Group Installs

It's a good idea, but I don't think it's worth all the coding etc. it will need, to edit the install system to perform such a thing.

[KTBleeding]

Maybe not. Maybe there would be a way where we would be able to enter our own prefix for installed hacks? I don't see how that would take too much time to code, but I'm not too advanced in php.

This would require the admins to completely recode the design of the system. First you would have to allow mutiable clicks for the "install button".

To make matters harder, they would have to create some sort of filing system with folders and such. Each folder would contain all the hacks install for that folder name. Example would be naming a folder your first website. Then when you click the install button, you would have to choose which folder this install will go into. And to uninstall a hack you would have to go into your folder to do so.

To stop abuse mutiable clicks for the 'install button' would only record one to the amount of installs. That way members don't create folders and click install to get there install count higher.

As you can see, that would be a ideal way of doing things and would require a lot of time, debugging, and patients.

An extra textbox field so each user can post their own notes about the hack is enough.

Wasn't there a 'notes' addon installed here a few years ago?
hmm, maybe it was another site ...

Anyway, I think a 'notes' addon would be the best alternative.
A 'notes' addon could have many uses ...

1) Notes on coders
2) Notes on installs
3) Notes on codes
4) Notes on text that you find yourself repeating.
etc.

What if more then 1 admin of a site have access here, and they are all installing hacks?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Edit: Best would be to keep a thread in the admin forum of your board with links to all hacks you installed.

This was something I wanted to see since I run multiple sites but as I didn't think it would happen, I just started to keep the info in excel with the url and description.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

If you are the only admin installing hacks, you can keep it in an excel sheet yes.
