MODx (Template:Pron-en) is a free, open source content management system and web application framework for publishing content on the world wide web and intranets. MODx is licensed under the GPL, is written in the PHP programming language and uses the MySQL database. It was awarded Packt Publishing's Most Promising Open Source Content Management System in 2007.[1]

History

The developers Raymond Irving and Ryan Thrash began the MODx CMS project in 2004 as a mashup of DocVars for Etomite and Raymond's web user add-on. In March 2005 all references to "MODx" were removed from the Etomite forums, coupled with a request from its founder to cease MODx support activities there. At this point, MODx became a fork of Etomite.

By May 2005, the MODx forums were online and Jason Coward joined the project leadership team. In 2007, Raymond left the project on amicable terms. The following year, Shaun McCormick joined the project leadership team.

In 2008 MODx users created a new logo and branding for the project.

Features

MODx allows for full segregation of content (plain HTML), appearance and behavior (standards compliant CSS and JavaScript) and logic (PHP, snippets).

Additional MODx features include:

Translations and community

MODx has active, global end-user and developer communities. These communities have translated MODx into their native languages, including: Alsatian, Bulgarian, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazilian and European), Russian, Serbian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish. Other active communities reside in India and the United Kingdom.

Recognition, awards, and publications

In July 2007, MODx was awarded Packt Publishing's Most Promising Open Source Content Management System award[1]

Linux.com reviewed MODx on January 14, 2008. Its author concluded, "MODx is an easy-to-use, standards-compliant, search-engine-friendly, functional, and extensible CMS…".[2]
