Bringing Evo back to life again

  I'll be otherwise occupied for a while; I just got myself an OpenIndiana (Solaris fork) semi-managed VPS, and am amusing myself making it do things. I installed the default available AMP stack and got Revo up and running on it, so I know it's usable.
  
  Now I'm busy downloading and compiling the latest ngnix, php, mysl, etc etc etc, fixing missing library dependencies, and all the other fun involved in administering a *NIX server. As soon as I get it all running the way I want, I'll put up an Evo installation we can all play in. This will primarily be for making up a new sample site, but will be kept updated to the latest version as well. It won't be a git repository, just a testbed for messing around in.

  Image MultiUpload

  I wrote a jQuery Ajax Image Upload thing as snippet for Evo three month before. Maybe this one (or parts of it) could be used for that. https://github.com/Jako/AjaxImageUpload
  
  Also i have written a new custom TV a few days before that replaces multiGridTV and that is somehow the same (minus the popup) as MIGX (could use all MODX Evo input types minus url and rich text). https://github.com/Jako/multiTV

  How does it work exactly? Is this for uploading from the Front End or for the Back End?

  This is amazing! Thank you!
  
  BTW, I have been wondering...there are many many snippets/plugins/modules which are OUTSIDE MODX Extras. Some are in the forum, some are scattered in the web.
  
  Maybe MODX Extras is not the best place to share snippets/plugins/modules because it is difficult to update them? Should we take the time to catalogate them in a separate forum thread or place in a website somewhere (and write some doc as well)?
  
  Another thing which I have noticed, some snippets on MODX Extras (expecially for Evolution) have a broken link, so they're lost (forever?).
  
  What happened to Ditto website? It was really useful.

  I had some problem with Evo extras. I can't change PHPIDS, the upload fails without an error message and I never got an answer about this. With MODX-htmlToPDF the problem is, that the package is to big. I just post updates messages in the forum.
  
  @Jako: Cool that I could influence you to have a look at this thread and to bring in your ideas

  Fantastic! This should absolutely be part of the MODX Evo core TV catalog.

  It is just a working proof of concept used on a website frontend that is not live now. A file input is transformed by jQuery into a multi upload area. The ajax part revises (i.e. thumbnail generation, filename scrambling) the uploaded files and stores the result in the session - the form handler could work with that after. I have written an not published eForm event for that and Bruno had done a not published FormIt hook.

  The main problem for me is to write a understandable documentation for my developments.

  Thank you to everyone who has been so passionate about bringing life back into Evolution development. We wanted to take some time to form a clear strategy, one meant to empower the community to move forward. We felt it was too important to just talk about here, so I have posted this for everyone to see and comment on at the MODX Blog...

  We look forward to your feedback on this strategy.

  @Jako, could you make an example of this situation?
  

  If the snippet output is assigned to placeholder and PHx is installed, the page should be set to uncached and the Snippet should be called uncached. Otherwise PHx will 'steal' the placeholders before the Snippet could fill them.

  That's easy enough, set Jot output to be placeholders. If PHx is installed it won't work. The PHx garbage collection will destroy all placeholder tags still existing at that point in parsing, not just its own. I've been suspecting a flaw in the regular expression used in its garbage collection function, but I'm not expert enough in regexp to be able to spot the problem.

  Ok I've got it, I remember that when I tried to use this code, it didn't work:
  
  

  [[jot? &placeholders=`1`]]
  [+jot.html.navigation+] - First. places the navigation on the page
  [+jot.html.comments+] - Second. places the comment of the page
  [+jot.html.moderate+] - Third. places moderated info on the page
  [+jot.html.form+] - Fourth. places the form on the page

  
  
  Thanks for the clarification. [ed. note: microcipcip last edited this post 14 years, 5 months ago.]
