Tutorial on creating a simple snippet

I’ve written a series of tutorials on creating a simple custom snippet for MODx Evolution. This is what I’ve covered so far. I will probably add more parts and maybe even do one on more complex snippets. Hope someone finds this helpful.

Part 0: Introduction
Part 1: Write and Test the PHP Script
Part 2: Create the Snippet
Part 3: MODx API, Placeholders, Chunks
Part 4 – Optimize with Caching

Just had a read through the "Create a snippet" one and I must say it’s very well written, bookmarked for future referance when I will actually get time to go through them properly

Cheers

Thanks paulp! I just added Part 4 to do with Caching.

I know, my host is having some issues with the server today. They’re working on it, so hopefully it will be back up in a few hours.
