- separate "final" release and "testing" release (we could only put the final release in the repository)
- indicate the Modx compatibilty (the modx version)
- a specific field to named contributors
- comment system
- description of each parameter
- example of use
I tested the repository but I do not see the old version of my chunk. Is this normal?
Ok. I didn’t see the link at the top to add a new version
To get a new version you need to click on the add new relaese link. If you click on the edit button it edits that version. I think thats what probably happend, if not let me know and I will see if there is an error.
I would like that when using the "bbcodes" to do the snippet/tv/ calls etc, that they would have some background or something automatically (like [ quote ] [ / quote ] has in these forums)
At first I couldn’t find out how to add "Previous Releases" and "Extras" to the snippet, but after some clicking, I noticed that I could go back one level at the breadcrumbs and the links were there. But they could be also visible when viewing a specific version of a item. Or some clear link on the version specific page to go back to the "sippet/item root", didn’t notice the breadcrumbs at all at first
Is the selected license info visible somewhere?
Couldn’t see it in the snippet details.. Would it be possible to have an optional text or input area to define your own license (maybe limited to certain chars and the ones who need longer licenses can attach them as separate files to snippet/module/etc zip). What I mean that I could for example define what type of Creative Common license the snippet uses. Just Attribution or Attribution Non-commercial or what.. And of course the license information should be visible only if something is set..
If you list all resources and find the extras "test | some mod" or "test | test mod", by clicking the item names, instead of going to the selected item details, it shows the list of extras that that extra "belongs to".. OK?
Will there be any (Willard) free text field in the search system? And possible ability to define to what field that free text points to.. so users could search snippets that has for example *bog* in description or snippets that start with drop* as title.. etc.
But superb work so far! I like it a lot, can’t wait to get it in use!
The link posted in auto created topic doesn’t match to the actual link:
Should be http://modxcms.com/ziTemplate00_457.html instead of http://modxcms.com/457.html in http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,5268.0.html

The tag cloud: http://modxcms.com/repository-tag-cloud.html does not look good in IE IE doe not realy like lineheight I think the tags are overlapping. (how big will the font be when a catagory tag has 100 hits?)
Thanks Ryan, this will be a good model to base it around.
@tag cloud -- I think there should be no more than 5 variations in size, with the line height matching or slightly exceeding the largest size. See http://del.icio.us/tag/
That would be good to have as an option, but I would still like to have a ’custom’ option in the select box and by selecting it, would be able to write something to a certain lenght input area. What I’d like to be able is to write the name of the licence and link to it. But if it’s too much work to do, ’included in file’ is atleast something.. Then users just have to find that file where it is.. But for good usability factor, I think the information should be visible at the repository items, so users can immediately see for example is the snippet available for commercial use.. etc. The easiest to implement would be one more option "Licence information at description" and then we could just write it there.. But when thinking about future developement, it would be good to have the licence name in use at its own field / section allways, so when building more extensive search system, users could search only for snippets that uses certain licences.
I have made a few updates to the repository today. The alias’ are now created with - instead of _ . and I fixed the updates required bug.

Would this meet your needs? If we add an option for something like ’included in file’ and then you could just add a file to your uploaded zip.
