How to create a new page?

Hello.

I have a situation like this: . This is my mobile homepage template and it has a few different pages. Once I click on one of them, I want to be redirected to another page: .

I have a simple HTML/CSS/JS mobile template and what I have done up at this point is imported everything into my root modx folder and created a Home template. Now I want to create additional pages for those button from the home page. I'm trying to go to Resources > New Document and create a new page this way, but then I'm creating it and setting a template to my new imported one (named "Home Template)", it just opens up my home template but not the page I have created. What am I doing wrong? Thank you.

You need to have the URL point to the desired resource; usually using a MODX link tag like [[~2]] to point to resource #2. If you have "friendly URLs" enabled, so that you can use domain.com/page.html, you also need to have a server rewrite, if Apache a set of .htaccess mod_rewrite rules, or if nginx the appropriate rewrite directives in its configuration file.

A common reason for having the 'home' page display when you are expecting something else is that you have the MODX 'page not found' error_page system setting set to redirect to resource #1 (usually the home page). You should always create a dedicated 'not-found' resource, and change the system setting to that resource ID#, just so you can clearly see what is going on.

Hi and thank you for quick response.

Whatever I do, it just doesn't find my page.

Here, I'm creating a page named "Sports" with ID of 4:


Then I'm referencing this ID inside my Home Template (which has all the buttons):
and what I got is redirect to the home template (or 404 Not Found).

EDIT: I did a little test and created a WebLink (instead of a document) and it worked. It got redirected to external link from my page with the same technique I'm using. But it doesn't work with a document. It shows in the address bar that I'm referencing Sports index.php?id=4, but it doesn't show my page content.

EDIT 2: When I change a template from my home template to the base template, it shows up the content without any problems (then I click on the SPORTS button/link, it's being redirected to the actual content). [ed. note: diamond007 last edited this post 11 years, 5 months ago.]

do you have



in the head?

No, I didn't have this. I added to my head chunk file, but it's the same - when I press on one of the buttons in the home page, I get the same home page. I have created a 404 page and it works fine then I am trying to write "whatever" in by address bar (I get that error), but with those buttons it's still being redirected to the home page template.

One way I managed to create a page (with good redirection) is with a brand new template for that page and in the content area I wrote HTML static code for that page. But it's not a good thing (I think) to have different templates for all the pages I have in my mobile website.

I'm probably missing something, but I have went through a lot of tutorials online for creating documents (pages) with ModX, and I just don't know why I cannot do this simple thing.

Breakthrough of what I did:

1. Created a new HOME TEMPLATE which has HTML/CSS/JS code of my mobile template homepage.
2. Created a chunk to store my header data.
3. Created a page SPORTS, set template to my HOME TEMPLATE, set resource alias to SPORTS.
4. Added <base href="[[++site_url]]"> to my HEAD tag.

what is the content of your template and head-chunk now?

How do you have Friendly URLs configured?
