Modx Download Pdf
I don't work with MODX anymore.
This package contains source for an HTML to PDF converter for MODX Evolution, which is available atthe MODX Website
MODX Connect is a convenient tool which lets you transfer data between your computer and the MODX. Song data created on the MODX can be transferred to your computer and the Performance data edited on the MODX can be saved as a file (.X7B) on the computer.
Currently it is not planned to create a copy for MODX Revolution.

###Usage of TCPDF###
This MODX snippet uses TCPDF, available at http://www.tcpdf.org/, to create thePDF Files from the content of a web document, published with MODX. TCPDF ispart of the package. TCPDF itself is licensed under LGPL V3, as described athttp://www.tcpdf.org/license.php.The current version of TCPDF used in this package is 5.9.145.
The main goal is to create highly configurable PDF documents. This is possiblewith parameters that one can use in the snippet tag and through the usage of chunks.All chunks make use of the placeholders as defined in other MODX snippets.
###Installation###
###Upload###For the installation you need to upload the TCPDF in the directory:
The snippet classes should be located at:
###Create the snippet htmlToPDF###Create a new snippet with the source of snippet.hmtlToPDF.php and call thesnippet within your templates, probably at the top of the template.For the snippet call you can add several chunks as templates. Examples are inthe assets/snippets/htmlToPDF/chunks/ directory.
###Create the plugin htmlToPDF###Create a new plugin with the source of plugin.htmlToPDF.On the page 'System Events' choose these two options in the area 'Documents':
- OnBeforeDocFormDelete
- OnDocFormSave
###Example Snippet Call###
Here is an example for a call to htmlToPDF:
###How to call the snippet###
Place the snippet in the template of the document, where you want your readersto download the content as PDF.The advantage is, that you only have one call for all your documents.
If you have documents where that you do not want to publish as PDF and you onlywant to use one template, than try it with a template variable (TV) for this andPHX for the call and put your call to htmlToPDF into a snippet:
Where printPDF ist a possible name for the TV and snippetCAllhtmlToPDF is thename of the snippet.
PHX is available at http://modx.com/extras/package/phx
###Link Generation###There is a chunk named pdf-link.txt that includes an example how to create alink to the current document. The example looks like the following:
###Default Properties###
The snippet default properties are only needed, if you want to set TCPDF,htmlToPDF, or the document output to other paths, as defined by default.If you need to change this information, go the 'Properties' tab on thehtmlToPDF snippet and add the following parameters to the field'Default Properties' and afterwards insert your paths:&basePath=The base path for TCPDF and htmlToPDF;string; &htmlToPdfPath=The path to the classes of htmlToPDF;string; &tcpdfPath=The path to TCPDF;string; &outputPdfPath=The path, where the PDF documents are stored.

History[edit]
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.
In 2010, the first version of MODX Revolution, a complete rewrite of the CMS, was released. MODX LLC was founded in May 2010.[3] May 2010 also saw the first official MODX conference, MODXpo Dallas. The event's main sponsor was Microsoft.[4]
In July 2012 ClipperCMS, an independent fork of MODX Evolution (MODX 1) was launched.
In October 2012, MODX LLC launched MODX Cloud, a cloud-based hosting service for MODX sites.[5]
In March 2013, MODX LLC split MODX Cloud into another company, SiphonLabs. The venture also offered WordPress hosting.[6] This separation was short-lived, and MODX Cloud was re-integrated into the parent company in July 2013.[7]
In June 2013, Mark Hamstra—a well-known developer in the MODX community—launched modmore.[8] modmore is the first major source of premium add-ons for MODX. In November of that year the second official MODXpo was held in Cologne, Germany.
In January 2014, MODX was added to the BitNami installer library.[9] John Peca joined the core development team, replacing Shaun McCormick who moved on after the SiphonLabs event.
In July 2014, MODX 2.3 was released to the public.[10] The release—the biggest for several years—features a significantly updated manager interface and various minor feature improvements. In September of that year modmore hosted the first MODX Weekend[11] in Utrecht, The Netherlands.
In August 2015, MODX 2.4 was released to the public. [12] This version introduce package dependencies for MODX Extras, as well as numerous security, stability and performance improvements.
In November 2015 the MODXpo Conference was hosted by Kochan & Partner in Munich, Germany,[13] with speakers from across Europe and the United States engaging in a 3-day exposition of MODX and the future of the platform.

sitepoint.com reviewed MODX on May 13, 2016. '. MODX is not my recommendation for a non-technical person to build a website, but it’s a great choice for a developer who needs to give clients protected access to editing content. MODX is excellent, with a pretty strait learning curve, if you’re a developer and want freedom to design how you wish.'[17]
