    I'm starting development of an addon I'm codenaming 'Humans' that adds a Custom Manager Page to manage humans you'd like to credit in your humans.txt file.

    The idea is to target Revolution 2.3 and make use of the new simpler way to create CMPs. Some features I'm aiming for are:

    • Creates and writes humans.txt file based on created and imported humans
    • CMP page to manage all credited humans individually
    • Import human from MODX User (auto sets applicable properties)
    • Import humans from MODX User Group (auto sets applicable properties)
    • Add a 'Credit User' checkbox to the create new user MODX page that automatically adds that user as a 'credited user'
    • Potentially some features to display users / humans on the front end (but Peoples already does this)
    • Potentially some interesting import features, such as vcard format

    It's not far along yet to put on GitHub, but I'd like anyone interesting to be able to contribute soon.

      Fascinating laugh

      Look forward to seeing what you come up with smiley

      (And 2.3/2.2 CMP dev is not that much different, you just skip two steps or so.. perhaps in terms of users adopting the tool, it would be good to start with 2.2 compatible?)

        2.2 vs 2.3 support was one of the questions I had. I'll try and target 2.2 then!
