The basic element of MODx: Resources
Resources are the basic building blocks in MODx. They are the elements that make up the content of the site. Every web page in MODx corresponds to a Resource page. In early versions of MODx, Resources were called Documents. Thinking of them as documents may make it easier for you to understand. Every resource has a unique ID. This ID can be passed along in the URL, and MODx will display the page for the resource with the same ID. In the simplest case, a resource contains plain text.
As can be seen from the previous screenshot, the ID referred to here is 2, and the content displayed on the screen is from resource ID 9. It is also possible to refer to a resource by an alias name instead of an ID. An alias is a friendly name that can be used instead of having to use numbers. Aliases will be explained in more detail later in the book.
Containers
Resources can be contained within other resources called containers. Containers in MODx are like folders in filesystems...
