Shawn Wilkerson Mon, 30 Aug 2010 22:10:03 +0000 http://wordpress.landonp.com/?p=33#comment-50 To be honest, I do not know how these applications can even be compared. Wordpress is typically for single users wanting a simple web application. Revolution on the other hand, can be extended from Wordpress functionality (i.e. blog) to any application you can dream up. Also, I do not know if you have seen how a Wordpress site was converted to a Revolution site: <a href="http://www.devtrench.com/first-impressions-of-xpdo-wordpress-to-modx-migration-tool/" title="Moving from Wordpress to Revolution" rel="nofollow">WordPress to MODx Migration</a> To be honest, I do not know how these applications can even be compared.

]]> Comment on Working with CodeIgniter: A PHP Rapid Development Framework by Joe Lee http://www.landonp.com/web-development/working-with-codeigniter-a-php-rapid-development-framework/#comment-37 Joe Lee Sun, 22 Aug 2010 11:17:36 +0000 http://wordpress.landonp.com/?p=68#comment-37 Hi I went through the same process of discovery for a decent light mvc framework. These were actual real life experiences (actually building sites with) : * ci - great doc, easy to understand but not happy you cant use the $_GET array out of the box (need to change the core - dodgey?) and its php4 based. * kohana 2.0 branch - basically all the things ci should have been (php 5 especially) but the latest version 3.0 is lacking documentation. * yii - very good and fast mvc with lots of nice helper classes. My only criticism is that you have to use its orm to use some of the other classes (like pagination). Hi

I have been using modx Evo for the past couple of years and about to start on my first Revo build as well. I also enjoy using Wordpress (use it for my blog) as the gui is so easy to use for new users and I agree with your sentiments that the amount of plugins are so helpful but one of the weaknesses I've found is trying to do multiple templates. So much easier in Modx! Couple that and having template variables with a very straight forward way to build implement them in different templates gives Modx the edge over wordpress for now.

I am currently working on a few projects in it. I have not come across anything else that has the power and flexibility as ModX Revolution. The project I am currently working is using the Security features extensively. As the client has offices worldwide, there are numerous people that can only edit certain sections. I am playing around with the Resource Groups, User Groups, Access Policies, Roles and I can say Wow! ModX is so powerful. There is no way you could do this stuff in WP. If you are switching to Revolution, check out the documentation: http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Tag+Syntax where they show the new tags compared to there old tags in Evolution. The switch really should not be to hard for ya! Thanks Mike,

I've been using both WordPress and ModX for a while and I have to say that I love the ease of using ModX. I'm just getting ready to start my first Revo site so it will be a bit new all over again. I also just started taking a look at WP 3 and I have to say it looks pretty cool. However, I like ModX so much I doubt I'll use WP much unless it's requested by my client. Thanks for the comarison!

I can definately see the power in EE but I agree there is a learning curve. But that goes for any system currently out there and once you get that experience under your belt it makes the world of a difference. Thanks Mark!
