Is there any chance that Aloha will be packaged separately? It would be a nice addition for NewsPublisher and I’d love to get away from TinyMCE at some point.
As it happens BobRay I do have a separate package just for Aloha, it just install Aloha in assets under its own namespace/category as usual, there’s no chunks/snippets or other customisation to go with it, just what the Aloha guys provide. I created this for a project I’m working on. I can put this is extra’s if you think there’s a need or I can drop you a copy.
Use MODx, or the cat gets it!

I suspect that a lot of people would like to try it as an extra.
sorry for posting this much, but I can now add my first impressions regarding the Aloha-implementation:
0: aloha works! thank you!
1: be careful when editing your login-pages! I accidentally changed my frontend-login page (from the Login-extra) so that the code resulting from the [[!Login]]-call got saved by Aloha. Thus I was stuck with the "Logout"-link, even after logout. I hat to change the page’s code back to "[[!Login]]" via the backend.
2: the change date ([[*editedon]]) didn’t get updated when I edited with aloha.
3: while aloha has table-editing functions, they’ll only be available for tables created with aloha. they seem not to be available for already existing tables. (maybe they also need some special markup I’m not aware of.
4: the frontpage-toolbar on top seems to stay even when I set activeAloha to "true". (I presumed when I use aloha, the toolbar doesn’t show up at all. on the other hand, maybe it’s intentional to have access to the "create"-button)
5: please clarify in the documentation if jQuery needs to be enabled when using aloha.
me again: frontpage 1.4 beta seems to be available in the modx.com extras section, but is not automatically as available update in the modx manager.
shamblett, is it a frontpage or a gallery (or some completely other) problem that I receive this error?
Error: $(".gal-item img").asynchImageLoader is not a function
when visiting a page of mine using the gallery addon, no matter whether frontpage's jQueryNoConflict is set to true or false.
on another topic, regarding my point #1 from two posts above: I used a TV and "if" combination to only include the aloha-markup for pages I want to be editable via aloha. So my login & gallery pages get spared (useful for any page using forms).
Its a gallery error, note the 'gal' prefix, frontpage doesn't load images.
Use MODx, or the cat gets it!
Very nice snippet, had some problems at start, but all okay now. Would be great to have TV support at one point
