This is more of a request for the MODx site, rather than MODx itself,
but I didn’t know where else to post it I should have
posted it here, sorry.
In the Downloads/Repository/Resources, the snippets/plugins/modules are listed for downloading. I understand this is reserved for released and fully developed products, but the problem I’m running into is there are a lot of references to items NOT listed in there.
For example, on one of the current wishlist items, Ryan referred to a tvExplorer module. So, I went searching for it in the Downloads/Repository/Resources. I couldn’t find it there, so I had to go back to the forums where, when searching, I’m faced with multiple topics I have to search through to find the actual information and download for this module.
So, what I’m requesting is there be another Downloads/Repository/Resources for betas and such where people can gether information or at least easily monitor development of upcoming snippets/plugins/modules. I think this would help newcomers to MODx who are trying to find out what extensions are available for MODx. There’s a ton of great, useful items that are developed and in wide use that never seem to make it to the downloads page. Just so we’re clear, I did
read the post here about where to find things, but newbies to MODx are very likely NOT to see that. Maybe a note linking to that could be put in the Repository near the top?
While we’re at it (this should probably be another topic) can we get some coherence going for what the Downloads/Repository/Resources, as well as other items in MODx, is actually called? While helping others learn MODx, I’ve had some trouble getting them to understand differences in documentation. For example, Folders in MODx are also referred to as Containers and that’s become confusing for people.
