Asides

Asides is a MODX Extra allowing you (and your clients) to easily manage "asides" on a website. You'll be able to quickly create chunks without having access to the Elements tab (and even without the new_chunk right).

Requirements

  • MODX Revolution 2.2+
  • TinyMCE

Configuration

  • Install via package manager.
  • Setup the asides.categoryId system setting to fit your needs (indicates the category ID where your chunks to be used as asides will be stored).
  • set aside TV input option value at @SELECT name FROM modx_site_htmlsnippets WHERE category = 3 (where 3 is the category ID where your chunks will belong)
  • allow aside TV to access your desired templates
  • in those templates, set [[Asides? &source=``[[*aside]]`` &wrapper=``aside.wrapper``]]
  • you now should be good to go!

Note: setting "Lock chunk for editing" as activated prevents the chunk edition

Credits

This Extra is based on some MODX community members, see :

It also makes use of MadeMyDay's sortable checkbox TV :

This Extra is, of course, based on the exellent modExtra from Shaun McCormick :
