Build and extra/transportable package to extend Lexicon

I'm searching a way to extend modX Lexicon with my own.

- I would like to Add entries via modX Lexicon

- Have the possibility to export my Lexicon package with Packman extra in order to reuse it on another modX installations.

I know I can add Lexicon entry with modX Lexicon but there is no way to export new words to another modX installation -- without to have to deal with phpMyAdmin to export and import tables --.

Any ideas?

MyComponent has some pretty full-featured lexicon help for you (it will even write the lexicon files for you if you do things right), but you have to learn it and adapt your project to fit how it works. It's worth it, imo, if you will be doing much work on your package. http://bobsguides.com/mycomponent-tutorial.html

PackMan will let you specify directories to transport, so if you send your lexicon directories to core/components/{yourcomponent)/lexicon/ they should be usable by the installed package, but it's kind of a pain to set up. MyComponent will do this for you automatically.

I'm simply doing this by creating a new file in core/lexicon/<lang>/customstrings.inc.php then you can find these in the lexicon manager page under topics. this file can be easily copied to any other site.
