Best Practices for Staging before Going Live

I have a large site that we are getting ready to re-work. The current site does not have a content management system. We are most likely going to use MODx. However, a question has come up that I don’t know the answer to and could use some help with.

Currently, when we create something new in house we post it on our "stage" server/site for everyone to review and then publish it live after it is revised. We use SVN with two sites, basically. Is there a "best way" to do this with MODx? Does anyone have any experience with this to help streamline the process?

Thanks in advance for the help.

There’s the Revisioner Provisioner addon which does pretty much that, I think.

But I’ve not used it myself.

I generally just make it locally or in a subdir or domain, and then move it all over to the main dir/server.

Thanks, Mark. I can’t find the resource and search doesn’t help. Do you have a link?

Sorry, it’s called Provisioner.

Has anyone used this with multiple users? Is there any sort of conflict resolution?
