Future Roadmap
The 1.0 roadmap will include built in versioning capabilities for all content and I’m looking into ways that FTP, WebDAV or other protocol access could be setup for managing multi-cultural content (with revisioning and rollback) throughout MODx, be it PHP code, CSS, JS, XHTML, or whatever.

OG, is this still the roadmap plans for v1.0? I’m evaluating MODx for use with a large education system and version control, WebDAV, and LDAP are some of the major requirements (as in ’deal breaker’).

Could you point me to the best place to stay up on the future plans? I’ve read the roadmap info on the MODx site, but that type of information tends to get out-of-date.

Thanks!

The roadmap info is still accurate... and look for a few articles coming soon about the future of MODx.

Native content versioning is definitely going to be in 1.0, but direct FTP/WebDAV protocol access to that MODx managed content will likely take a bit more time to develop (though funding or direct code contributions can speed up such efforts ). External authentication providers, including an LDAP provider, will also be part of 1.0, though I think it could be accomplished now, with a snippet or plugin, and a little bit of ingenuity.

Fantastic guys. Anyone wanna guess my next question???

1.0 is slated for release... when? (Sorry, had to ask. Just trying to get a visual of where this is headed while we plan our conversion.)

Sometime in 2007.

"And the best wishes for 2008". Did he say whilst working with MODX version 0.9.6.1.

Content versioning ? We want we want !!!, im using 1.0.2, is it available there ?

TIP: if you are a VIM user (and so of course you use vimperator plugin for firefox (if not, what are you waiting to do a google search?)), just press "Ctrl + i" when you are inside a text editing, then your favourite editor is opened with this text, save in any moment and when you close the editor, the website is updated with your code =)

Even better, you can have a svn system setup with all your files of your modx, the dirs of assets and the snippets/chunks etc, just in your own way and independently of modx... when you are editing and using this TIP, you can also type :w /home/foo/yoursvn/thatfile.php and it will be saved a copy of your editing file there, then re-save in normal mode in the website with :wq , on that way you maintain an updated code in a svn and your desired editor (if vim) for editing in modx.

That’s the actual best solution that i have found

Thanatermesis: I know you posted the vim tip a long time ago, but god bless you! Using the modx manager interface for everything is tedious. Vimperator has made me a happy man. May the gods of technology smile upon you!
