Welcome to this new series of tutorials on the MODx CMS where we’re going to be talking about creating custom snippets for MODx Evolution 1.0.x. We’ve been building a website called Learn MODx and so far it’s just a simple but functional website. We’re going to keep building on and enhancing this website. Before we proceed, I should mention that I’ve already updated the Learn MODx website to the most recent version of MODx Evolution 1.0.2. If you started at the beginning with me and still have your site running on 0.9.6.3, please take a moment to upgrade your site. You can watch this screencast on how to upgrade your MODx site.
In this series on creating simple custom snippets, we’re going to look at the basics of creating your own snippets. I’m no PHP guru so we’re not going to be doing anything crazy here 🙂 but I hope to give you enough information to jump start you into exploring and digging further to create bigger and better things and see how truly powerful and extensible MODx is.
