How to create feedback for adding an element?

Question

MODX

There is a site with books. It is necessary that the user could add books himself. That is, there is a page with a form in which there are all the necessary columns, the user fills them out and clicks add a book. And how to make it so that after submitting this form would create a new unpublished page, so that the administrator could only check the correctness of the data and click publish and that's it?

Answer 1

I'm not sure if this is provided by ModX, so I suggest a PHP solution:
1) a form is created for user input
2) a handler script is created, to which user input is sent with a POST request
The handler script connects to the database used by ModX (_db), and using INSERT adds a row with the given pagetitle, content, parent, etc. parameters to the _site_content table. (whatever you want) and, of course, published = 0 (page not published).
3) How to accept changes? Or find a newly created page (resource) in the tree and click the "Publish" checkbox, or write a script to easily accept / reject new unpublished pages.
