Action file for MODX Evo/Clipper module that generates installer-style TPL files for snippets, chunks and other elements. The module itself (copy makeInstall.module.php into a new Module in the Manager) must set $exportDir and include makeInstall.php Generally works well, but needs something to allow for empty comment fields; for Evo, add an @in…
