Electrons function as a bonding mechanism for atomic systems

Below you'll find a list of all Template Variables (TVs) in the library. TVs define things on template level. If you're looking for a way to control things globally, check out the adjacent Configuration Settings.

Configuration Settings

Team members that worked on this item. You can only select persons listed on your Team page, so if you want to add external contributors: add them to the team page first (can be unpublished).

Connect the related organization(s). If this list is empty, you need to create an Organizations container first and register its ID under System Settings.

Connect a person to this item. This list is populated with all the persons that are listed on your Team page.

Connect a MODX user to this item. Only active users will be shown.

e_content

Where would you like to be able to place this CTA?

Select a background for this footer. You can define these backgrounds under Global Content > Backgrounds. Will also be inherited by default.

This CTA will be displayed above the footer itself. It will have a different background than the rest of the footer, which you can select below. Inherited by default.

Select a background for the CTA. To make it stand out, select a background that contrasts nicely with the footer background. Also inherited by default.

Select which elements to display on child pages of this resource too. NB: Turning inheritance OFF for an element returns it to its default value, but that is not reflected in the manager!

Choose which content to display inside the footer. You can add different footers under Global Content > Footers. A default footer can be defined under Configuration, or as context setting.

If you turn this off, the closing footer section will not be displayed. Inherited by default, but you can change this with the Inheritance setting below.

Select a background for this header. You can define these backgrounds under Content > Global Content > Backgrounds. Will also be inherited by default.

Use an Overview image as background. This overrides the regular Background setting above and will NOT be inherited. If you want to repeat an image on child pages, add it as Global Background.

Select a CTA for display in header. CTAs are located in Global Content. If a CTA is selected, all Title values will be ignored but Background settings still apply. Not inherited by default.

Select which elements to display on child pages of this resource too. NB: Turning inheritance OFF for an element returns it to its default value, but that is not reflected in the manager!

This will be displayed under the main title. Will also be inherited on child pages by default.

Title below the navigation bar. The text will automatically be inherited on child pages. You can override this behaviour by entering a new title or by deleting the inherited value.

If you turn this off, the page starts with the content area but the navigation bar will still be visible. Inherited by default, but you can change this with the Inheritance setting below.

Point to external sources, to add some scientific credibility to your content. You can automatically attach these links to content references by activating the setting under Navigation.

Connect any available static resource(s) to this page. Presently, this is not being shown in any template, so it's up to you to implement it as you see fit.

This will also create a relation on the linked page. You can (and should!) link to other pages in your content whenever relevant, but this makes it easier to generate lists of related pages.

Try to turn the content purpose into a short summary. What are the main take-aways? Why are they important? And why should people listen to you? Add links to examples if you want.

What kind of action do you want the visitor to take after viewing this content? View related content, get in touch, subscribe to your newsletter, buy your product, donate to your cause...

Give an overview of the main page structure. Like a table of contents, but feel free to add ideas in between.

Zoom out a little and ask yourself: do we really need this page? And do we need it now? If it turns out to be neither urgent nor important, consider deleting it again.

Select the primary function(s) of this content. You can focus on just 1 topic, or create a chain of topics to use as blueprint for your storyline.

Describe the desired effect of this page. How did it help the visitor? And what good will that do for you?

Decide what writing style to adopt for this page. Formal, fun, pragmatic, provocative...

Select a CTA for display in sidebar (under the submenu). CTAs are located in Global Content.

Select which settings should apply on child pages of this resource too. NB: Turning inheritance OFF for an element returns it to its default value, but that is not reflected in the manager!

To avoid a sticky mess, this behaviour will only be applied to the last element inside the sidebar. In most cases, that's the submenu. But if you select a CTA, then that will stick instead.

Who is responsible for editing and maintaining this page?

What is the current condition of this page?

What is the current development stage of this page?

How can we make this page better? Or do you have technical issues?

Keep track of the project's progress and see what's coming up next. You can also link to related project files and resources from here, so you can find them back more easily.

Optional. This is the address where the messages appear to be sent from. Can be a non-existing address, like [email protected]. Defaults to emailsender system setting.

Optional. This is the name that will (probably) be visible in the recipients' inbox. Defaults to site_name system setting.

The content of the email that will be sent. You can use placeholders here from the form fields with the following syntax: . So with ID prefix and hyphenated field name.

Optional. This address will be used when recipient replies to this message directly. Defaults to respectively the client_email and emailsender system setting.

IMPORTANT! For the autoresponder to know which email address to use, the Input (Email) field needs to be present in the form.

Page containing the ConfirmRegister snippet for email activation. Enter page ID or drag the page from the menu tree to this input field. Defaults to the activation_resource_id system setting.

Whether or not new users need to activate their account via email. IMPORTANT! For the activation process to know which address to use, the Input (Email) field needs to be present in the form.

Number of minutes until the activation email expires. Defaults to 3 hours.

If switched on, any extra fields in the form are added to the extended field in the user profile.

Name of the form field that will receive the full name of the user. Handy when using email address as username. You can use the label name of the CB field here, or the input name in the HTML.

Name of the form field that will receive a password. If empty, a password will be generated instead. You can use the label name of the CB field here, or the input name in the HTML.

Optional. A comma-separated list of user group names or IDs to add the newly-registered user to.

Optional. The name of the form field that decides which user groups the new user will belong to. You can use the label name of the ContentBlock field here, or the name in the HTML.

Name of the form field that will receive the username. You can use the label name of the CB field here, or the input name in the HTML. Tip: consider using the email address here..

Name of the chunk containing your own customized (HTML) email template. Make sure there is a placeholder in there for listing the fields.

Place any snippet / FastField call here that outputs a single email address. WARNING: populating this field will override the default recipient address, so test thoroughly!

Prefix used by the chunks containing the HTML for the template rows. After this prefix follows an ID (i.e. fbEmailRow_28), connecting that chunk to the correct ContentBlocks field.

A snippet name (or comma separated list of names), containing the hook(s). They are executed after the form is submitted, but before any emails are sent. Useful for writing to the database.

A snippet name (or comma separated list of names), containing the hook(s). They are executed before the form is initialised. Useful for pre-loading values.

Place any element here that is able to decide where to redirect the user after form submission. If the result is empty, it falls back on the ID provided under general settings.

A snippet name (or comma separated list of names), containing the hook(s). They are executed when the form loads and all pre-hooks are finished. Useful for fetching session data.

Store data in a session before redirecting the user to a confirmation / thank you page, or to another form (as part of a multi-page form). Use FormItRetriever to access the data again.

If 'store data' is switched on, this specifies the number of seconds to store the submitted form data. Defaults to five minutes.

The content of the activation email. Make sure it contains the placeholder for the confirmation link!

Optional.

Optional. Defaults to emailsender system setting.

Save submitted data in the database. You can view this data under Top menu > Extras > FormIt.

Defaults to Send.

Where would you like to use this background?

DEPRECATED - DO NOT USE ANYMORE! Backgrounds in this grid still work, but use the new resource-based backgrounds instead to ensure proper functionality in the future.

Full site URL of the domain to compare with (the live domain for example). If you leave this empty, each page will be tested against an older version of itself.

Select the author of this article. He or she must be a MODX user. This value is inherited on child pages.

Enable or disable comments. This value is inherited on child pages.

How did the user value this product or service?

In what field is this organization active?

What type of organization is this?

How many employees does this organization have?

Please fill in the complete URL (including http(s)://).

If you can't supply an SVG, don't worry. You can upload an image here instead. The minimum width of their logo is 600px, but to keep your website pretty, aim for at least 900px.

You'll likely get the best (sharpest) results when uploading an SVG. Try to keep the aspect ratio around 16:9 for best results.

Please fill in the complete URL (including http(s)://).

A headshot of this person.

A headshot of the same person, but with a loose, personal twist to it. A big smile, or funny expression... This can be used in areas and situations where a little playfulness is allowed.

Give all headings on this page (H1-H6) an ID (if they don't have one already). This allows you (or the ToC menu) to link directly to that heading. This setting is inherited on child pages.

Turn references to an external link (the ones you created under TVs > Links) into an actual link. Links are referenced by their number value and must be enclosed in square brackets: [12].

Do you want to display a set of buttons below the content that link to the previous and next article? This setting is inherited on child pages.

This is enabled by default, to prevent ending up in empty space if the content of the next page is shorter. Disable this if you're using multiple paginated overviews on the same page.

Select which hierarchy levels are allowed in the ToC menu (if present). This setting is inherited on child pages.

Do you want to display a toolbar on this page? The default toolbar contains breadcrumbs and search functionality. This setting is inherited on every child page.

Select an icon of the icon font that's being used in this project. Check the style guide for available classes, or use the autocomplete search as you type.

This can be pretty much anything, but please make sure the SVG has a square aspect ratio.

Mention the designer of this icon here, so they are credited appropriately on the site. You need to do this if you're using icons published under a CC license, for example from Noun Project.

This image doesn't have a fixed aspect ratio or any minimum dimensions. Use it as you see fit. Cropping is optional. NB! Be aware that images will probably have different sizes in overviews!

This is the default overview image, in a regular 4:3 aspect ratio.

This is an image with 21:9 aspect ratio, for use in headers or layout backgrounds.

This is a standing image in 3:4 aspect ratio, best suited for floating left or right of content, or for display on mobile devices.

This is an image in 1:1 aspect ratio, for use in cards, avatars or circular images.

This is an image with widescreen proportions, in 16:9 aspect ratio.

With this setting, you can indicate which image type you prefer if the system has a choice.

When filled in, this value will override the button text defined in the Overview ContentBlock. Keep in mind that if no button text is set in Overview CB, no button will be shown!

When filled in, this value will override the default subtitle (if subtitle is enabled in the Overview CB settings).

AUTOGENERATED! This path is used when server pushing the critical CSS. By default a unique file is generated for each page, but templates can also share a single CSS file (see Configuration).

Electrons, according to Wikipedia, are generally thought to be elementary particles because they have no known components or substructure. They play an essential role in numerous physical phenomena, such as electricity. They also function as a bonding mechanism for atomic systems.

Translated to MODX: TVs, Configuration Settings, Context Settings and System Settings can be interpreted as electrons. These elements contain small bits of information that flow through the system (like electricity) to keep things in line with certain values. So in a way, they too bind things together.
