Adding the multiple menus and sub-menus into transporter package

Hi There

I've created a new extra for modx, and now i'm in the process of packaging the component.

The code below adds the menus into my package (transporter.menu.php)

<?php
$menus = array();

$action= $modx->newObject('modAction');
$action->fromArray(array(
    'id' => 1,
    'namespace' => 'icposts',
    'parent' => 0,
    'controller' => 'post_controllers/index',
    'haslayout' => true,
    'lang_topics' => 'icposts:default',
    'assets' => '',
),'',true,true);
 
$menu= $modx->newObject('modMenu');
$menu->fromArray(array(
    'text' => 'icposts',
    'parent' => 'components',
    'description' => 'icposts.desc',
    'icon' => '',
    'menuindex' => 0,
    'params' => '',
    'handler' => '',
),'',true,true);

$action2= $modx->newObject('modAction');
$action2->fromArray(array(
    'id' => 2,
    'namespace' => 'icposts',
    'parent' => 1,
    'controller' => 'post_controllers/add',
    'haslayout' => true,
    'lang_topics' => icposts:default',
    'assets' => '',
),'',true,true);
 
$menu2= $modx->newObject('modMenu');
$menu2->fromArray(array(
    'text' => 'icposts.post_create',
    'parent' => 'icposts',
    'description' => 'icposts.post_create_desc',
    'icon' => '',
    'menuindex' => 1,
    'params' => '&action=add',
    'handler' => '',
),'',true,true);

$menu->addOne($action);
$menu2->addOne($action2);


$menus[]=$menu;
$menus[]=$menu2;


unset($menu);
unset($menu2);
 
return $menus;

and the build.transporter.php

/* load menu */
$modx->log(modX::LOG_LEVEL_INFO,'Packaging in menu...');
$menus = include $sources['data'].'transport.menu.php';
if (empty($menus)) $modx->log(modX::LOG_LEVEL_ERROR,'Could not package in menu.');

foreach($menus as $menu)	{

	$vehicle= $builder->createVehicle($menu,array (
	    xPDOTransport::PRESERVE_KEYS => true,
	    xPDOTransport::UPDATE_OBJECT => true,
	    xPDOTransport::UNIQUE_KEY => 'text',
	    xPDOTransport::RELATED_OBJECTS => true,
	    xPDOTransport::RELATED_OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES => array (
	        'Action' => array (
	            xPDOTransport::PRESERVE_KEYS => false,
	            xPDOTransport::UPDATE_OBJECT => true,
	            xPDOTransport::UNIQUE_KEY => array ('namespace','controller'),
	        ),
	    ),
	));
	
	$builder->putVehicle($vehicle);
	
	//unset($vehicle,$menu);
	
}

$modx->log(modX::LOG_LEVEL_INFO,'Adding in PHP resolvers...');
$vehicle->resolve('php',array(
    'source' => $sources['resolvers'] . 'resolve.tables.php',
));

$builder->putVehicle($vehicle);

when I install the package, the menu gets added, but the action is not for the second action '$action2', but it's inside the database, and the forms work fine, but still I can't see the action under the namespace in the MODx manager.

and also, is this a good way to do the sub-menus and multiple menus for an extra.

Thanks in advance

I think you need this in your resolver:

$menu->save();
$menu2->save();

Thanks BobRay for the reply

These save statements gave me many errors after adding them into the transporter.menu.php:

You said that I have to add them into the resolver, but I have only one resolver, which is the one to create the tables. Is that possible to add the two statements there?

Thx
