In this installment, we’re going to work with the getResources snippet to start bringing together a “news” page on our site, and we will present it using the blog template page from our theme. So let’s get started 🙂 Continue reading “MODx Revolution for Complete Beginners Part 10 – Using getResources to Aggregate Content”
In this brief tutorial, I am going to show you how to add the capability to send and receive attachments with your FormIt form. This tutorial will be building on the MODx Revolution Beginner series and therefore we will just add to the contact form we created in the FormIt tutorial. I therefore recommend that if you’re not familiar with FormIt you read that tutorial first.
