My site has two types of pages that I need to add. One type are imagemaps which I've had working for years in html. I have around 4 one-page custom imagemaps. Do I need to link to html in Modx Rev or is there a feature for this?

Another type of page are country pages which are Tables. These usually have 3 columns and may be 20-25 rows. Column 1 usually carries an image. Is there an easy to use table plugin for Modx or must I code all these in html?

I have no problem buying plugins but I can't afford to spend another 2K for an install with an empty shell. On Windows-10, apparently no technical problems, just "how do I"? No, googling youtube videos hasn't been useful. Note: the inability to handle large #'s of images is why I left WordPress, Modx apparently has no such limitations.

Those come first. sorry, thumb down.

Great smiley

Or with pdoResources or getResources to retrieve a bunch of page properties such as creating a list of links:

[[pdoResources?
    &parents=`77`
    &depth=`0`
    &tpl=`@INLINE

I stuck the pdoResources call {also tried pdoMenu} in my template but nothing happened. I downloaded & installed the pdoTools which I guess has the pdoResources.
At least it doesn't give an http 500 error like WayFinder. However nothing happens using the parents of 39 and the depth =1 {also tried 0}. Maybe my content is full page as I don't know how to put stuff into containers, so there's no room for the menu?]]> julius nepos May 11, 2018, 04:58 PM https://forums.modx.com/thread/103807/how-create-menu-items?page=3#dis-post-558500 <![CDATA[Re: How create Menu items]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/103807/how-create-menu-items?page=3#dis-post-558496 Quote from: julius at May 11, 2018, 01:40 PM

Thus getting back to menus, I guess I should drop wayfinder and concentrate on learning pdoMenu?

They're the same essentially, but pdomenu has a few more options. Both are fit for your purpose.]]> lkfranklin May 11, 2018, 02:07 PM https://forums.modx.com/thread/103807/how-create-menu-items?page=3#dis-post-558496 <![CDATA[Re: How create Menu items]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/103807/how-create-menu-items?page=2#dis-post-558495 Quote from: lkfranklin at May 10, 2018, 02:40 PM
Or just recreate the snippet based on the code in the screenshot smiley

Snippet name = blogit.lexicon_load

<!--?php
$modx--->lexicon->load('blogit:default');
return '';

Thanks very much, I recreated the blogit.lexicon_load Actually it was a Chunk.

From Modx Pro docs:
pdoMenu
Menu generator snippet. It can replace Wayfinder, and allows more flexibility to specify properties.
For example, it can build menus from several parents, showing them both together and as separate branches.
Provides a substantial increase in speed, although only on first page view if the Wayfinder menu is cached.

Okay, note that a blog was not a priority: the 1st is in getting the website back up which is apparently more complex than many. Also while I've done some html, I've never fully utilized css and am trying to learn it now. Thus the big priority is getting my Template to work on 1)Home Resource 2)ImageMap Resource 3)Table Resources

Thus getting back to menus, I guess I should drop wayfinder and concentrate on learning pdoMenu?

That poor, poor snippet #15, but it does mean the blogit extra will not work now, or probably not. But, if you were to uninstall the extra "blogit" and install again it would come back]]> nuan88 May 10, 2018, 02:37 PM https://forums.modx.com/thread/103807/how-create-menu-items?page=2#dis-post-558471 <![CDATA[Re: How create Menu items]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/103807/how-create-menu-items?page=2#dis-post-558448

Yeah that's correct. So if for example your south-america resource has an id of 77 then you can link to it directly from other pages using:

<a href="[[~77]]">Direct Link</a>


In pdoMenu you can create a menu just from this resource and its parents by setting the &parent property to 77, for example:

[[!pdoMenu? &parents=`77`]]


Or with pdoResources or getResources to retrieve a bunch of page properties such as creating a list of links:

[[pdoResources?
    &parents=`77`
    &depth=`0`
    &tpl=`@INLINE <a href="[[~[[+id]]]]>[[+pagetitle]]</a>`
]]
