Transport Packages
What is a Transport Package?
A Transport Package is a collection of objects and files that can be used to "transport" data from one MODx installation to another; or even to transport 3rd-Party Components in a simple, easily-manageable format.
Usage
Transport Packages can be managed in the Package Management section of the Revolution manager. They can be added to the Revolution instance by either:
- Uploading the file manually to core/packages/, and then clicking "Add New Package" and selecting the "Search Locally for Packages" option
- Downloading the package from a Transport Provider. This allows updates to be remotely downloaded for a package as well.
Once downloaded, they can be installed by right-clicking a package in the grid, and clicking Install. This will prompt the user to accept a License Agreement should the package come with one, and prompting to read the README should the package contain one. Then it will present a form with pre-installation options, which may or may not exist depending on the package. The user can then click 'Install' to install the package.
Once installed, the user can uninstall the package at any time. Also, if the package was downloaded from a Transport Provider, then the user can check for updates for the package.
