Rethinking MODx

We buckled down and converted from Ext 1.1 to 2.0. That means there will be a slight delay for the public beta, but it’s the right thing to do honestly. In the interim, we also made some documentation for how 097 uses Ext: http://docs.modxcms.com/modext/

Woot
My understanding was, that wouldn’t make it, that’s a GREAT news Ryan ! It’s really huge...

(and great effort on the doc !)

Kudos Shaun

is there any way to export the 097 docs into PDF format. I’d like to have it on my phone so I can read up on it. This would help me personally to become familiar enough with the project to contribute in a deeper way. I’m not always at my computer but I do have time to read. Thanks Guys I’m really really excited about this, it looks absolutely stunning.

As a matter of fact, yes, though I had yet to try it and check the results until you asked. It’s very ugly and raw atm and very incomplete in the tutorial sections especially, but, it’s something...

We’ll work on improving it...

P.S. HTML documentation has been updated as well at http://docs.modxcms.com/

Word!.. I’ll be looking at it on a PDA so it doesn’t have to be terribly pretty. Thank you for looking into it, I appreciate it very much.

Hi guys,

i’ve been away for quite a long time... (so long that I had to create a new account to post this ;-)
In the meantime I found such a big bunch of new tech, from Adobe AIR to OpenLaszlo (great stuff, imho) that I just want to coin this:
Are the times of CMSes already over? Even before we’ve seen the long awaited MODx 1.0? Aren’t we in a new dimension of application development instead of somehow old-fashioned site-maintenance?

would like to read your comments...
silentio aka silent aka (forgot my first name)

can you elaborate on Adobe Air?

How can it replace modx

Thx

Uhm.

No.

There will always be websites that need content management. Adobe AIR was never meant to (nor can) replace that.

I liked OpenLazlo.

Is there a way to mix it with modx?

Thx

MODx could produce the data needed to drive OpenLazlo projects, just like it can produce the XML needed to drive flash UIs. It would not be a trivial process though.
