It seems MODx revo since 2.1 does not support MODx API?

It seems MODx revo since 2.1 does not support MODx API like

$result = $modx->db->query( ’SELECT * FROM `modx_site_content` LIMIT 0 , 30’ );

Is that true?

This seems to be a problem for many sites if they will run upgrade.

MODx team did not announce this major change...

Yes, the ’db’ object has gone, it was announced as part of the ’deprecated API’ notifications.

then it’s sad but true:( some sites built on Revo <2.1 won’t be upgraded unless quite a bit extra work....

anyway - hope MODx gets better and better and keeps growing:)

All Evolution-centric methods, including the DBAPI, were removed. You should be using xPDO from here on out, as all future development will be based on that codebase, which will allow us to move toward new functionality.

Thanks splittingred for the links:)

I dare saying that was announced the day 2.0.0-pl was released (or even before) and that developers have been urged to move as soon as possible since then. Saying that the "modx team did not announce such a major change" is quite a bold statement

Most of the addons in the repo have been updated by now, so if you have the latest versions installed there’ll be limited problems. Of course, if you did a lot of custom coding with the DBAPI you’ll have more work to do...

Yes, Mark - got the links and gone it through.

Yep, here we seem to be
