How do I create new documents?

Hi,

for my MODx powered site, I want to create a collaborative book where users can add pages to the book and others can add comments.

Now, I could use Jot, but somebody was asking about using Jot for a forum, and it was hinted that it might not scale well. So, I’m thinking the same thing about a book. Pages in a book will not be archived (like in a blog).

So, what I really need to be able to do is to create documents from the user side. e.g. I have a book document container which has inside it some section document containers, each section has a "Add Page" link. This link takes the user to a form where the page content can be edited. A submit button will then create a new document in that section’s container. Ditto is also being used to collate the pages inside the section container so that they can be viewed on the section as a table of contents.

Does anyone know how to achieve this functionality?

I am using the following for development:

Linux rogue 2.6.19-gentoo-r5 #1 PREEMPT Sun Feb 25 17:00:29 GMT 2007 i686 AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

dev-db/mysql-5.0.26-r2
dev-lang/php-5.2.1-r3
net-www/apache-2.0.58-r2

and MODx 0.9.6rc1

Thanks,
Luke.

See NewsPublisher snippet.

I thought that the NewsPublisher snippet was deprecated in favour of Jot and Ditto?

Luke.

NewsListing was replaced by Ditto. UserComments were replaced by Jot.

NewsPublisher is in need of an update, but hasn’t been deprecated.

you could take a look at newsmanager and news editor works better than newspublisher and it has support for tv’s
