A thought (question) about the future parser

Yet another question for you Jason...

While reading the phpThumb modifier for PHx thread, a thought occured to me : since the future parser will (if I remember correctly) replace PHx in lots of areas, will it also accept the same kind of modifiers ?

It would be really cool

In 0.9.7, all MODx tags will accept modifiers and parse them as defined in the class modInputFilter. Each element will then have a chance to go through additional processing according to modOutputFilter, after normal processing completes. These filter classes can be set in global system configuration settings, and overridden by context-specific configuration settings, or even set programmatically for a specific element with MODx API code. Overriding the behavior will be as simple as extending one or both of the filter classes and implementing the methods you wish to alter.

Consider the following tag scenarios in 0.9.7:



I haven’t done any work with the conditional features of phX yet, but I will try and post some additional information on how/if the functionality of conditional modifiers will change with the new core.

Great, just what I have been dreaming of !

This will really extend the syntax to a new level
Thanks for yet another quick answer !

Late response but i finished the "default" filters a while ago and they are pretty much identical to PHx. Including the possibility to use a snippet as code for a custom modifier (without altering the filters directly). One small change is how these snippets should look to be used as a modifier.
