After a few months of inactivity, I'm ready to start working on my snippets again. I have updated the AjaxSearch snippet and Wayfinder to the latest and greatest here on my website and in the MODx repository.

Over the last few days I have been going through the code for Wayfinder to optimize and add new features. I still have a few things left to do before making this a final release, but would like to start getting feedback on the changes to make sure I didn't break anything. Below is a list of the changes.

As MODx makes its shift to using MooTools, I decided to go ahead and get AjaxSearch ported over. The search I have in my sidebar is using the latest version, and you can see it in action. Along with the conversion to MooTools, I added in some bug fixes and some new feautes including template and language file support.

Instead of putting all of the documentation and examples into the notebook area of my site I have created a new section called Development. I will continue to post info about updates to my code in the notebook and then link to the development area for the full documentation. This will allow me to keep all of the code in one place and not have to update everything everytime I put out an update.

Last week it was discovered that the file download.php that was included with the FileDownload snippet could be exploited to download any file. After a qucik fix was released, I looked for a better way to increase the download security. After doing some searching on different methods of securing downloads, I decided it would be best just to use facilities provided by MODx.
