Blog Issues in MODx

Hi guys,

I’m new to MODx and PHP, so bare with me...

I’m setting up a blog on a site I’m developing and I’ve come up with this few issues:

1.On my FormBlogComments chunk I’ve got this:


So only web users included in the `NoticiasAdmin` group should be allowed to post comments, but it seems that everybody that enters the site can post, even nonregistered users.


2.Is there a way to specify a certain page to load after the login is made? It seems that the browser is always told to load the index page after the login. I wanted it to load a certain page inside a certain frame.

3.When I make a new post, it doesn’t show up on the blog, I have to delete some old post, then the new ones show up. Cacheable is off.

4. How can I specify wich template is to be used for new posts?

Thank you very much for your help on this.

1. I would suggest to use Jot as commenting snippet

2. I belive there is a parameter for that. See available parameters in the beginning of the snippet code. Also see the WebloginPE snippet, it has many enhancements.

3 - 4. I would suggest to try FDM snippet for front end blog posting. But there should be also parameter for what template to use, see the beginning of the snippet for the parameters.
