSS is the default theme, but it still shows the default one, how do I change it to one of the CSS styles I could preview in the styles page? I tried to change it to all of the 3 available in the tools and settings menu, but how do I use one of the nice CSS layouts at the Templates page?

    " * Trend (Default)
    * Trend (Alternate)
    * ZiX (Clean)
    * ZiX (Background)
    * Light
    * Light Green
    * Dark
    "

    ? I click change template on the Templates page (to a CSS layout) but when I click home again it shows the default template again.

    Edit: Ahh, that worked after I changed the default template to the CSS one, and when I apply another CSS layout it changes, but will it change for all visitors too?

    Where do I find all my new pages I have made if they won’t become a new navigation item? EDIT: Aha cool, it become a navigation item! But as I said, how do I change the name of the existing ones? Also, can I reorder the menu navigation order? EDIT: Aha, I choose 1 and it moved, but is there any way to change it so is ahead the home navigation item? Or is that 0?

    Also where can I find more templates/layouts and apply them? Is it long till the 1.0 release, will it be easy to update? SMF Bridge or any other forum bridge yet?
    Looks very very nice I must say! wink

    Might come with tons of questions.

    Edit: There is a login box on the front page, I login with my login name, but it doesn’t work? It says wrong password. I am already logged in since I am working in the ACP. Yes I tried change password again and it still says wrong password. ODD! I have to login with the siteadmin user, also when I "wasn’t" logged as a user, it changed the theme and the theme is also there for the admin? How do I change the CSS theme for all users?

    How can I show my latest blog entry on the front page, what HTML code for that? Can I use HTML in the editor?

    When an user sends a message in the contact us? Where does it come? It didn’t come in the Messages in the ACP or in my email. How do I add a news item? I added a blog item but it didn’t show up.

    Regards,
    Alexander

      Wow, many questions... but you seem to solve the most your self smiley

      Have you found the manual for MODx and the wiki? I know it’s boring to start reading instead of testing, but much of what you’re asking for (and lot’s more) would be answered if you read available documentation.

      To change the name of a menu item, just edit the docuemt and set the "Menu Title" to what ever you want to be diplayed in the menu.

      To make a document show up in the menu it both need to be published and set to "Show in menu".

      Good luck and welcome to MODx laugh
