    Hi, I've started using modx this week and think its absolutely fantastic. Everything has gone amazingly well and I'm quite shocked at how quickly the project has come together. I have one issue however in that I require customer testimonials to be displayed on several templates (being called from a chunk). I am using Articles to post news to the site and was thinking I could use Articles to post customer testimonials to these templates and have them in a slide show (the jquery is fine for me to do). I wasn't sure how to do this and was wondering if it was possible to articles to do this out of the box or if I could use getResources to do it. Could someone shed some light on how to do this please as I am at a loss.

    Thanks

      I wonder if Quip might be a better choice, since you don't really need a lot of the overhead that comes with Articles/Resources.

        Thanks for your suggestion, in the end I resorted to making a custom snippet to retrieve the relevant data from a parent article node. It seems to be working fine.

          A custom snippet is almost always the most efficient way.
