WOW!

Thanks a million for the tip! It seem it’s never just a wast of time browsing through MODx forums.

I enthusiastically second that. Good tip, huge. Perfect with textmate, thank you mucho mucho!

I said earlier that this "works fine". After now starting to work on 4 simultaneous MODx projects it kicks ass. I use this all the time. This is better than Firebug or almost as useful as the Web Developer Toolbar.

Thanks again.

Afeter using it with BBedit to update snippet code I have one complain:

I open the textarea content into BBedit modify and ctrl-save -> the textarea gets updated, then I have to click the manager’s save button (with the ’save and continue editing’ checkbox selected) after this, if this the copy of the document that remains open in BBedit looses its connection with the form and I have to close it and open a new one by re-selectiong the ’it’s all Text’ edit button again...

before this I used to keep snippets in a php file, directly editable with BBedit FTp capabilities, and correlate it with the manager by just entering in the snippet code textarea:

return include ’/your_modx_path/assets/snippets/Test2/snippet.Test2.php’;

Regarding my previous comment: the disalignement between the local copy in BBedit and the Manager’s Textarea happens only with the ’save and continue editing’ heckbox selected.

One note I forgot to mention for TextMate users in case you are having trouble with the ’Its All Text’ extension. You may have to manually change your path in preferences, depending on your textmate startup engine settings.

I noticed this. I had to enter a full path to the binary (/Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/MacOS/TextMate) to get it to work. Now that it does, it truly kicks ass!

edit:
Incidentally, does anyone know about a bundle for TextMate that handles the special markup for MODx (like snippet tags etc). If not, I might look into it myself.

Totally nice....

2 thumbs up!

bundle would be awesome, maybe best to wait until new build of modx is released since a lot of the system specific tags are changing.. Please post or msg me if you plan furthering this though..

When using this to edit a template variable in Modx, I have often found that the template variable has not been saved.

This is with Firefox 2.0.0.6 on Mandriva Linux with Its All Text 0.7.3, and Kwrite as the text editor.

deprecated?
