Description

The MODx Resource Wizard takes a specially packaged resource archive (snippet, module, tv, etc...) and installs it through an easy to use, point and click process. It also helps you create packages of your own resources for easy distribution and end user installation.

To install a resource.
MODx Resource Wizard packages should be zip files and named
something.modxpkg.zip

Not all developers will follow this naming convention, but hopefully most will.

Download a modxpkg file to your desktop (or get the demo pack with an assortment of resources from the MODx Resource Wizard Extras),
and from the main screen of this module, at the form, select "Browse" and choose the modxpkg.

Select "Install this package".
If it is not a certified MODx Resource Wizard package, you will get an error and be prompted to the main menu.
If everything checks out, you will be alerted to what is going to be installed, and if it is an existing resource, an alert will let you know that this resource will be upgraded and the old data will be overwritten.
Clicking Cancel will exit back to the main menu and remove the uploaded files from your server.
Clicking continue will install the package and the MODx Resource Wizard will display a help/info file if the author provided one.

Enjoy the module,

Dr. Scotty Delicious, Scientist.
