Editing PhpBB (section)

===MODX===

'''MODX''' is an [[XML]]-based document format developed by the phpBB Extensions Team that is used to describe the steps required to modify the source code of a [[web application]] in order to install a modification.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.phpbb.com/mods/modx/|title=phpBB • MODX Resource Centre|access-date=June 4, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130511023734/https://www.phpbb.com/mods/modx/|archive-date=May 11, 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref> Although it can theoretically be utilised for any web application, it was developed for and is primarily used by MODs for phpBB. The phpBB Extensions Team requires that MODs submitted to its database conform to the MODX specifications and other policies.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.phpbb.com/mods/policies/general.php |title=phpBB3 MOD Database Policies |publisher=Phpbb.com |date=January 18, 2009 |access-date=2009-03-09}}</ref> The primary purpose of using an XML-based format is to better allow automatic installation tools, such as AutoMOD, to read and complete the installation instructions. MODX files can be viewed in a [[web browser]] using an included [[XSLT]] file. The latest revision of the MODX spec is 1.2.6, released on December 15, 2012.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=2167180 |title=phpBB • View topic – MODX 1.2.6 Released |publisher=Phpbb.com |date=December 15, 2012 |access-date=2014-12-31}}</ref>
