Wayfinder – Free ebook
Wayfinder is the most common and widely used snippet in MODx. Wayfinder snippet is mainly used to construct navigation of your site; it can also be used wherever you need a structured list reflecting the document tree hierarchy.
Since I have started working with MODx, the first snippet I wrote was the Wayfinder snippet. I was very impressed how quickly and easily it creates the navigation and the documentation was clear. After some research I found this free ebook called “Wayfinder – the almost complete guide to constructing menus in MODx” and now I would like to share this with all MODx developers/beginners.
ICSA Intranet
The new Intranet for ICSA was developed using MODx and PHP. It replaces the old one page Intranet with more dynamic allowing employees to personalise their home page with useful widgets, such as Staff news, Phone List and useful web-links.
The redevelopment of the Intranet was so that it looks more like the actual company’s website.
MODx elements
As we know that MODx cms is growing to become a popular content management system with its capabilities to produce professional and high end websites. As many of you are not aware of MODx please read my blog on what MODx is or visit the MODx website. Among other popular CMS’s such as Joomla and Drupal, MODx is the most user friendly CMS I have used and picked up very quickly. MODx is very well designed and has a backend like all other CMS for users to create content and functionality.
