how do i? -- 1 Install (1 db), multiple Domains

Sure (see the MODx documentation for more info).

so it sounds like i should be able to add a hack such that based on $_SERVER["HOST_NAME"] i could display only content nodes belonging to a particular document group...

...and you should also be able to forward to the correct "home" page based on the domain name. Keep in mind that your site will only have one real home, error, and unauthorized page (that is, one each), so you should create those with snippets to forward to their respective subpages based on the domain name. And make sure that you get the latest version of AjaxSearch from the Repository, since I believe it’s the first to incorporate web group permissions into its results.

alternatives to forwarding?
an htaccess at the web root with a parameter being passed for each domain name?

Sure that would work.

Not currently, but multi-domain support with a single database (or even separate databases per domain), from a single core installation, will be possible in MODx 0.9.7 using the new Context features that are being developed and tested as we speak.

0.9.7 ? how long away is that could be another 5 years he he Modx should be coming out with a new release every six months (<- wishful thinking)

Actually, I think it’s been less than that between releases over the last couple years or so...

MODx is just over 2 years old. We’ve had over 10 releases so far. Probably 5 major releases really (original, 091, 092, 095 and soon 096). (Is your wish granted?)

Well, when you put it that way wow 2 years 10 releases can’t be a bad thing, is there anything modx users can do to speed up releases ? not that ->’im greedy for more <-

If you can program, php or javascript, check out the open bug reports and feature requests (see "Bugs & Support" link at the top of this page) and see if you can fix any of them!

If you or any friends or relatives can make up translated language files, that also would help.

Set up a development environment, and install and test the latest from SVN, reporting any problems you run into. Even better, if you can, fix it then report the problem with the fix.
