MODX Revolution Vs. MODX Evolution

MODX Evolution empowers software developers and enthusiasts to build websites exactly how they want since many years. Let us see some differences between MODX Revolution and MODX Evolution.

         MODX Evolution is classic code base that entered stable production release in 2005. It has a larger number of Add-ons which offers pre-built functionality and is highly optimized to execute well for many types of websites.

MODX Revolution was created over a three year period and saw its first public release in 2010. It is a totally rewrite to address the requirements of outsized websites, and to offer a more scalable, configurable and feature-rich framework.

     MODX Evolution may be faster for minor web sites, but MODX Revolution can scale to much larger, multi-server environments, including customizable caching, multiple database support like MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server.

     In addition MODX Revolution, natively supports multiple websites, secure configurations with most files stored outside of web root.

While both Evo and Revo support Resources (web pages) and Weblinks (redirecting links to other pages on the internet), MODX Revolution also includes Static Resources, Symlinks (links to other pages that can maintain their position in dynamic menus), the ability to generate custom resources and Media Sources which can store files literally anywhere.

Back Up MODx website

.

Although, MODx is not available with an included tool for backing up the content of your website, there is a Module that makes this task easier. The module is named Modbak and can be downloaded from modx website.

Once you install and run Modback, it creates a .zip file that contains all of the files of your website and a dump file of its database. Installing the module is quite very easy process. One simply needs to follow the steps in the download URL and you will have the module installed and running within a minute.

Secondly, you can create backups of your website manually. You need to archive your files and the database of your application.

Now, if your hosting account is under 500 MB, you can take benefit of the internal cPanel backup tool. Log in to your cPanel account and click on the Backups button. On this page, press the "Download or Generate a Full Web Site Backup" button and follow the instructions one by one. A complete backup of your account (including your MODx website) will be downloaded to your local computer within few minutes.

MODX: Minnow or Newbie?

                                   

While searching for the best CMS (Content Management System), Please allow me to clear MODX is neither a “minnow” or a “newbie”. It has its own loyal followers, user base and properly documented code. It powers plentiful organizations websites and has its own cloud solutions.

            MODX is not just a blogging tool like WordPress.  On a personal note, I do find the MODX interface to be better than that of Joomla! I have a dashboard, and separate menus for Site, Reports, Tools, Systems and Users. However, mastering it without turning help files should be avoided.

            Our experts can certainly provide you a MODX based software utility which can add value to your work. Please contact us from http://www.emodx.com/.

MODx : Latest Content Management System

It may be difficult for an IT programmer, who is working on ModX and WordPress for many years, to compare the two content management systems. It is as good as to compare apples and oranges. Can we compare them? No, we cannot.

Wordpress was built as a blogging platform that requires hacks in order to fully customize it. MODX is a full-fledged framework capable of doing anything you ask it, and it does so more easily than Joomla, Drupal or Concrete5. As far as the speed is concerned, MODX employs powerful caching mechanisms to reduce server load and database look ups. Additional layers of advanced caching can be implemented and customized easily, even by those without PHP abilities.

To see how our MODx experts are building the blocks for enterprises, please visit on http://www.emodx.com.

ModX: Is it the Right Choice for your business?

Content management systems are becoming better and better. The best thing of any tool is to allow you to do customization to serve your requirement perfectly. I use both, ModX and WordPress and we find them awesome.

We like the ease of use that WordPress brings in and I appreciate the customization that ModX offers. Generally, If someone has worked on WordPress for a long time, they will find ModX confusing. Or If someone have been a ModX user since a long time, they will not be able to operate WordPress.

Usability is a subjective concept. It is upto our creative designers how wisely they use the ModX CMS and make work easier for you. For more details on our services and case studies- Please visit www.emodx.com.
