    Hi

    I am a newbie so please excuse.

    I develop websites and would like offer this CMS to my clients. I can see no point installing modx for each and every website I design and host.

    1.)Can it be installed say on a domain abc.com and all the clients can access it to manage their websites? ....bit like http://www.cushycms.com/ does.

    2.)Can it be used for existing websites?

    3.)Can it be used to isolate parts of the editable page as editable?

    Thanks

        With Revolution, yes.

        Not sure what you mean. There is a utility for importing WordPress documents.

        Yes, using TVs or Javascript and AJAX.

          Thanks for your reply.
          2.)Can it be used for existing websites?

          what I meant was I already have a site and do not want to create additional pages/sections/navigation using Modx. So the question is will I be able to bring my existing site pages and perhaps some how make editable sections by inserting modx DIV classes in my existing pages.

            MODx isn’t going to function like CushyCMS, Cushy works with files on your servers. MODx stores everything in the database so you would need to create a template of the site, then create pages with the content required.

            You may be able to code something to interact with sites somewhat like Cushy, but my suggestion would be use Cushy for existing sites until you are ready to convert them to MODx.

              Actually, you can emulate that behavior by creating a snippet to include the file, and having that snippet be the only thing in the template.

                  Well, Sotwell didn’t say that.

                  She said that you could a snippet to do that which is not complicated but require a little bit of php (since it’s a snippet...).
