Themeforest MODX Theme

Hello
I would like to create a Themeforest MODX Theme.
Where should I start?
Do you have any tutorial?

Hi macrapong,

Jay wrote a blog with links to tutorials, the tools needed and the steps to getting set up for Themeforest MODX Themes: http://modx.com/blog/2014/03/19/envatos-most-wanted/

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Tom

Thank you so much! I have a few questions:
Submission Requirements

• All themes must be packaged using the Modx Theme Packager UI
  Where can I find Modx Theme Packager UI?
  
• Package Name, Version, and Release type are required fields during packaging.
  Where should I add this information?
  
• Submissions must include the generated .transport.zip file
  How can I generate it?
  
• The generated filename must not be modified in any way
  Ok!
• Theme must include all assets needed to generate the site, inside the assets/ folder
  Is it ok if I have all my assets at: asstes/themes/themename?

  You can download the zip file from https://github.com/modxcms/ThemePackagerComponent/tree/develop/_packages. If you're new to MODX, these zip files need to go into your /core/packages directory and then are installed using package manager.
  
• Package Name, Version, and Release type are required fields during packaging.
  Where should I add this information?
  Once you've installed the package (and refreshed the manager page), you'll see the Components menu item. These items are entered here.
  
• Submissions must include the generated .transport.zip file
  How can I generate it?
  On the same page above, there's a button "Export Transport Package" which should create this for you.
  
• The generated filename must not be modified in any way
  Ok!
• Theme must include all assets needed to generate the site, inside the assets/ folder
  Is it ok if I have all my assets at: asstes/themes/themename?I honestly don't know, but you can add a comment to the blog post and Jay will answer back. I would guess yes, but I wouldn't want you to lose out on your submission being counted just because I'm ignorant
  

Good luck!

Regards,
Tom

Thank you so much!
Do you know any video tutorial about Modx Theme Packager UI ?

Ok!
I downloaded the zip from your link, I installed the component.
I try Export Transport Package.
Now I have my exported zip named minimal-1.0-beta1.transport.zip Is it ok? 1.0 is my version?

I want to import this zip into a new MODX installation. How can I do this? Where I need to paste my zip? The zip is my template?

Place that zip file in core/packages/ folder, then goto Package Management. and follow the instructions in the image attached.

Regarding the location of files, from what I understand, the themes just need to live somewhere under /assets so assets/themes/themename is completely acceptable and one might even argue preferable.

I hope this helps.

Thanks!
