MODX Evo to ProcessWire (rush project)

[suede]

Hey everyone,

I have an old MODX Evo site I need to convert to either ClipperCMS or ProcessWire, but I would like to try out the latter one.

So the mission would be to use the old MODX site as backend reference, and then install ProcessWire with the new templates. There's a couple of things that need to work, such as Slider etc.

If we continue the PW-route we would consider you doing all future implementations too. Please PM or email me, and this is on rather short notice.

Many in here come from modx, my self included. I know clippercms, a forked modx evo.

That's why I can say from my own experience (so this time no disclaimer needed here)

that the decision you have to make is very easy: processwire is more easy as modx evo

and revo, but with a much better core and api. We have been through this in both forums

so many times already, how can you have missed all those posts on both sides ?

Anyway what kind of help do you need ? Do you have to port many pages ?

It can be as easy as setting up your templates in processwire and then copy and paste

your old site content into the fields of processwire.

Hope this helps, and welcome to processwire. Some more links here:

Thanks, those are great links. I read them before and it makes me even more determined to switch over to PW. Even though ClipperCMS is a good candidate too. I wanted to try PW for this project and possible switch over completely. We found someone to help us with this, I'll keep you posted. Thanks forum!
