=======[ MODX Addons/Extras ]=======
:: Mod More Premium Extras ::
Premium extras by Mark Hamstra
https://www.modmore.com/
::Provisioner::
This component allows the provisioning of a revolution installation from another remote installation. Resources, elements, files and users can be imported with this release. Packages present in the remote installation but not locally are also listed.
http://modx.com/extras/package/provisioner
:: Statcache ::
The statcache extra is made up of a Plugin for MODX Revolution that writes out static representations of fully cacheable MODX Resources to a configurable location on the filesystem. You can then use your web server's rewrite engine (or equivalent) to serve the static files first, if they exist. This has the advantage of bypassing MODX (and PHP) entirely, allowing you to serve potentially thousands of more requests per second. It has the disadvantage of not allowing any dynamic content to be served however.
http://modx.com/extras/package/statcache
:: phpthumbsup ::
Includes option for Responsive Breakpoints.
phpThumbsUp is a MODX addon that manipulates source images to create thumbnails. You can use phpThumbsUp to create thumbnai images for galleries, automatically size user-uploaded images for mobile devices, or automatically add complex image filters to photos. It's based on the popular phpThumbOf package, but with more options and better performance.
http://modx.com/extras/package/phpthumbsup
http://www.darkstardesign.com/resources/phpthumbsup/
:: pThumb ::
pThumb is compatible with phpThumbOf, significantly faster and eliminates some potential problems caused by phpThumbOf bugs
http://modx.com/extras/package/pthumb
:: imageSlim ::
imageSlim scans an HTML fragment for img tags, compares each image's natural size to its desired size and if needed calls phpThumbOf to size it down. If you've looked at AutoFixImageSize or DirectResize but ran into their limitations, give imageSlim a try today.
http://modx.com/extras/package/imageslim
::RefreshCache (Bob Ray)::
RefreshCache is a snippet for MODX Revolution that refreshes all cacheable resources and the chunks and snippets they contain -- whether they need it or not. It is slow and inelegant.
http://modx.com/extras/package/refreshcache
http://bobsguides.com/refreshcache-tutorial.html
:: ContextRouter 1.1.0-pl2 | Author: MarkH ::
ContextRouter is a simple plug-and-play plugin allowing you to use different contexts, and, based on the http_host context settings you need to set anyway, it routes your front-end requests as required.
http://modx.com/extras/package/contextrouter
:: VersionX ::
VersionX is a utility tool for MODX Revolution that will help you version your content in Resources, Templates, Chunks, Snippets and Plugins. Every save is recorded and can easily be looked back, compared and restored through the component or the "Versions" tabs that get added to the update screens.
http://modx.com/extras/package/versionx
:: MetaX ::
Automatically generates Meta tags for your pages
http://modx.com/extras/package/metax
:: FirstChildRedirect ::
Redirect users to the first document in a folder.
http://modx.com/extras/package/firstchildredirect
http://rtfm.modx.com/extras/revo/firstchildredirect
:: getCache ::
A generic caching snippet for caching the output of any MODx Element using a configurable cache handler. Official documentation at http://github.com/opengeek/getCache/wiki Issues
http://modx.com/extras/browse/?search=getcache
Note: !getCache? - GetCache itself is always called uncached because it must determine, on every page request, if the element it's wrapping needs to be processed or not.
:: fastField ::
This plugin adds new tag [[#resource_id.field]] for MODX Revolution 2.2+.It is a simple replacement of getResourceField.
It supports grabbing:
[[#1.pagetitle]] resource fields
[[#1.tv.myTV]] resource TVs (processed)
[[#1.properties.articles.articlesPerPage]] resource properties
[[#POST.name]] value of $_POST['name'] (and other global arrays as with snippet getReqParam)
:: ShowTv :: by bobray
This snippet for MODX Revolution allows you to display the value of any TV on any page, chunk, or template, even if the the TV is not connected to the current Resource and/or the current Template.
See the tutorial at: http://bobsguides.com/showtv-tutorial.html
:: FileDownload R ::
This snippet lists the given directory paths or filenames to be downloaded and counted.The file path is encrypted with a hashed method so no one will know your real path.
http://modx.com/extras/package/filedownloadr
