MODx 2.2.4-pl

ModX confuses a lot of beginners because it is very popular but the learning curve is steep. They wonder why it's so great if it takes so long to learn.

I'm glad I learned ModX, because it can be very helpful for certain types of work where Joomla or Wordpress suck. If you need lots of customization and won't be creating a heavy-duty blog, it's worth looking at.

If you need a CMS for smaller sites, you are probably doing yourself a disservice by not using a lightweight CMS. A big system like ModX will take much longer to customize, build, and maintain, especially if you like to customize the back end for your clients.

Register to download..... First step to make this bloatware commercial, IMO.

I have used modx revolution and I admit that it is very flexible and easy to implement with any type of custom design. However the base revolution is missing major base functionality like a "search" for instance. Most of the documentation is pretty horrible. Also, its not really for blogging. Seriously, if you want to blog do yourself a favor and use Wordpress. When it comes to blogging you can do "in a few minutes" what can take hours and days to do in ModX.

Not long ago, I was building static HTML/CSS sites with a little jQuery for adornment. I had zero experience using either PHP or MySQL. My clients began asking for CMS functionality so I searched for the most "designer friendly" one I could find. MODx was easy to learn, since my existing sites did not need to be rewritten to conform to some proprietary template format. Now I build everything in Revolution, and my clients are happy. All it needs is a well rounded shopping cart plugin to become really outstanding.

I'm using Wordpress and Joomla and recentlly I've started to learn Drupal (7 looks very promising). Although I've tryied MODx I have to say that I could not figure out how to build sites with this. Many ppl say this is good, it looks like is the most promising CMS of the future yet I could not work out the links behind it.
I think there are lots of good CMS out there and every brain has got its own CMS, it's a shame mine is could not understand MODx.

Excellent CMS.
With ModX you have a mix of freedom, velocity and pleasure.
A totally different CMS that does exactly what YOU tell him to do.
Not like the many CMS where you have to follow the way they thought it. With ModX you are the one that tells how things go.

You want a nice design? Or use one that you downloaded? With ModX you can do it.
You want speed? ModX allows you caching on every page.

You want to manage your file? ModX delivers more than that: you can manage and edit all the files on your server directly from the interface.

Image, Media, blog, everything: just do what YOU like.
You just can love it.

An elegant, fast and incredibly flexible CMS.
Everything a developer can dream of is there.

With ModX you have a new generation of CMS that makes website development a breeze.

Once you tried it you will never go back to another CMS. So take care!

With ModX you can run high traffic site, you join performance to utmost flexibility, and you have the designer paradise at your fingertip.

One weak point though, even if there are already many add-ons (modules) there still could be some more.
But the core is so rich that you don't really need so many new modules.

ModX is definitively one of the best CMS. Drupal, Joomla - just to name the most famous ones - can not compare with it.

ModX is 100% freedom, 100% flexibility, 100% performance.

ModX is born SEO, you have caching on all pages if needed, flexibility and extendability.

OK, ModX has a learning curve. For newbies it is a good thing to first follow a tutorial (there are many on the internet).
But the result, the pleasure to work with is worth the pain.

The Revolution Starts Now!

Modx Revolution has been released as stable. And I'm very excited. I've been actively working with ModX Evolution (1.x series) for about two years now and it's been the best experience of the all cm systems I've used. And these include Joomla, Mambo, Drupal and few commercial proprietary systems. All feel restrictive compared to ModX. And Revolution seems an upgrade.

I worked with Drupal, Joomla, and tested many other CMS.
No one was able to match ModX. This CMS is simply a new technology. A new generation of CMS id born.

I test ModX Revolution RC3 and wait impatiently for the stable version.

At least we know that we ModX a stable realese is... stable.
Not like other CMS (Drupal) that have to release a new update because of bug and security fixes. On top of having a lack of security, it is a real pain when you have to update all your customers sites.

It's nice to see all these great comments on ModX Evolution from professional developers.

Just wait until ModX Revolution comes out in a stable version.

ModX hopes to finish it on time so they can enter the next OS CMS Awards.

I bet they have a good change that ModX Revolution will blow every other CMS out of the water and set a new standard for open source CMS.

Best CMS ever! If you know something of programming you will be in love with this CMS/Framework it's really handy.

It makes you website development process be faster and larger.

Code less, gain more.

Manage multi-page menus using PHP include() just a couple of times and you'll want a CMS. Study what's out there in CMS land, how they're supported, how they're developing or stagnating, what they cost for both acquisition and support, how easily they can be extended and/or fused with other resources "out there" on the Web and the kind of work people are able to do with them. Unless your focus is large-scale-corporate subject to the Microsoft mandate, you'll prefer MODx.

Having said that, I have found bugs in the current release, but nothing that I couldn't work around. Documentation is thin, sometimes ambiguous and somewhat outdated, since MODx development continues apace. Indeed, MODx will shortly leave behind the Evolution code base in favor of the entirely new Revolution. Presently, the tough decision for a prospective MODx user is whether to go with Evo 1.0.3 and its known foibles now, then upgrade to Revo later, or to jump right into Revo and thus skip inevitable Evo -> Revo reworking of legacy sites. Actually, this is the sort of problem one likes to have!

Go ahead and jump. You know you want to.

Use MODx for 1 year, then try another CMS and think:
Why so difficult?
