  Hello, Susan
  
  > use the modx DBAPI instead of directly using PHP's mysql_whatever database functions.
  
  
  Is it like this?

  Not really; it's just a rough first draft. All I did was change the actual function calls to API function calls. Not reading Japanese kind of slows me down on following this kind of thing

  just want to say i really like Evo still using it for all my projects because of the speed and simplicity.
  
  jquery sounds much better as mootools.
  Evolution user, I like the back-end speed and simplicity

  I have just found a plugin similar to MIGX. It doesn't have all the features of MIGX, but it may be a good starting point for a multiTV addon for Evolution. See here -> MultigridTV

  There is an Uploadify multi file upload hack to the file manager, I use it on all my sites.

  
  Can you share the code, if it is not too much trouble? The possibility of having multiupload would be a great addition to MODX Evolution.

  several variations on a plugin
  
  -MultiFiles 1.11 (http://community.modx-cms.ru/blog/addons/1232.html)
  -MultiPhotos 1.22 (http://community.modx-cms.ru/blog/addons/1146.html)
  -TvTable 1.1 (http://community.modx-cms.ru/blog/addons/1170.html)

  This is a WONDERFUL thread. Great to see some Evo excitement and talk of future improvements.
  
  I am a css'er not a programmer so wouldn't be any good for technical input. However I could test usability from a non technical perspective if that is handy. I also like making sure things are intuitive and user friendly, if that is a skill.
  
  1. One thing I thought would always be handy is to have the option for dynamic template variables that provide the option to add another TV (eg image or pdf) after one is added.
  
  

  Eg Say you want to assign multiple pdf's or images to a resource but the number varies per each resource. One resource might only require 1 pdf, whilst another might require 10 pdf's. Rather than creating 10 TV's and assigning them to a template, it would be great to assign a dynamic TV to a template with an "add another / +1" option that appears as each pdf is assigned.

  
  I have seen this kind of thing on forms before but not sure if I have described it correctly. Is this what MIGx does?
  
  2. In built PHx if / else etc capabilities. PHx really adds to Evo.
  
  3. This is not exactly essential but the one thing I really like in Revo is having all the elements etc in the LHS tree. That is nice.
  
  Great work starting this thread Stefanie. You are a gem.
  
  Maybe we could call it stEvo? (or is that too Australian?)

  About the design, I have been playing with Evo css, see the attached screenshots and let me know what do you think. For the login I have used Revolution pics, but if we want to make it different to avoid confusion, it won't be a problem.
