Hi

First off, thanks a million for this Extra! It might just be the most important for the whole MODx Revo project at the moment IHMO.

Could you please add support for nested Categories? It would help structuring more complex Add-ons.

Ciao,
Lars

PS. It seems that Support Topics are not automatically generated for new extras/versions anymore? Bug maybe?

This gets really complex, really fast. But it’s on the future roadmap.

Until we migrate to our new forums, the auto-support topic feature is unavailable. We’ll be migrating soon, though, so don’t worry.

Hi again

New idea: why not let the user pack-up a whole category? Would be a cool shortcut if the user has used categories to wrap up his/hers Chunks/Snippets etc.

So as an example, i would just click on the new "Categories" tab and choose the Categories i have used, and PackMan would take everything included in these categories and add them to the package.

Ciao,
Lars
