About SIMPLX Controller
Go with the flow!
Please see the forum thread for tutorial and information (to be updated since the table syntax has changed a bit)
Many times when building an app on top of Modx i have wanted to do some custom routing depending on state of a form, or a specific url parameter or whatever. In order to cut dev time i began thinking about making a generic routing controller to supplement the Modx system.
With SIMPLX_Controller you can easily execute Snippets depending on Resource URL, QueryString parameter, HTTP method, Cookie value or whatever is present in the Request Message.
Functionality like this is found in most MVC frameworks, so if you have played around with Symfony etc you will find the concept familiar.
Have fun :)

This is very cool as it makes it possible to run different configurations, e.g. Routing Tables, at
different System Events. The Plugin Property Set has the exact same signature as the Snippet set.
"GET":"modapi.modchunk.default"
- Loads of fixes :) UPDATE 111005NEW FEATURES:- Better structure to the Routing Table definition by adding named object collections ("constraints","rules","conditions") instead of implicit type naming.
This means that you can basically encode the json and get this interface:
print 'Hey, I can route on Content-Type!';
}
