As Kirby explained to me:

Enable Debug Mode, go to ACP / Plugin System / Manage Product and create a new Protuct.
Then when you create Phrases, Templates, etc. make sure you select this Product.
When you are finished, go to ACP / Plugin System 7 Manage Product and select Export from the Dropdown.

This will create an XML with all the Plugins, Phrases, etc. used by your Hack.
The User can then just import this Product and everything will be installed.

Hope this helps.

I don't think file edits will completely go away right away. As the plug-in system grows and gets refined, there will be less and less need for file edits on most hacks. It will take some time, I'm sure, but think of the ride getting there!

I think most actively supported Hacks will convert to Plugins as far as possible.
Although the Plugin System drastically cuts down the need for File Edits, there will always be things that can't be done with Plugins.

Zach, I think it's case-sensitive as this doesn't work for me - $config['Misc']['debug'] = 1; does.

How very cool. The plugin installer is essentially a "hack" installer built-in.

Kind of blows the HTL away, doesn't it?
