Hey Adam,

What do you use for the calendar ? https://www.bryan.edu/college_calendar.html


Thanks,

Aleks

Must have taken you a boatload of time to make all the pages

Very impressed

I don’t honestly remember. We were using it before I came. It’s basically a hacked version of a commercial calendar program. Actually we are not too happy with it and are currently looking for a replacement.

Yea, a lot of scripting to do the import from the old static site. But once we moved to Etomite and then MODx it’s been simple.

Just curious - What made you move to MODx from Etomite? Etomite is one of two other CMS’s I’m considering for a client site.

I can’t answer for Adam here, but I can offer this quick overview of MODx that includes a brief history; it might explain a little more why all of us are here, rather than still at Etomite.

wow, modxcms is just great!

This is a must for Modx’ers. Thank you for the pointer.

Sorry for the very late response. I haven’t had as much time as I’d like for MODx recently.

There are a lot of reasons we decided to move from Etomite to MODx. Here are a few of the "bigger" reasons.

1. The extensibilty of MODx was probalby the biggest reason. Our version of Etomite was so very hacked up it wasn’t even funny. Etomite it a nice CMS for a simple site, but once you get as big and complex as our site is you need to look for other options. MODx lets us costomize whatever we need to through plugins and modules.

2. MODx has an active community with many developers and is open to the leading of the community. From my experience Etomite seems to be much more tightly controlled by a much smaller group of people.

3. The features of MODx were very enticing too. I’ve already mentioned plugins and modules but TVs, web users, customizable RTEs and other MODx features made a huge difference (TVs especially).

I could go on and on but I’d better stop while I still can

If you’ve ever wondered whether MODx will handle a big site, well it does a great job with 2,168 pages.

Errmm, doesn’t work with firefox 1.5.0.4 on my mac, the home page graphics do not appear. Works fine with opera and safari. Maybe my configuration is odd but I doubt it.
