I have run the installation twice to see what happens to the database. I used the german language interface, but it says all data will be deleted during installation, but this is wrong. The tables of modx will only be inserted into the database.
Hadn’t i the option to add an database and to test it, i wouldn’t tried modx for my personal page (already using modx for the page of a club).
Therefore i suggest to edit the installation guide that a new install will NOT delete the whole database.
BTW: the integration of SMF will not work with two different databases. the club page works fine, modx 0.9.5 and smf 1.1.4, but mine with two db’s doesn’t: modx 0.9.6 and smf 1.1.4. API calls of the bridge causes errors on admin login.
Have a nice day!
