WARNING: please be aware of the potential of crashing your layout when upgrading to v2

As version 2 of MODX-Boilerplate got some major differences in code (like css normalization) in comparison to version 1.x you might not be able to just upgrade your existing v1.x setup.

Be sure to do a backup of your existing structure, chunks, etc. before upgrading to v2.

Here's a checklist for you:

  • you have to rewrite all your css-files due to the fact MODX-Boilerplate is now fully responsive and follows the 320up concept. That means you can use style.css as usual but it's recommended to use core.css + all mq-files.
  • be sure to test if the css normalization instead of css reset doesn't break your layout
  • check if you use Facebook OpenGraph or XFBML. If yes, add your authorization IDs. If not, remove the whole Facebook code!
  • check if .htaccess file is still right and supported by your server
  • we now have a specific license on the MODX-Boilerplate
  • X-UA is disabled in chunk-code by default and enabled in ht.access by default. Change if your server doesn't support this.
  • check if you use the css setting "box-sizing" when using 1140px grid. If not, please do so and check your layout.

This list may be incomplete. I cannot give any warranty if something goes wrong while updating. If there's something to add, be sure to edit this Wiki page oder notify me.
