      Great to hear that, let's hope this makes it somehow into the core!

      Mmh, didn't really think about a donate button =D, just starting to release extras in the near future...but if you really feel like (there's really no need to, regarding what you have done for MODX!) my paypal address is "biz at 031.be" =)

      you do not eventually have access to an old PHP 5.1.2 and Windows environment to test the new unpack functionality (which actually also works for other archives now, tested with .zip, .tar, .tar.gz, tgz, .bz2, .tbz2 and .bzip2)?
      • Um... well, I do have Parallels, haven't set it up for development, just for testing IE and running a couple of quilt pattern design applications.

        I've really got to get laundry folded and dishes washed - which I suppose clearly demonstrates how much I look forward to setting up a development environment in Windows!

        No, wait a minute... MAMP has a beta of a Windows version! But I really should get the laundry folded and the dishes washed before the ants carry me off...

        • I keep forgetting. The whole reason I got Parallels and Windows was for PowerMapper and SortSite. So if you have any sites you'd like to have mapped and/or analyzed, let me know. It's pretty neat.

          • Well, that was a bust. Got MAMP installed (a bit buggy, but then it is a beta), and started to install MODX. Got as far as testing the database connection, and the charset and collation dropdowns aren't populated. Creating a database to use doesn't help. I have detested Windows for 20 years. It's OK, unless you want to do something with it.

              yap, that's why I have a Mac too =)...don't make yourself too much trouble, isn't worth it probably!
              • I think it's IE 9. I'll see about upgrading to 11. Some other time.

                  • It's already a pull request.

                    It still needs to be tested in a windows environment.

                      depends on what you want =), if you wanna try it out, you can install the transport package (manually upload to core/packages/, then search loacally in your package manager) from my post below, if you find some bugs or problems, github PR https://github.com/modxcms/revolution/pull/11352 is where they would find attention =)!
