MODx Revolution Tags
MODx tags have a slightly different style in MODx Revolution. All tags now start with [[ and end with ]]. This makes the document parser faster and more efficient since the complex code used to identify the old-style tags is gone. Once you get used to the new tag format, you'll find that it's easier and less likely to lead to entry errors.
Here's a list of the tag changes:
MODx Tags
| Old | New |
|---|---|
| Resource Tags | |
| [*ResourceField/TV*] | [[*ResourceField/TV]] |
| Chunk Tags | |
| {{Chunk}} | [[$Chunk]] |
| Snippet Tags | |
| [[Snippet]] | [[Snippet]] |
| Placeholder Tags | |
| [+Placeholder+] | [[+Placeholder]] |
| Link Tags | |
| [~ResourceId~] | [[~ResourceId]] |
| Setting Tags | |
| [(system_setting)] | [[++SettingName]] |
| Language Tags | |
| No Tag | [[%LanguageStringKey]] |
Cache Control
| Old | New |
|---|---|
| [!Snippet!] | [[!Snippet]] |
| No Tag | [[!$Chunk]] |
| No Tag | [[!*ResourceField/TV] |
Note that in Revolution, you can put parameters in the URL for use with $_GET by simply adding them to a link tag:
[[~12? ¶mName=`value`]]
Revolution will work out the appropriate form.
