2.1.0-pl (247 KB) Other VersionsAbout NewsPublisher
Update note: Requires MODX 2.2 or greater.
New Features -- Duplicate button, Delete button, OwnPagesOnly option. See changelog for full list.
NewsPublisher presents a modifiable form for creating new resources and editing existing resources in the front end of a web site. The NpEditThisButton snippet is also included, which displays a button to launch NewsPublisher for the current page.
NewsPublisher responds to the MODx security permissions for a page. Users without the appropriate permissions cannot create or edit pages they are not authorized to access.
You can now have multiple edit buttons on a single page and can place edit buttons in the Tpl chunk of getResources or any other aggregator snippet.
