Let’s say I have 2-3 templates and a handful of TVs and Chunks that make up my custom “widget” and I’d like to bundle those items and add to to several active MODX installs, is there an easy way to do that? Without manually creating each element on each install?
I’m using the latest Revo 2.5.8 across the board.
Thanks!

The easiest way is the PackMan extra.
If you will be updating the elements often, you might consider MyComponent. Once you have the config file set up the way you want it, you can just make the changes in the Manager, run Export Objects and then Build to create a new package after each change. You can also update the version number of the package.
You can delete all the stuff in the config file that you don't need, as long as it remains valid PHP.

MyComponent might be overkill for what you're doing unless you're going to release an extra or will be making lots of changes over time.
That said, it's not nearly as difficult as it looks at first. I can produce an extra package with it in about 20 minutes once the resources and elements exist.
