MODX Generator 1.0.0 Beta 2 Released

Post by tumba25 »

The Modifications Team is proud to announce the the second Beta of the MODX Generator.

Description

The MODX Generator is a new tool we've been working on that will allow the automatic generation of MODX documents. It will take an original phpBB folder and compare it to a copy with applied modifications. The resulting diff is then converted to the MODX format. Copy, edit and inline actions are automatically generated.

The generated MODX file can be imported into the MODX Creator for editing and later installed automatically with AutoMOD.

Getting it

More information, a screencast and the dowload link can be found on the:

MODX Generator page

The source is as always available from the code forge under the GNU GPL version 2

Changelog
  • Changes since 1.0.0-b1
  • Improved the README file.
  • config.php is renamed to generator_config.php to avoid confusion with other config files.
  • Some more file names added to the default ignore list.
  • Ignore version is a parameter to the script, so it's removed from the config.
  • Parses meta tags from other generators and puts them in the generated MODX file.
  • Changed the generator meta tag.
  • There are now default settings in generator_config.php for the script parameters.
  • Contextual finds, except for in-line finds.
  • Renamed -f --outfile to -m --modxfile.
  • Added -r, --root = Creates a root directory containing the files missing in old.
  • Added -f, --force = Replaces the root directory if it exists.
  • Added exit values so calling apps knows if it was successful.
  • Removed the third parameter to check_missing(), $args are global here.
  • old and new are now main parameters to the app so -o and -n are not needed. old needs to be first.
    -o are still needed if there is a default setting that needs to be overridden.
