Welcome to part 10 of our series of tutorials on building a website with MODx CMS. So far we've looked at: Part 1: Introduction to MODx Part 2: Installing MODx Part 3: Working with Templates Part 4: Introducing Chunks Part 5: Introducing Snippets Part 6: Introducing Template Variables Part 7: Introducing Ditto Part 8: More Ditto Part 9: Adding a Contact Form with eForm So far things are looking good on our Learn MODx website, and we're adding more functionality and hopefully building our skills with each of these tutorials.  My hope is that by this point you've developed enough of an idea of the way MODx works that you're moving on and exploring on your own, building and testing, and hopefully you know some things that I don't about MODx and it's workings :)  So far our website looks like this: tut10modxcms1 One of the things I find myself looking for in every website I visit is a search box or link.  Whether the website is a massive knowledge portal such as Wikipedia, or a social networking site, a blog, or just a simple company website, having the ability to search the website and find the information I need without clicking through numerous links is very important to me. It then follows that I would like to add search functionality to the websites I build. This what we're going to accomplish in this segment.

For those of us who've been using and learning the MODx content management system, it's exciting to know that MODx Revolution 2.0.0 beta 1 is now available for download and testing :)  There is no better time to jump in and get involved with MODx than right now!! MODx CMS What is MODx Revolution? MODx revolution is the new carnation of the MODx content management system. It features a completely new core code base and is supposed to be faster, more flexible, more powerful than the current MODx version (a.k.a Evolution) Why the name Revolution?

Welcome to part 9 of our series of tutorials on building a website with MODx CMS. So far we've looked at: Part 1: Introduction to MODx Part 2: Installing MODx Part 3: Working with Templates Part 4: Introducing Chunks Part 5: Introducing Snippets Part 6: Introducing Template Variables Part 7: Introducing Ditto Part 8: More Ditto As we work through these tutorials, we're building a MODx resource site called Learn MODx. So far we have a pretty functional website and I hope that you're picking up enough knowledge and interest along the way to experiment with MODx and add features and functionality to your website. In this installment, we're going to look at how to add a vital part of any website, the contact form, to our MODx website, using the eForm Snippet.

OK, this is my last call for submissions into the MODx blog contest.  I think almost everyone who had declared their intent to enter has submitted their entry, with the exception of a couple of people. So just a quick reminder to all, the contest ends Thursday at 11:59p Eastern Time (U.S).  At that time I will close the comments…
