MODX EXTRA
NewsPublisher
Edit Resources in the front end
Creator: Bob Ray (bobray)
3.0.3-pl (1783 KB) Other VersionsAbout NewsPublisher
New Features -- No more extJS/modExt. No more dependence on the MODX TinyMCE extra. Uses the elFinder browser. Allows image editing (crop, rotate, resize) in browser. Loads TinyMCE 4 from tinymce.com. Automatically redirects to Login page for not-logged-in users. 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.
