    Hi there,

    is this feature
    Installer
    The new MODx installer adds the time- and task-saving ability for developers to install MODx with their favorite and customizations of the Add-ons it handles.. Simply drop your snippets, chunks, plugins and modules into the relevant directories as .tpl files, add a phpDocs formatted header, and the installer automatically presents the choices for you to install the Elements directly into the MODx database.
    explained somewhere in detail?

    I like this feature very much but I can’t get it running with this info alone.

    Thanks in advance
    Martin

      Look at the files located in install/assets/*/

      Basically, we’re using phpDocumentor formatted blocks which tell the installer what to do with files, config options, events, etc. Still need to do the same with templates and TVs, but the proof of concept works quite nicely.

        Wow, that’s cool!

        I only looked into the "normal" assets folder, not in the install folder. It works like a charme.

        Thank you
