Repository of ready-made solutions MODx Evo


Hi, I represent Studio "Sofa.Design". For over five years we develop sites on MODx Evo. It just so happened that the problems we have always tried to solve in General and we have accumulated a variety of packages (all sorts of snippets, plugins, modules, well, you know). Almost all this time we kept all these things locally and never posted (for various reasons, we omit them ;-). Then once we have finished and posted a couple of products from the official build (ManagerManager, for example), and we liked it. Not like us only official repository MODx, what is he "not"... We sat down and thought about it and found several points that I would like to see in the repository:

the
    the
  • navigation through the products with the following tags (probably the most comfortable that you can think of).
    • the
  • Output all the products with different sorting: by date of update, name, and number of downloads.
    • the
  • Display product names, dates, short descriptions and the number of downloads in the list of all products.
    • the
  • Each product should be broken into versions, each version should be:
    the
      the
    • Type (plugin, module, snippet, etc), title, version, date, tags.
      • the
    • List of all libraries and other products that are used, if possible with links and reviews whether it is necessary to connect further, or is already contained in the archive.
      • the
    • Description, simple human verbal description.
      • the
    • Screenshots (if you have something to show).
      • the
    • Documentation: installation instructions, configuration, description of the parameters. Each parameter should be: name, description, possible values, default value and whether it is mandatory.
      • the
    • usage Examples.
      • the
    • multi-level tree-like comments. This is very important, people should be able here ask question, answer others ' questions, to report a bug, propose a solution, and just to see what has already been discussed.
      • the
    • List of changes (changelog) in comparison with the previous version.

    • the
  • Also need a separate page with a complete list of changes for all versions. This is a must when you need to upgrade to something with a version of, say, 0.x to 1.x (would be very convenient to see where the path has changed and what problems may arise).
    • the
  • a Simple, annoying, beautiful, minimalistic design, no extra prettiness, but not without the necessary to be comfortable to use on a daily basis.
    • the
  • Able to communicate with the developers (feedback form, for example).
    • the
  • Multilingual support. Not all well know English, and native just convenient at times to read.
    • the
  • RSS with all products and versions.

In the end, we just went and did your own repository, trying to take into account and implement all of the above points, and filled it with their products. While posted is not all, but the most delicious in our opinion. Oh yeah, code.divandesign.ru =)

Write here about all of the products will not very much, and the repository of the description is all there. I would like to mention a new version of ManagerManager (0.4 now, it's time to get closer to 1.0 ;-), timed to the opening of the repository and the module ddMMEditor to him.

Well, go on, write your suggestions, ideas, questions in the comments and everything. Also read our Twitter, and we sometimes write and always answer)

Good day to all, good and positive!

mSearch: search + filter for MODX Revolution

Something blog MODX habré completely withered, we need to spice things up. I want to introduce you to your component, which has recently been almost completely rewritten and expanded. It's called mSearch and originally conceived as a simple site search with account of morphology of the Russian language. That is, you had a quick and easy solution for any site without installing Sphinx and other major systems. In the process gugleniya, I came across a interesting this task by phpMorphy . Full text search on a table with an index, with the generation of different word forms. The idea I liked, by my criteria it came up and I wrote my solution, basing this method. the mSearch This snippet and plugin. The snippet is looking for the plug-in index documents when saving. Installation, as usual, from the repository, in 4 clicks. At the same time, you will be prompted to download and install for phpMorphy dictionaries of the Russian language — do not give up.

Emulator data from GNSS receiver NMEA

Introduction I had the need to test an application that uses the GNSS data NMEA. was Due to the fact that worked on the project navigation of the aircraft, test the air expensive naturally on earth to drive a car with a GNSS receiver is not particularly convenient, that like sitting at the table to have a virtual parallel port data Protocol NMEA allegedly moving equipment. First, search for different software had to try and find something suitable, but most paid and control of the emulation data is not very convenient, although practically emulate all settings of the NMEA standard. But I needed something simple emulating coordinates, speed, in principle, nothing more was required quite convenient and logical control. So I had to write an app of this kind in C#. Fly_nmea NMEA ("National Marine Electronics Association") — the full name is "NMEA 0183" is a text communication Protocol, marine (typically navigation) equipment together. Data is transmit

The game Let's Twist: the Path into the unknown

earlier this year, a group of experienced developers worked on the game Studio, violating all canons of mobile development. Low influx of users (or rather his absolute lack of), lack advertising budgets and publisher support dismantled the team, and it was decided to take a risk and create something of their own, to prove to ourselves first that big budgets and famous is not the main success factor. In this article I, Arthur, founder and game designer of an indie team ArmNomads Games (consisting of three people), I want to share passed us by in the dangerous wilds of mobile gaming. From idea to final release. The main objective of the idea was the search for a particular publisher and the target audience. We knew that to do something universal is very difficult. Guided by the limited resources and time, it was decided to cooperate with the publisher Ketchapp, but at the same time, have escape routes. To this end, we attempted to combine the minimalistic gameplay and beau
