    I am sure this has been asked before, but I have searched around on the docs, here and on Google, but not been able to find it, so I figured I would ask as someone will likely know right off.

    I am trying to make a simple MODx plugin (basically a manager page with some settings for db fields). As I want to be able to package it and use it on several sites I tried following Shaun McCormick’s tutorial: http://rtfm.modx.com/display/~splittingred/2008/06/26/Writing+a+3rd+Party+Component+in+MODx+Revolution%2C+Pt.+I

    However things like the Tools->Package Builder do not exist in the latest version? Anyway I really liked the tutorial and was following it and understanding the ideas, but it of course is no good if it is out of date.

    Anyone know of a nice simple tutorial (like the one for the doodles plugin) that works with the 1.0 final releases of Revolution?

    Thanks,

    Wil

      Have you seen this: http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Custom+Manager+Pages+Tutorial?

      BTW, all Revolution versions are 2.x not 1.x. The 1.x versions are Evolution, which has no Package Installation utility.

      Revolution does have PackMan, which is a limited version of Package Builder, although it might not meet your needs. Package Builder was unreliable although it may return someday.
