MIGX

Multi-Items-Grid for MODX-Revolution.

What is MIGX

MIGX is a custom Template Variable (TV) input type for aggregating multiple TVs into one TV. This aggregation greatly simplifies the workflow for end users of the manager to add complex data items to the manager. A data item can consist of any number of any other TVs, including text, images, files, checkboxes, etc.

The package is highly customizable and allows the developer to define a custom input window for the MIGX TV. From this input window, items can be added, modified, and reordered.

The package also ships with a snippet (getImageList) that facilitates the easy retrieval of the complex data items from the custom MIGX TV input type.

MIGXdb

While MIGX stores its items all in one field as a json-string, MIGXdb handles records of custom-tables. With a MIGXdb-TV, you can handle resource-related-records of a custom-table or even child-resources of the currently edited resource.

Its also very easy to create CMPs (Custom Manager Pages) to manage your custom-tables with help of MIGXdb.

There is also a snippet (migxLoopCollection) to show records of custom-tables at the frontend.
