    Hello,

    i’m totally new to MODx...so please don’t slap me if this question will be stupid grin.
    Is it possible to use Backbase with MODx.

    I’m not into javascript programming and it is quite hard for me to do something usefull with libraries provided with MODx, so i thought maybe i should try with a Backbase, wich is quite easier for my needs.

    If it is possible, can someone describe in a few shor steps how to do it?

    Thx a lot
    • Perhaps a link to backbase might come in handy? wink

      I’ve heard of it, but there’s so much flying around these days it’s hard to keep it all straight!

        Hello! smiley

        Bacbase link
        Look at the Explorer...maybe there is a best place to look at how it works.

        I somehow managed to get it work with MODx, i only have a problem because of a quick-edit module ( which doesn’t have a valid XML syntax, so i am allways getting errors by bacbase ).

        Is it possible to completely disable this module?
        I disabled it, but it still loads itself.

        Thx for helping me out.
        • If you’ve disabled the QuickEdit plugin (not the module), it may be that you need to refresh your site cache.

            Yes, there are two parts to QuickEdit a module which is responsible for the actual editor, and the plugin which is responsible for rendering the toolbar and tags in the page. You’ll have to disable the plugin if you want the toolbar and links to go away.

            I’m working on a new version of QuickEdit now which will be packaged with the next release. I will try to go through it and make sure everything validates as XHTML.

              Thanx a lot....it works now.
              I still have problems with bacbase working correctly, but it seems it is possible to implement it ( with some hard work ).

              XHTML validated quickedit would be great.

                I’m still wondering how do you integrate backbase?

                Ehmm hold one, are you talking about using ajax with backbase framework, or are you using basecamp? I guess I’m officially confuse now.

                  Sorry i wasn’t specific.
                  Yes, i am trying to use Backbase framework, but i have many problems.
                  The code itself works just fine...but when i am copy/pasting a code from my notepad to MODx page creation ( source view ) it rearanges the TAGs...don’t know why, but it is very frustrating.

                  For example:

                  The code i pasted to SOURCE view is:

                  <b:deck id="spideck" class="b-deck">
                     <div>This is a deck, a widget used to create multi-paged documents.</div>
                     <div>The only visible page within the deck is the currently selected one.</div>
                     <div> 
                         The pages of a deck can be navigated, either by individually selecting them or by using the 
                        <code>next</code> and
                        <code>previous</code> actions. 
                     </div>
                  </b:deck>
                  <b:button b:action="previous" b:target="id('spideck')">Previous</b:button> 
                  <b:button b:action="next" b:target="id('spideck')">Next</b:button>
                  


                  but MODx rearanges it to:

                  <b:deck id="spideck" class="b-deck"> </b:deck>
                     <div>This is a deck, a widget used to create multi-paged documents.</div>
                     <div>The only visible page within the deck is the currently selected one.</div>
                     <div> 
                         The pages of a deck can be navigated, either by individually selecting them or by using the 
                        <code>next</code> and
                        <code>previous</code> actions. 
                     </div>
                  <b:button b:action="previous" b:target="id('spideck')">Previous</b:button> 
                  <b:button b:action="next" b:target="id('spideck')">Next</b:button>
                  


                  and it doesn’t work of course...

                  Any help would be great.
                  As i told you, i am completelly new to MODx, so....you know grin
                  • That’s not MODx; you will need to turn off RTE altogether, at least for that document. The FCKEditor isn’t happy with your tags.
