I am very interested in using PHx, seems like it can be a great help. However I have read in the past that it may not always play well with others (or actually other don’t play well with phx). In particular I remember eForms and PHx having some issues but I also remember seeing a few fixes for this.
My questions are; 1) besides eForm are there any other main snippets that do not play well? 2) will snippets that use eForm also have issues? For example FDM uses eForm to process its forms. 3) Any other concerns I may need to consider regarding PHx?
It seems that PHx should be part of the core snippets for ModX since it offers a great amount of freedom.
Thanks.
It is included in the core distribution (along with Jot), the modifiers/features are built-in to the 0.9.7 core, for any element, not just placeholders, and whatever conflicts there are have to do with components that circumvent the standard MODx parsing process. Since PHx also does this, it’s obvious why there are sometimes conflicts. The good news is, the more consistent parsing algorithm in 0.9.7 should relieve a lot of these conflicts.
Jot includes the PHx parser, so you don’t need to install it for Jot, but you may need to install it for other resources (no sure on this point).
