Helpful MODx Links

Since MODx is a free open-source project, no one is paid to maintain or add to the MODx documentation. It's up to people like you to add useful information, clarify confusing text, and correct any errors they find. If you use MODx, please do your part and contribute. Before you complain about weaknesses in the available information, remember how much you paid for MODx and the incredible amount of work that has been done by volunteer members of the MODx user community in creating and maintaining MODx itself and all of MODx's support materials.

Here are a number of MODx links that I've found helpful in developing MODx sites:

Download the latest stable release of MODx at the Get MODx Here page.

The MODx Wiki is a great source of information about all of MODx. It's the first place to look for information about how to use MODx to meet your needs.

The MODx Documentation site has tons of information about how to use MODx.

The MODx Resource Repository is a place to look for useful snippets, chunks, plugins and other add-ons to MODx. It is changing constantly so check back periodically to look for new resources.

Susan Ottwell's excellent explanation of how MODx works from the inside can be found here. 

If you are thinking of creating a new MODx resource (usually a snippet) that others might want to use, the first step is to look at the guidelines in the MODx module, plugin, and snippet creation and development part of the MODx Forums. There you'll find some excellent advice on how to make your resource a solid contribution to the MODx framework. You'll also find some excellent tips and guidelines on snippet creation at the MODx Wiki Creating Snippets page.

The next step is to post your resource as an attachment to a message in a new topic in the MODX Forums "In Development" section. Other MODx users can then give you feedback about improving your resource and you'll get a general idea of whether people think it's a useful addition to MODx.

Once your new resource is well organized and robust, you can upload it to the MODx Resource Repository for others to download.

The MODx Forums are another great source of information and a place to ask questions about using MODx. The MODx user community is one of the most active, friendly, and helpful groups on the planet. Be sure to read the MODx Forum Guidelines before posting there.
