Front-end document management with PubKit
PubKit is a tool for front-end creation and management of web pages based on MODx resources and custom tables. With it, you can create blogs, news pages, events listings and specialized items using custom database tables. Examples of specialized items in the package are an orchestra and a committee.
Elements of PubKit have also been used to create a guestbook, an enquiry form and a photo gallery (to be published later).
PubKit supersedes PubKitBlog. It caters for a wider variety of item types, and allows you to create new ones without changing core code. Item types are defined in PHP classes. Unlike PubKitBlog, with PubKit you can use any standard document field in your items, and you can update any document field (including the "published" field) or template variable independently of other actions on the item.
In these pages you will find full listings of the files and other resources in a sample PubKit application that you can download and adapt to your needs.Note this is beta software. I'd like to have some feedback (preferably via MODx forums) and make installation a little easier before adding it to the MODx Extras repository.
Download the latest version of PubKit (0.6.4 Beta, 2 July 2010)
PubKitBlog is still available here. It is only planned to add one or two features (enable more text fields to be used, enable fields and TVs to be updated directly) before the project is closed.
