I guess making this compatible with Evolution would be asking too much.if you’re desperate for an Evolution forum solution, i recommend looking at this new snippet (Vanilla-Forum Integration / also login with weblogin or webloginPE ): http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,45105.0.html
I’m not at all discouraging this project, but as much as I love MODx, I don’t want to lock everything down to it. I’ll still use WordPress for blogging, phpBB or SMF for forums, etc. I like the idea of making systems work together (even if not seamlessly) rather than having one central system that everything has to be based on. Know what I mean?
I would know what you mean if all those systems used MODx templating, or at least had web services to access functionality and content to pull into our own layouts in MODx. No offense, but templating in those systems is IMO primitive at best. A framework like MODx is meant to be a platform for bringing together common services with disparate dynamic views, and to make it possible for front-end designers to make changes to the markup/style of each view without having to touch the common services. Stand-alone applications with no SOA access make such integration and customization next to impossible, and never optimal.
