Some suggestions

Post by SHRIKEE »

Hi there

Ive just thought of some things

- a options to mass delete photos in the media library.
Can be done by adding a box to each image and a buton "delete all selected"

- when uploading an image a thumbnail is created automatically.
Maybe its nice to make this optional? Ive just uploaded 2 small images which require no thumbnail. For me its no problem here as i got 30gb of webspace but i can imagine alot of people with something as 10mb would not be to happy to have those unused images wandering around in the folders.

- redirect pages
When deleteing a image it shows a confirmation page telling us the image is indeed removed. Nice. but after a second it could be redirecting to the media library again. It can speed things up a little. Or better, show no confirmation at all and redirect instantly to the library again. I mean, if the code works we dont need no confirmation... and it will dramatically increase speed if we need to delete like 20 or more images ;)

- When loggin in on the admin panel, be it as user or admin. We see the sidebar with our options and a line 'Welcome back, <user>'
Some people like stats alot. Why not show them in this empty frontpage?
post count, personal postcount, latest additions to the site, maybe a visit count, articles, latest 10 articles... just to name some items that could be shown.

Hi!

Those are all great additions/feature requests. I just added them to our SF.Net feature tracker and try to implement it as soon as I find some time.

This has in fact been addressed in the past, and we did want to develop this but never really got down to it. In the 1.1 version we now have a linkbox there for "Further Links" and we'll try to put more info there.

The problem is that some statistics like visit count and so on is only available when certain plugins are installed...

Best regards,
Garvin
