Template Garden?

Considering we now have so many great templates for MODx maybe we should set up some sort of official theme garden somewhat like Alex Kings WP Theme Viewer (link).

Please post your opinions in this thread and vote in the poll to the top.

Good idea...

Need a sample page, with a template switcher for it, and maybe a simple gallery snippet for the thumbnails, with download links for the zip packages. The links of the thumbnails would be to [~[*id*]~]&tpl=[*templatename*] which would come from the image name; the zip package would have the same name.

I’ve got something similar, although not so automated (yet), for my partner’s alan daniel site. (not all of the images link to the template switcher).

David Shea requests than any such templat switching showcases not use "zen" or "garden". He has no legal recourse but I respect the guy enough to honor his wishes.

Definitely fair enough. Any other naming ideas?

Template Gallery, Template Showcase

hmmm, we should definetly do mutual respect

MODx Template Gallery will be fine I think ... until someone come up with some other cool attractive name

That sounds good!

Just throw out some ideas:

Template repository
Template library
Template chooser
Template pick

Template Parlour

Template Ceilar
Template mill
Template treasure
Template island

Naming is fun!
