MODx Revolution Tips

by Seth on August 9, 2010

The Revolution is here.

I installed many sites very easily with the ModX Evolution package and when I jumped into Revolution, I was salivating like a dog next to a steak. I am now moving through the 2.0 release, re-educating myself on some of the new coding and am going to keep my notes here. I definitely don’t know everything about modX so be sure to be active in these resources:

Things to rember:

Modx Revolution Chunks

Evoution => {{ChunkName}}  ::  Revolution => [[$ChunkName]]

ModX Revolution Weblinks

Evoution => [~1~]  ::  Revolution => [[~1]]

ModX Revolution Content Syntax

Evoution => [*#content*]  ::  Revolution => [[*content]]
Here is a great reference from the ModX site
Content Elements Evolution (Old) Revolution (New)
Templates no tag representation no tag representation
Template Variables [*templatevar*] [[*templatevar]]
Chunks {{chunk }}
[[$chunk]]
Snippets [[snippet]] [[snippet]]
Plugins no tag representation no tag representation
Modules no tag representation does not exist in Revolution
Content Tags
Placeholders [+placeholder+]
[[+placeholder]]
Links [~link~] [[~link]]
System Settings [(system_setting)] [[++system_setting]]
Language no tag representation [[%language_string_key]]
