When using checkbox, listbox and radio type TVs, you are probably used to defining the values in the TV properties. But if you want to change those values to fix a typo, you will lose the selections on all resources that have that value selected. The team at Qaraqter found that unacceptable, and came up with a solution in the form of a new extra called Set Input Options, which is available today.

I've recently been working on a project with Formalicious where the client requested dynamically-filled select inputs. This is pretty straightforward to set up, as shown in this tutorial.

Since MODX 2.5.7 it's no longer possible, out of the box, to create .htaccess files. You might run into this when setting up a new MODX site with friendly URLs, where you get an error when renaming the shipped ht.access file to .htaccess. Luckily there's an easy way to get that back.

You've probably experienced it: getting locked out of the manager. Maybe your account got blocked because someone tried to brute-force your account, or you forgot your username or password. It happens, but luckily with a bit of poking around the database you can get back in. In this post from 2014, Bob Ray explains a number of ways to restore access to your account.

The PHP Version usage of MODX sites can be tracked by the Package Providers used. modmore offers such a package provider for our free and premium extras, and in this article we've taken our sample of 3565 MODX sites running v2.4 or up, and summarised the PHP version they use by minor version.

Vasily Naumkin developed mxManager, an iOS app to manage MODX websites. In this article Vasily shows how to set it up, what it can do, and shares what features he will add in the future.
