Hey guys,
I have began working with this CMS more and more and with the
release of a plug-in system, I have a few request. I may just be
missing these but thought I would post it anyway!
My Problem:
A plug-in system is a great feature to add to this CMS but what
good does it do if you can not enable and disable plug-ins in
certain pages.
Example: I have a client who would like to display a calendar only
on the calendar page. Well I can add the plug-in call when developing
the theme, but that would put the calendar on every page. Well, I will
add an if statement to say only if the page name is calendar. Then my
client goes off and delete the calendar page and creates a page called
2010 calendar. Humm.. now they are required to call me and have me
change the code to fit the new page name... Yes I understand they
should just leave it alone but you have to remember they are not the
most tech savie people, and really have no clue what they are doing.
Proposal: Within the page options all a person to say what type of a page
this is, for say: I am creating a calendar page, then I would click a drop
down and select calendar; then I would be able to finish setting the options.
Also, when I have selected a page type it should display the settings for that
plug-in instead of the CKEditor. This would allow clients to easily add plug-ins to
a certain page.
My 2nd Problem:
Once again a plug-in system is a great feature to add to this CMS but what
good does it do if you can not install new plug-ins without an FTP program,
clients should be able to add plug-ins the same as a developers.
My 2nd Example: I have a client who is pretty tech savie, he wants to add a
poll to his site, so he visits a plug-in website (Witch we also need) and
downloads the poll plug-in (witch we also need) and then he has to login to
his FTP and find the plug-in folder and upload the new plug-in.
My 2nd Proposal: Within the plug-ins page add a upload box to enable clients
or developers to easily upload files to the plug-ins directory. It would also
be nice if you would add a feature where they could upload the zip folder they
got when downloading the plug-in and GetSimple would automatically un-zip
the file and find the needed contents and upload them to the server to the plug-ing
folder.
