    Has the question of how to construct a custom resource been brought up? If so I’m sorry I haven’t seen it yet.

    http://svn.modxcms.com/docs/display/revolution/Resource#Resource-DefaultResourceTypes

    I would really love to find out how to set up a custom resource. I’m trying to sort out a method for setting up an event calendar, and I don’t really want to do it all with template variables. This is the sort of thing that a CalendarEntry resource would make sense for.

      As one who is trying to absorb the product and its usage, a fully (as much as it can be) functional site with demo data etc. that we can review code and other settings would be the best. The individual parts, descriptions, instructions are good, but when one sees it actually running and then looks at the site under the covers, you can learn more I think that way.

      So for instance. I’ve implemented authorization / ACL on many types of systems and products. They are work slightly different. If there was a working site with public/member/levels of access built in with logins, registrations, redirects, logouts etc. we could take that and implement/extend it.
        Regards...

        One thing I know I would like to see is tutorials on how to create custom addons (snippets, plugins, modules) by way of creating an actual addon, not just disconnected code examples, but an actual step-by-step walkthrough with explanations and a fully functioning (no matter how simple) addon at the end. Learning by seeing and emulating is a great way to learn how to implement and use the MODx API. Not sure if that’s clear.

        So maybe I just need to finish this tutorial. tongue

        SplittingRed,

        Any idea when you might finish this walk through to developing a working plugin ?

        It would be very handy as modx has changed considerably from Evolutions - hacky way of creating modules smiley hopefully for the better though...

          modExt documentation (what did yoiu add to ext.js and how does it work) like ext docs itself, we will be creating more components and we like to stay close to the modx way of dooing this, but modExt docs ar very limited and tje js is compressed.

              Here you can read how i moved a site i developed locally to the webserver. I believe this way is pretty much too complicated.

              I would appreciate a tutorial how to move a local site in the most easy way to another server. Thank you smiley

                  Set Friendly URLs on a localhost for WampServer.
                  That’s what you want to see next?


                  • Left click on the WAMP icon (not rightclick)
                  • Go to Apache -> Apache Modules -> [click] rewrite_module
                  • Left click on the WAMP icon (do not rightclick)
                  • Click Restart All Services

                  Rename with notepad (not in Windows shell, that doesn’t work) the ht.access file in the root of MODx to .htaccess. This can be done on a FTP server or with almost any program. Once you’ve done this, if you’re running MODx from a subdir, say "http://local/modx", set (in your .htaccess file) the following from:
                  RewriteEngine On
                  RewriteBase /


                  to:

                  RewriteEngine On
                  RewriteBase /modx/


                  That’s about it. Of course, go to the System Settings from MODx itself and enable FURL settings (click the filter, click "Friendly URLs").

                  • There doesn’t appear to be any documentation about creating a custom (third party) provider. There’s some great information about custom packages and adding a custom provider, but besides scanning the source code, I can’t find anything about the various AJAX calls that are sent to the provider, and how the provider should respond.
