I have now moved this website over to MODx Revolution 2.0.0. I must say the migration wasn't too difficult although I was waiting on a one click upgrade path but after looking at the way how MODx is built in general, it wouldn't have been possible as different developers use different plugins, snippets and addons. I was reading Muddy Dog Paws and realized he was having problems getting Flickr to work in MODx Revolution.

With MODx Revolution 2.0.0 hitting RC3 it is not long before the final version is released. I took some interest in Revolution from the time it hit RC2 and have been working on a internal project with it. I wanted to manage a few internal websites with it so I put it to the test to see how easy it would be to do this.

This website was developed a while before I decided to re-build my portfolio website. During the process of making this website it taught me how to manage a MODx project and keeping everything organized. In the blog post I will add some of the snippets I used while making freelance [the workspace].

First on the list is the GetAuthor snippet which is always useful when creating blog like sections on a website and you want to display the author of the page's name.

Upgrading is good but there are some who just don’t updgade as often as others, so I have upgraded to Firefox 3 but wanted to keep Firefox 2 at hand for testing websites I develop, so here is how to install multiple copies of Firefox on Windows.

When working with Arrays there are normally a few tasks that you tend to repeat and the functions are not that evident from the names alone. I created a helper object which allows you to convert a JSON string to objects and store them into a array.

When developing applications for Facebook there are a few pitfall that every developer should know about:

After long Nights and Hard pushed Days, I have managed to get the new website up and running. This have been a long awaiting task and now I have completed it. When the task of designing and developing a new website came to mind I had to decide on which tools I would be using. It was easy  to decide on which web technology to build it on since I am more experienced with PHP than any other web technology.

When creating a plugin for any open source system it is always good to check if what you have in mind is already created and also a good starting point is to check out other plugins already made for the system. My first Frog CMS plugin came about while browsing the forum and seeing a discussion about tags. The original plugin was created by someone else but in its early stage I joined in the thread and improved on what was originally created. Â In the end Tagger was the product of the that thread.
