Nimja.com - the beauty of MODx

Well, I could make a whole nice story about how I write all kinds of stories, poetry, music and make tons of other stuff. But in this case, it’s more important how it’s made.

I’ve submitted tons of my little snippets on this forum as well, and, as I’ve just did a complete redesign, I think people might like to see this.

Anyway, to make it easy: Nimja.com

Visit and comment

Site down for a moment, bear with me. GROWL!

Yeah, I looked at some of the other sites here and noticed that MODx had been updated...

So I took 10 minutes to update my site. It was back within 15. A clean update, no issues at all.

*ashamed* I should have waited with my post.

Nice site.

Thanks for sharing, especially the upgrade experience.

Thanks and my pleasure. I try to make a design that doesn’t look like any CMS, also to show off that MODx is one of the few CMS’s that allows TONS of freedom in design and implementation.

And the only reason it took that long is because the upgrade was ’full’. Like a manual reinstall rather than copying over all the new files.

Very smooth

A small detail: I’m also maintaining DataGenicGroup.com which is also based on MODx.

The upgrade there went smooth as well. From 9.6 to 1.0.1 was without any issues when done clean. (meaning you remove the old files, copy over the new, then copy over only the new snippets/plugins that aren’t already there.)

Another update to Nimja.com. I should have done this so long ago. The homepage now has ’latest updates’ with the parent. (using a neat trick).

My compliments to the dev team. Adding user-support for comments has never been easier and now people can register and comment with their own user account.

*applauds*

Just wanted to give my compliments and best wishes for everyone in the new year! (and don’t forget to look at my useful snippets )
