    I am wondering how to change the sample site that we have the option to install when first installing modx.

    It may help if i tell you what i am trying to accomplish.

    I have about 60 sites to roll out that are all going to be generally the same in content and will all use the same template.

    What i want to do is change the sample site install to my own customized content so that I can copy the install files to the 60 sites web directories..and install them 1 by 1...then make changes to the content as per my clients work order spec.

    Any help or assistance would be great.

      I wonder if BkupMODx would work here.

      It might be possible to configure it to restore to a different site. Then you could just create your "template" site, back it up and "restore" it to all the other sites.

      If that doesn’t work, some web hosts have a backup/restore function somewhere in the control panel. It usually does an SQL dump and transfers all files. It might be possible to restore to another site.
