Where To Post Threads - Please Read

Threads about Modules, Plugins, Snippets.. and Classes or any add-on for MODx:

If you are writing or changing an add-on:
Module, Plugin & Snippet Creation and Modification

If you have an idea for an add-on, but you are not going to write it yourself:
Wishlist

If you have a beta version of an add-on that needs testing and feedback from both a usage and a programming point of view, and/or assistance with documentation:
Module, Plugin & Snippets In Development

If you have an add-on that is ready for the world:
Add it to the Repository

If you are looking for an add-on:
There are a few places to look. Here they are in order of priority. Stop when you find what you want.
Look in Repository first.
Then read the List of resources not in Repository post.
Then try the old Module, Plugin & Snippet Usage forum.
Then try Module, Plugin & Snippets In Development bearing in mind that these are pre-release add-ons.
If all these fail, consider writing it yourself (see above) or asking others to code up your idea (see above).

If you have an issue with an add-on
First, check to see if there is a new version of the add-on in the Repository, and if that resolves your issue.
Also, re-read the instructions there as there may have been an update to the text since you installed the add-on.

If this doesn’t help, it is worth looking at the new MODx Wiki category pages for Snippets, Plugins or Modules as appropriate. There’s not much on the Wiki yet, but what is there is usually clear and easy to read, which is why it is worth checking first.

If the Wiki fails you, find the correct support area.
There are dedicated forums for Ditto/Newslisting, DropMenu and MaxiGallery.
And now also for eForm, Jot and Wayfinder.
Every other add-on in the Repository has a thread in Repository Items Support.
There is a link to the thread in the Repo listing.

Add-ons that are not yet in the Repository have threads in Module, Plugin & Snippet Usage or Module, Plugin & Snippets In Development as appropriate.
You should read the whole thread or review the forum as appropriate to see if your issue has been addressed already.

Paul,

I just followed the link to this thread of your sig and it is a perfect post.

<suggestion class="unsolicited>
I would suggest adding at least part of this or link to this from the repository index. I think that it would be invaluable for people who are still getting their feet wet in with addons. You could basically insert all but item one into the repository home as instructions and guidlines for addons.
</suggestion>

It is by far one of the best pieces of information I have come across so far on this forum!

Glad you liked it. I don’t have any personal power over the Repo index page, but I’ll see what can be done.

Thanks for reminding me about this post, I’ve now added the new eForm, Jot and Wayfinder forum links, introduced the Wiki and made some other tweaks in light of recent discussions.

Thanks for this Paul!

Indeed a very useful document, however I feel a bit ashamed that you’ve probably posted it after reading my undoubtedly stupid question...

Some links are still pointing the the old forum.
