MODX: Context Settings

MODX: Context Settings

Context Settings are where one can specify certain website wide settings. Unfortunately, you cannot access the Context Settings because a bug in MODX causes other local and regional parties’ settings to be changed if a local or regional party editor edits the Context Settings. So you will need to raise a support ticket to make any changes.



Most settings will be set when your website is set up. However, you will need to add some and ask for others to be changed from time to time. The key ones are:
  1. The site imprint should contain your Election Agent’s name.
  2. The site imprint address should contain the local party address or the Election agent’s address.
  3. The ID of your local party Donate page; leave this as it is if you do not have a local party Donate page.
  4. Your local party Facebook page if you have one; leave this as it is if you do not have a local party Facebook page.
  5. The ID of your local party News page.
  6. The ID of your RSS feed page.
  7. The ID of your Home page (this must be the top page in the list of pages).
  8. Your local party Twitter page; leave this as it is if you do not have a local party Twitter page.
  9. Your local party YouTube page; leave this as it is if you do not have a local party YouTube page.
All MODX guides were written by volunteers, and haven't been updated in several years. If you spot any errors use the thumbs down icon below to leave feedback.
