[Tutorial] How to install a MODX modification

[battye]

when there 2 file with the same name do you add both of them

Are the files in different directories?

[themarc]

Hi everyone,

I'm getting the idea of MODX and how this all works. I have installed mods in the past and it's thanks to support here that makes all the difference and why I continue to use phpbb. For many of us, you make some changes do an upgrade here and there, then come back months later to do something and go, "how did I do that again"?

A few very obvious questions to be prudent before adding a very involved mod for a photo galley by nickvergessen.

1. Can someone recommend a text editor for Mac that "they have used" with MODX successfully. I have researched many recommendations for Mac (textwragler, Smultron, Note Pad Deluxe etc.) but no one who has actually used one for a phpbb mod implementation.
Zero real-life, testimonials.

2. I'm using an intel Mac / Tiger OS X, it comes with TextEdit, will that work? Any things to be wary of?

3. Finally, once I've made changes in a text editor, I assume I will Save As changing to extension .php at the end of the file name and upload to the server. Correct?

Thank in advance as always, most appreciated.

Point 3. would be most helpful for now...

Ok, I feel kind of stupid...
But what's the point of MODX?
I'm used to the old fashioned installing of mods...
How is this different? I don't get it... You still have to edit, do sql, copy files, etc.?

It's a format that's easier to parse using a machine. It also allows multi-language meta data. MODX also contains a packaging specification.

Can someone please explain what is meant here by OPERATION.

<find><![CDATA[<td colspan="<!-- IF U_SORT_ACTIVE -->{:%1}<!-- ELSE -->]]></find>
<action type="operation"><![CDATA[{:%1} + 1]]></action>
</edit>
<edit>
<find><![CDATA[<td colspan="<!-- IF U_SORT_ACTIVE -->{:%1}<!-- ELSE -->{:%2}<!-- ENDIF -->"> </td>]]></find>
<action type="operation"><![CDATA[{:%2} + 1]]></action>

I dont have the <td colspan="<!-- IF U_SORT_ACTIVE -->{:%1}<!-- ELSE --> line
but i do have a <td colspan="<!-- IF U_SORT_ACTIVE -->5<!-- ELSE -->4<!-- ENDIF --> line.

what am i supposed to do** make a line like this:
<td colspan="<!-- IF U_SORT_ACTIVE -->{:%1} + 1<!-- ELSE -->

Hi everybody!

I need help because i am new to phpbb and just installed one mod, but ia have a problem!

I done everything as the instructions but at the end, ask me to do this

Browse to install/index.php and run the installer

Clear your cache in the "Administration Control Panel" (ACP) > "General" > "Purge the cache"

Refresh your Styles:
"Administration Control Panel" (ACP) > "Styles" > "Templates" > each > "refresh"

The problem is that in my ACP there is no choise "Purge the cache" so, i can't accses my board!

Are you set as a board founder? Only board founders can purge the cache

[momentum]

And you can manually clear the board cache with FTP. Using your client navigate your way to the /cache directory and delete everything except the .htaccess and index.htm files. Those two files are there for security reasons.

hi,

i think this list may be of use to you :http://www.startrekguide.com/community/ ... 39&t=10297

i use textwrangler for simple php edits, but Zend eclipse for coding work.
for ftp uploading to the server, i use Cyberduck. it's simple and good.

Does this apply only to the prosilver style only?

Does this apply only to the prosilver style only?

Does what apply only to the prosilver style? MODX is the install file. Install files for styles should use the MODX format.

[mrmax79]

I have had ModX installed for a couple of months, but frankly I am confused.
First which mods are compatible with MODX? I have installed several mods manually no problem, but could I have saved steps by using ModX?

How do I identify which mod is compatible with ModX?

And then how do I use ModX to install that mod?
