Simple website : I am lost

Here’s a little more information for you.

If all you need is a simple contact form, you can use SPForm. It’s not in the repository yet but you can find it here:

For more information about snippets, chunks, etc. and how to use them, look here:

http://bobsguides.com/MODx.html

The site is far from finished and I hope to have more information there about specific snippets eventually but it will give you another overview of how MODx works.

ProWesbscape’s approach in this thread looks good to me. Make sure that the "container" checkbox is checked on the blank documents that will be containers for your content documents (e.g. the Members page and Research page). Also, be sure to use backticks rather than single quotes to delimit any snippet parameters.

Just a new message in order to say that I am keep on trying to manage with MODx. I do not have much free time, so I do it little by little.

Anyway, I also want to tell you that I started a new thread, looking for suggestions, and am still waiting for some answer:

http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,22357.msg137759.html

I promise I will post a thread about my experience with MODx when I finish my web site —whenever it be.

Thank you again for your help!
