Please I need your help urgently;
I want to create three CMPs and I want to use migx but to be honest, I don't know to put all together for it to work. I've spent four days on it and still nothing.
I want to have a dropdown menu at the very topnav...
eg;
Focus
Regions
Districts
Data
Regions will have create region where when clicked will bring a form to type the region name and save to database.
Districts too will be the same just that all the regions entered will be in a select box where you select a region and enter the district name in the textbox and save to a database.
Data section, needs to have two selectboxes where by when u select region it loads districts in the other selectbox.
I can do this in raw php script with jquery, but don't know how to go about it in modx.... just recently that I tried my hands on modx and I love it. Now am face with this and don't know what to do. please help me on this.
thanks

If you're comfortable with PHP you could bypass ExtJS/MIGX and just put the php directly in a Controller.
Follow these instructions:
http://rtfm.modx.com/revolution/2.x/developing-in-modx/advanced-development/custom-manager-pages/custom-manager-pages-in-2.3
In the Controller file, you could do something like this:
<?php
class MycmpWelcomeManagerController extends modExtraManagerController {
public function process(array $scriptProperties = array()) {
// this is where you can do your own PHP
// $_GET params are available in $scriptProperties. $_POST variables may also be in there, but not 100% sure,
// do not use echo here, just return a string at the end
return '<p>Hello world!</p>';
}
public function getPageTitle() {
return 'My Test CMP';
}
public function getTemplateFile() {
return 'welcome.tpl';
}
}
when you are saying, you have nothing after 4 days, what did you try?
where did you start?
what doesn't work?
there are several Tutorials on rtfm, where you can start with.
do you have a xpdo-schema allready?
@Mark thanks for you response
@Bruno, thanks for the response, I have been able to used the migx but still have problems on how to get a selectbox in the FormTabs section.
As I stated in my early post, I want the first selectbox to list categories from the database and on select a category it should populate the items in a different selectbox base on the first selectbox.
I have attached a sample of what am trying to do.
thanks
