    How to:

    1. Allow every anonimous user publish new article without registration by filled simple form with some textfields: "Your name", "Your e-mail" "Article text here" and button "Publish this". No registration requeried, publish immidiatly.

    2. Create article categories and make them selectable at the new articles form for anonimous users.

    3. Make a block with new articles frontlines at the frontpage of the site.

    Is it simple with MODx?

      Hello!

      Yes, you can do that fairly easily with Jot. Jot is a snippet that’s meant for adding comments to a weblog, but I think it’d be perfect for this as well.

      2. Create article categories and make them selectable at the new articles form for anonimous users.
      That I don’t know, sorry. Anyone..?

      3. Make a block with new articles frontlines at the frontpage of the site.
      You can do that with the Ditto snippet. It’s not very hard. Good luck!
        Thanks for MODx - I love it!

        If you mean like a guestbook or commenting form, use Jot snippet. If you mean that you want to make it possible to make actual documents, look at FDM. You might have to modify it to make it allow anonymous document creation.

        Create a TV what holdes the categories. When creating a new document through MODx manager or FDM, user can select the category from the TV. The TV can be a drop down list, select list, checkbox list etc..

        Use Ditto.

        It will take some time to understand how things work in MODx and how the snippets in question works. All the snippets named above are quite complex and very customizable, so you need to do some studying first. It will not be a "single-click-and-go" thing to setup..
