Why I shifted focus from Drupal to MODx

Quote from: greg.harvey at Aug 31, 2009, 05:33 AM

Anyway, decided guys! I have a new company starting next month. It’s an open source software consultancy. I’m going to try and build it’s website in MODx instead of Drupal. Perfect opportunity for a test drive. =)

Great to hear Greg. Feel free to ask questions in our forums about any problems/thoughts/suggestions you might have. We’re here to help.

Coming back here make me strongly feel how i miss Modx. I love you Modx. I love you guys. Mery christmas. God save the queen.

After struggling with Drupal, MODx is a god send!
Where were you people hiding?
I have been in search for such a CMS for some time now!
It is perfect. It is intuitive. It is flexible.

Thanks! Thanks! Thanks.

Warm welcome to MODx!

Thanks, Kongondo and Zi.

Kongondo: I think, I just tried out the MODx option in SimpleScripts.

OK, thx for the info. As to your other questions:

Have a look at Ditto, eForm (snippets); manager manager and phx (plugins); Don’t want to hijack this thread so if you have specific questions please start a new thread

cheers/k

That’s a really nice piece by Mark. He’s had a crappy time over the last week. He saw the nasty side of the Drupal "inner circle" and it wasn’t pretty. You should try and get him interested in MODx. He has a lot of talent and a great design company!

That’s really too bad. Both the drupal.org redesign which is apparently never going to get launched, and some of the UX design stuff he has done for drupal7 is really amazing...the fact that Mark is getting beat up sort of says it all...

Well the conference seems to have done a lot to smooth ruffled feathers. Mark did two talks on design, both of which (I’m told) were excellent and when I spoke to him he seemed in good spirits. As for the Drupal Association trying to get their website done for free, pfft. They have shit-loads of money and it’s a massive job. They’re taking the piss. Fortunately, there are a few people on the "board" who think the same, so maybe they’ll pull their heads out of their arses and find the money...

Anyway, this is the MODx forum! </drupaltalk>

I am curious how you managed to talk with Mark at DrupalCon , he was litteraly unreachable with 30 people or so jumping him right after his talk, he arrived just a few seconds before starting... I didn’t see him outside of his talks which I both attended (and they were great ! If you want the slides, check http://www.slideshare.net/markboultondesign/designing-grid-systems-doesnt-begin-and-end-with-960 and http://www.slideshare.net/markboultondesign/web-typography-fundamentals -> btw there is nothing Drupal in there, its pure webdesign).
