It’s Snow (Up) Time Again ❄️
For six years running, Fabien Christensen and Pixmil are hosting a MODX Snowup in a 100-year-old guest house located at a ski resort in Engelberg, Switzerland, from February 27th – March 2nd, 2025.
With lots of discussions on AI planned, this is not one to miss.
You can also expect amazing skiing and snowboarding in the Swiss Alps, epic views, tons of fun, and of course, a fair bit of hacking on and learning about MODX Revolution. There are beds available in the guest house for ~45 Euros/night, or you can opt for more modern accommodations at the ski resort. Up to 25 people can cook, eat, drink, laugh, and learn together at the Gasthaus Grünenwald. There are just a few spots left at the main house, but there are rooms available at the nearby hotels.

Featured Tools, Topics & Extras
✨ MODX Revolution: Now with 1000% More AI
Speaking of AI, we’re excited to release the first extra dedicated to helping you bring generative AI to your MODX websites. As configurable as MODX itself, modAI can work with almost any field in the MODX Manager and supports ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, and/or custom providers (e.g., Ollama).
This revolutionary Extra adds a sparkle button (✨) to your Manager that helps streamline creating things like SEO-optimized meta titles and descriptions, content summaries, and even images, alt tags, or complete articles. modAI seamlessly works with popular Extras like Image+ and SEO Suite—and TinyMCE and Redactor integration is coming.
If you can create a prompt to do something cool, you can have that working directly inside MODX Revolution today.

Gallery, an Extra that helps you manage collections of images, got an important security update. You should definitely upgrade it today.
✅ MODX Buddy
Mat Jones created an awesome companion for your site that helps you double-check to make sure things are set correctly for production websites. Let’s face it, it’s easy to miss some settings on sites that can impact security scans or that should be set differently. With MODX Buddy, you get an extra set of eyes to double-check that things are done right.

💻 MonacoMODX
Mat’s back with another banger that brings the same editor that powers Visual Studio Code (VSC for the cool kids...) to Chunks, Snippets, and other text areas in MODX.

🤓 SEO Suite
If you want to up your SEO game (who doesn’t?), SEO Suite is a great tool to add to any MODX website. SEO Suite helps you manage meta titles and descriptions, sitemaps, URL redirects when moving pages, offers search engine listing previews, and more. This is one of those Extras that should be required for most marketing websites.
🙏 VersionX
Another Extra that falls into the required category is VersionX, from Mark Hamstra at modmore (purveyors of fine premium MODX Extras). VersionX tracks basically everything inside MODX and gives you a way to roll back if you decide you didn’t mean to change your boss's name on the website after all.
