Roadmap
Last edited by JP DeVries on Apr 8, 2014.
This is a work-in-progress roadmap for MODx Revolution.
Incremental steps towards better community engagement and involvement in MODX core development...
Every effort will be made to ensure this document is up-to-date. For issues and suggestions, or if you'd like to contribute please
contact the author directly. We could use help on just about anything you see below.
Revolution 2.3.0
Release: Q2 2014 | Feature cut-off: April 15th 2013
Feature | Description | Required | Status |
---|---|---|---|
Package Dependencies | Ability for developers to specify package dependencies in their build scripts. On installation, users will be presented with a list of missing dependencies and have the option to install them. Subsequently an installation queue will be initiated. | ExtJS UI needs work. When the installer spawns a new instance of itself, the parent installation process is terminated. Subsequent testing. |
In Progress |
One Connector to Rule Them All | Developers can include the one main connector instead of a collection of them. Actions will be identified by Name (full path) rather than an ID. | Extensive testing with third-party CMPs to ensure compatibility.* | Beta |
User Group Settings | Ability to override Settings per User Group, based on rank within a given User Profile, with preference to the Primary User Group. | Extensive testing required in "real world" situations.* | Beta |
Context Name Field | Contexts now have a Name field for display (vs. the key) - needs to be hooked up to the Resource Tree, with options (which field to display and sortby/sortdir?) | ExtJS modifications to the Resource Tree. Subsequent testing. | Delayed |
Redesigned Manager Theme | The 2.3 Manager sports a new look, with redesigned menu architecture, as well as pretty pixel-y stuff. Streamlined ExtJS, resulting in a faster Manager experience. Easily create custom Manager themes with Sass and ExtJS Layout overrides. | Cross browser compatibility with CSS and bug fixes. | Beta |
Uberbar | Find anything inside the Manager. | Extensive testing required in "real world" situations.* |
Beta |
Revolution 2.4.0
Release: TBD
Feature | Description | Required | Status |
---|---|---|---|
Redesigned Manager Theme | The 2.3 Manager sports a new look, with redesigned menu architecture, as well as pretty pixel-y stuff. Streamlined ExtJS, resulting in a faster Manager experience. Easily create custom Manager themes with Sass and ExtJS Layout overrides. | Cross browser compatibility with CSS and bug fixes. | Beta |
Media Manager | A new Manager Page to browse, upload, and manage media as well as a new modal file uploader. Drag n' Drop uploading. Targets 2.x and shooting to be stable before 2.3 feature cut-off. Contributors needed. | AJAX connectors to hook the front end JavaScript up to MODX. Cross browser compatibility with CSS. | In Progress |
ArrayTV | MIGX-like functionality. | Core Guidance from Jason Coward | Idle |
* By "real world" testing, we don't mean Production sites, but development sites with sufficient "real world" complexity.
