Developing a social network on MODx Revolution

MODx is developing at a rapid pace, and I decided to try to make a social network on this wonderful engine. After all, it has long been possible to work with users (registration, authorization, etc.), the built-in mechanism of user messages , he knows how to work with images and much more.

To begin, let's deal with users, give them the opportunity to write articles, for example, or add their own events.

User registration

For registration, we will use the Login snippet.
')

[[!Register? &postHooks=`addUser` &usergroups=`Users` &submittedResourceId=`9` &activationResourceId=`11` &activationEmailSubject=`   ` &validate=`email:email:required`]] 

Much has already been written about the snippet, I’ll show what our addUser hook does :





After the user has confirmed his e-mail, we send it to the edit information page about yourself:

 [[!FormIt? &hooks=`editUserPage` &successMessage=` `]] [[$editPage]] 

Respectively, the editUserPage snippet

Create articles or user events

Let our users can add upcoming and past events to their page:

 [[!FormIt? &hooks=`addEvent` &successMessage=` ` &submitVar=`addEvent`]] [[$addEventForm]] 

Eventually

On our site, users can register, post information about themselves, create events or write articles.

What do I plan to do with it

Next, I plan to make it possible for users to upload photos, add functionality for sending and reading private messages, as Goobs wrote about this, as well as the ability of users to register for favorite events.
