    You can charge whatever you want and I hope you make a bundle. As well, creating a custom manager skin is entirely kosher, and that’s why we make it straightforward and easy to do. Good luck with your venture!

    You’re also free to run off and call it whatever you want, but please don’t ask for support on these forums if you so choose to do so. wink

    Interesting... So there’s no need to refer to any copyright notices even at the manager login screen? I don’t want to do this, though I have asked in a post of my own what kind of visual copyright was required.

      According to the GPL, you only have to leave notices in the source code. Some interpretations have been made that this includes any web page output (I think PHPNuke had an issue with this some time ago). I differ with that; in my opinion a web page generator’s output is no different than a GPL’d word processor’s output. You can’t require that all users of such a word processor have the copyright notices printed on every page you produce!

      Read the GPL three times, carefully. It’s not really a difficult document to read and comprehend.

        I’ve had clients a client come to me and ask specifically for ModX then turn around and ask me to remove all the references to modx and replace with "Company Name CMS." I’ve done so, but always left in the references in the page title "MODx CMS Manager" wink

          I usually do the same; clients tend to get confused and upset if they see "other" stuff in "their" site, even though it’s the back-end that their visitors don’t see. That’s why the login page and the initial "welcome" page templates were moved to the manager template folder, so it’s a lot easier to customize the logo and such.

            How did you resolve the previous problem?

            Ha! I didn’t -- I’m using full paths. I saw something about this in the snippit documentation, but I guess it’s really important to keep in mind.
