I am building a website with the Modx CMS.
Now i want to have multiple content area's on one page.
My solution: create an extra TV, set the TV with form customisation to the content, so the tv is under the content.
I created a template looking like this:
[[$top]]
<h1>[[*pagetitle]]</h1>
[[*content]]
[[!myCustomSnippet]]
[[*Other Content]]
[[$bottom]]
After creating the TV, i've set it's region to modx-resource-content.
The result:
As you can see, the text is messing with the CKEditor.
Somebody any ideas how to fix this?
(Using version 2.3.1-pl)
If you are looking to get TVs appear under the content textarea, it is better to use MODX system setting to that. Please goto Settings, and search for tvs_below_content and set it to Yes.
By doing this, the TVs will appear under the content textarea on single page instead of having their own separate tab.
Hopefully this helps.

I'd like to create a custom drag and drop template so I can increase the design possibilities without losing the functionality. I can't find anything in their documentation.
I was hoping to create something like this, not sure if I'm missing something obvious but I can't find a drag and drop that allows for the different coloured background with columns too.
I could use a block of code but I can't edit the css styles so it wouldn't be responsive for mobile and also not very friendly for those who don't know html.
Rather old question, but to who it might be helpfull:
If you code your own template and upload it to Mailchimp you lose the 'drag & drop' system/UX interface with the different blocks. You are able to create repeatable blocks but then it works with a dropdown list. This is (in my humble opinion) not that user friendly and takes a while before you fully understand how to use the dropdown. I had to explain it to a client earlier today and took a while before they understood it, so I decided to write them a manual for it.
But the design you want to create should be possible to make with a standard MC template. In the 'design' tab you will find settings to control background colors etc.
Still not possible, answer from the Mailchimp support: "At the moment, it's not currently possible to code a drag and drop template completely--one of our drag and drop template layouts will need to be selected, but you can drop in Code blocks to get a little more control over the styling of certain sections."
Though, if it's any help, it is possible to fully custom code your own template, and then add in mailchimps special Template language to the template to open up sections as editable within the campaign builder--or even duplicate certain sections of content. It's not quite the same as the drag drop templates, but adds similar functionality. More info on working with template language can be found here: https://mailchimp.com/help/getting-started-with-mailchimps-template-language/
I know this is an old question, but while searching for this myself I stumbled upon a solution posted here.
Basically it is possible to code your own drag n' drop template, but the solution has not been documented.
Find one of the Mailchimp templates (either one of the basic templates or a custom template from the 'Themes' menu.
Use 'Inspect element' and copy the source code of the iFramed html-email.
Paste in your preferred HTML-editor and modify as intended
Create your own template from the 'Paste in code' mode
If you want custom modules to be added by default, edit using the menu 'Edit design' in the bottom of the screen.
Save and exit :)
I found part of the answer on another topic: [Is it possible to code drag&drop templates for mailchimp?
If you add the following code into your main content div or td it will enable the drag and drop block editor:
mc:container="body_container" mccontainer="body_container"
example:
<div mc:container="body_container" mccontainer="body_container"></div>
This code will add a block editor region to the preheader section:
mc:container="preheader_container" mccontainer="preheader_container"
For the header:
mc:container="header_container" mccontainer="header_container"
For the footer:
mc:container="footer_container" mccontainer="footer_container"
Note: It doesn't seem to matter what you call the mc:container. Creating a new container with a different name worked. Although using just mc:container tag seems to work at first by itself, the mccontainer (no colon) tag is required for it to save properly.
You can create your own drag and drop template you need to add the following into your html coded template where you want the 'drag and drop' feature to exist.
<div id="templateBody" mc:container="container_name" mccontainer="container_name" class="tpl-container">
<div mc:block="3502204" mc:blocktype="text" mcblock="3502204" mcblocktype="text" class="tpl-block"></div>
</div>
This can be repeated in your code multiple times for multiple insertions. I could not find documentation to indicate if the container name or block number needs to be unique, I did make it unique in my template.
Like in the topic: Is there a way to change this text? When I embed the code on my site the generated structure is flash and I can't access it. The only exception is the Chromium Browser which generates element and I can change the text via JS. But can I do something with the flash content or change this text somewhere on the issuu account page before publishing the content?
You can customize the Issuu viewer, haven't tryed it yet, but have a look at these pages, they should point you in the right direction:

Especially changing language and stuff shouldn't be too hard.
There's a module to do this in Drupal land, but I've been frustrated with the hacks that've been necessary in Wygwam. What is the best way to go about implementing this in such a way that you don't need to totally override the default image handling in ChannelImages/Wygwam?
Assets is a good suggestion, but I believe Devdemon's channel images might be a better fit for the workflow you're suggesting.
http://www.devdemon.com/channel_images/
Clients can add (and see) a caption and more and it's fully integrated with Wygwam and other editors. Devdemon's support is also excellent.
The Assets module from Pixel & Tonic allows you to double-click on the image (or any other file) and add metadata. You then have access to the metadata in your templates.
Check the screenshot: http://pixelandtonic.com/assets
You can also add metadata using the native File Manager. Click the edit icon from the File Manager and you'll see a few fields. You can use the File Entries tag to access it.
http://expressionengine.com/user_guide/modules/file/file_tag.html
I typically use Matrix with one column for the image, one column for the caption, and if a link is needed another column for the link. This of course works best if the image is in a fixed location within your template.
On possible way to accomplish this that I have used is to run some jQuery that looks for images within a certain area, and if they have alt attributes, rewrite the image tag within a tag with a tag inside.
so:
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
$('#page-content > .wrapper img').each(function(){
if($(this).attr('alt') !== undefined && $(this).attr('alt').length > 0){
if(!$(this).parent().hasClass('content-image')){
$(this).replaceWith("<figure class='content-image "+$(this).attr('class')+"'>"+$($('<div></div>').html($(this).clone().attr('class',''))).html()+"<figcaption>"+$(this).attr('alt')+"</figcaption></figure>");
}
}
});
});
will do just that. It's looking within a #page-content div for img tags with alt attributes. And then rewriting it as
<figure><img src='....' .... /><figcaption>This is the text that was in the alt attribute</figcaption></figure>
Soooo, that kinda works. The only caveat is that you had better not use any double-quotes within your alt text, or it will break thangs. Not the cleanest of solutions, but a solution, nonetheless.
I have a resource in ModX Revolution and I'm using some TVs but not the 'content' TV. So, it is not used & it confuses users who insert content into it which is not supposed to be displayed on the frontend.
How do I hide or remove the 'content' input from a particular template in ModX Revolution backend?
Fishcake is right, you should utilize the builtin form customization for this.
You have to:
Go to Security -> Form Customization
Create a new form customization profile.
Edit your newly created profile (right click).
Create a new form customization set for the 'Create'-Action.
Edit this set (right click).
Choose the template you want to restrict the customization to (other constraints are possible, too).
Remove the tick beneath modx-resource-content (Set information and fields tab).
Create another form customization set for the 'Update'-Action and repeat steps 5 - 7.
constraints. Have a look at the form customization sets documentation for a more lengthy explanation.
I've done this in Evolution using a plugin called ManagerManager.....a quick search later.....seems it is now native functionality to Modx Revolution: Customizing the manager
I am totally new to Joomla. I am trying to help a friend whose ISP has stopped support (for some internal reasons). We need to change the title of the home page.
1) The first place i made a change was in the 'Front Page Manager'. I changed the 'Title' column. The 'Show Title' parameter on this page is set to 'Global'. Yet the new title does not appear.
2) I then downloaded the entire site , consisting of 10,000 files and searched for the old title in all the files. I found the old title in one file which seemed to be used for SEO pruposes , since it had a whole lot of companies and their titles. I uploaded this file. No effect.
3) I then browsed through the database (MySQL) and changed old titles found in MetaKey and MetaDescription columns to new title. I think i checked all tables (almost 100 odd tables). No effect.
4) I found the old title in the 'Top Menu' item and changed it too.
I know this is a bit ambiguous but how could i troubleshoot the source of this title which does not get changed ?
Thanks,
Chak
Titles in Joomla come from several places. As Legycsapo said, the first place you should look is the default menu item. In the Parameters (System) the Page Title should override any other setting unless you have an extension that sets the page title. The Show Page Title option determines if the title shows up in the content, it does not affect the page title.
Try to change it in the menu options. In the mainmenu, click on the "Home" link, or whatever you write for Frontpage, and there are options in the right. The last one is the parameters, system, there is a "Website title" input box. Try there !
You need to change the home page title in the Control Panel Configuration.
In the Site tab you have the Site Name which is what will be written in the page title.
Another solution is, if you have SEF urls enabled, joomla has a native plugin called SEOsimple. Look under Plugin Manager, click on it and change the title to either disable so that it takes the title by default from global configuration or your custom one.
