ps: I know that MODx is not a Portal/Community cms, but MODx DO IT BETTER!!!

I had moved 5 Portal/community sites from Nuke/Mambo/Xopps to MODx and works fine!!

Nice one, but I found a few quirks on the template though

The most bottom center content that can be minimized, when you minimized it, it’s gone forever, you can maximize it anymore. Same thing with the bottom left and bottom right column.

The top center column, when you minimize it, it is only fade the heading, and the bottom center content will move upward. Is that how you want it to be?

FY, I’m using Firefox 1.5 under Windows XP Pro.

All the best.

Tested only with 2 PCs (intel and amd) with Firefox and Opera works fine, minimize and maximize, in IE only one pc (intel) sometimes crash

with low resolutions ( 1024x766) had some problem of graphic refresh, when scrolling page.

Lol, that’s one big problem that you need to resolve. All the best Banzai, Gam ba te yoo.. (Trying to sounds like japanese )

Guys, be cool : we’re getting there, step by step !

Banzai has the merits to start building AJAX powered templates for MODx : that’s cool and I’ll join in very soon (once I find some time to read that script.aculo.us doc)

Thanks David.
Portalx 2 it’s only to test scriptaculo, but i hope to create something more original (this effect seems too much similiar to xoops -xoopport interface ) and cool effects for MODx templates (wnek I find some time to read docs too )


@wendy I’m not japanese, i’m Italian - sorry for my stupid nickname

This zip file contains a temporanery fix (waiting 0.9.2) for IE crach on SlideDown scriptaculous effects, then in Portalx2 and other future scritaculous templates.

Thanks Ryan for tip

here is one problem i meet so far:
i have downloaded this template from your site, and followed your installation instruction to complete the installation. however the homepage i loaded did not display the banner image. by reading the source code of the template and the example page on your web, i found something different
the tvs called on your template are named bannerplace and banner468place
the tvs called on your example page are named tvtvbannerplace and tvtvbanner468place

would you pls tell me how i can get the two tvs fixed? or which one is correct? thanks!

1)create a template variable called "bannerplace"

name: bannerplace
input type: DropDown List Menu
input: @CHUNK BannerList
default: {{bannerMODx300}}
widget: HTML generic tag - DIV


2)create a second template variable called "banner468place"

name: banner468place
input type: DropDown List Menu
input: @CHUNK BannerList
default: {{bannerMODx}}
widget: HTML generic tag - DIV


there is no tvtvsometing....

Have you enabled your template with these banner template variable?
