Comments on: modX 2 : first opensource ext js cms ? http://www.webmasterbulletin.net/2008/11/modx-2-first-opensource-ext-js-cms/409 Rambling around the web publishing industry Tue, 08 Jun 2010 19:15:56 +0200 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Jay Gilmore http://www.webmasterbulletin.net/2008/11/modx-2-first-opensource-ext-js-cms/409/comment-page-1#comment-542 Jay Gilmore Sun, 02 Nov 2008 02:49:21 +0000 http://www.webmasterbulletin.net/?p=409#comment-542 Thanks for posting about modx CMS. Silverstripe is coming along nicely as a publishers alternative to modx. A couple of things of note. First: Revolution 2.0.0 is not the code name but the public release title for the next generation of modx. This was the 0.9.7 branch until July 14th of 2008 (Bastille Day in France). In addition, while the current backend UI uses ExtJs it is not tied to modx so much as its a means to an end. We may opt to go with a different JS library at the back end but there may also be additional back end interfaces as the new back end is merely an interface to the API and not tied to the core. That being said, if you haven't downloaded the current alpha (five as of this post) please try it out (http://wtf.modxcms.com/downloads/?relPath=core). Its quite fun to play with. If you haven't the stomach for apps not fully baked and want to try out modx please check it out here: http://modxcms.com/downloads.html .
