Or dmMatrix
Never heard of modx b4
um this is fucking amazing
But the name is stupid, and the website is aweful, took me 5 minutes to find out wtf it was.
I love when designers over market something and entirely miss the point.
Thanks
I've used a bunch of CMSes before MODx (evo) when I didn't know much php, like joomla and drupal, but found them too complicated and hard to customize without knowledge of php. When I came across it, I saw the way they did the templates and template variables system, it was so easy to extend the page to do what I wanted with little php knowledge. It has been my go-to CMS for a while, then I tried the updated (revo) version and had some performance issues. And then I haven't been using CMSes for a while after, and when I did I looked for something smaller, as I found myself thinking that these CMSes are a bit of overkill. So I've used GetSimple on smaller projects, but this is the first time I've needed to do something larger.
I have just came across the specialpages plugin, almost by accident, so now I'm trying to figure it out. I'm not sure where I can add the page templates. But it seems like this plugin was made to do exactly what I need, I just need to play around with it for a bit.
