Newest Support Documentation for CB Package Builder

Enable debug mode and maximum error reporting then retry and provide the callstack for the error. Attempted to replicate in my test environments, but am not seeing any errors in my tests.Additional questions associated with the "Type" setting when setting-up packages.
None of my downloads are associated with Joomla, so I'm using the "Custom" type when setting up packages.
I'm also specifying both a custom Type and a custom Sub-Type.
First issue, I'm having problems displaying the files of these Types and Sub-Types via a menu item.
So, for example, if I have two download files, each with the same Type but different Sub-Types, and then I set up a menu item to show both of these files by selecting the Type and then also selecting the two Sub-Types simultaneously in the CB Package Builder Plugin menu item, I receive the error below.
"0 in_array(): Argument #2 ($haystack) must be of type array, null given"
Essentially it looks like I can't select two Sub-Types simultaneously when displaying downloads via a menu item. I believe this is also the case if I attempt to select multiple Types simultaneously as well.
JHM 2023-01-11: I've got 2 package downloads. Both with a custom Type of "Biotech", and one with Sub-Type "CRISPR", the other with Sub-Type "DrugDev". I'm attempting to display both of these via a menu item using the CB Package Builder plugin and the selection of the "Biotech" Type and both Sub-Types (see attached image MultiSubTypesSelectedInMenuDisplay.jpg). The callstack error is attached as image CallStackErrorWithMenuMultiSubTypes.jpg.
I assume you mean the CMS selector? Within CB > Package Builder > Parameters > CMS create a custom CMS option there. Example as follows.Second issue, when I'm able to get the menu item to show the list of downloads (by specifying the same Type and Sub-Type), and then I click on one of the download files to get to the details page, the details page defaults to showing the Joomla compatible versions, even though I've attempted to disable any indication of Joomla version. It almost looks like I'd need to design a custom details display template to get rid of the Joomla version indication.
Value: custom
Label: Custom
Now assign all your packages to it. Next within CB > Package Builder > Parameters > Packages and CB > Package Builder > Parameters > Presets set "CMS" to "Disable" and "Default CMS" to "Custom". That should deal with suppressing the display of the CMS selector. Additionally within CB > Package Builder > Parameters > Global I recommend setting "Bundle Type" to "ZIP" so it never can package a Joomla installer.
JHM 2023-01-11: Thank you. Yes, your notes above fixed the details display issue. The key was creating the custom CMS option.
There is a bug with the type icons not showing custom types though and defaulting to Document. Am fixing that bug as we speak. CB Package Builder is of course designed and meant for building Joomla packages, but it can certainly be much more than that and will make whatever changes are necessary to fit outside of that scope so please do let me know what issues you run into in that regard.
JHM 2023-01-11: Yes, I fully understand that the CB Package Builder was designed for Joomla downloads. But as long as I can navigate around the Joomla CMS specification issues, I think this will work perfectly with my custom zip file downloads as well. Thanks for your help.
