A bit of MODx CMS criticism
Today I am going to talk about MODx CMS again. Now, the first post on this topic covered my first impressions of this product. And now I have something else to say.
This time I am going to go a bit deeper into minuses of MODx. Why? Well, all the pluses are available on the official website and I do not see the reason for repeating those. This post does not in anyway mean that MODx is a bad product! It just has some bad sides that I would find very useful to read about before starting to build a website based on this system. This post is healthy citicism and maybe a precaution for those wondering what can't you do with MODx.
MODx CMS overview
Some MODx related post discussing MODx cons is also here.
0. Intro
Today I am going to say something about MODx CMS.
At the moment I have used it to make one website as well as I am using it right now to make another. This is mainly the suggestion of the client, so I am using it not because I like it so very much, but just because of circumstances.
So far my experience with it is, actually, quite pleasant. MODx CMS has a lot of fine features. At the moment I can tell that it at least has the minimal things that are required to make a website. So far I have understood, that most of the MODx functionality relies on the following things: templates, template variables (TV), chunks and snippets. All the other things are quite auxiliary.
So, let us take a look and see what those are.
New blog theme
Today I decided to remove pretty much everything from the site except for the blog. Also, I chose a new theme for the blog. I hope you like it ![]()
Just to announce - I will be filling About and Portfolio pages soon enough. Maybe in a week or two when I have free time. This is because I have quite a lot of work to do lately. But bare with me - I am going to make it up in future.
Hello world!
Welcome to my blog.
I finally made the theme for WP and installed it. Obviously, WP is my choise in blogs
Anyway, soon I will start posting some useless crap. As for now you can still read my old blog, which is jefim.wordpress.com.
