Topic : Add a personal note field for admin

Posted By: jjds on December 4, 2014, 11:02 pm

I would love to have some way to keep notes for tracking why I chose not to enable a particular script or at least a way to discern which are new scripts vs old scripts not installed.

On the Software->General Scripts page:
/cgi/softaculous/index.php?act=softwares

I have to pull out my notes each time or try and remember which I already scrutinized and rejected. Currently:
- Highlighting tells me which ones can be updated - That's GOOD! Of these:
A) Version numbers in both columns - tells me already installed and I need to update it - THAT's GOOD!
B) Version number only in second column ... I can not tell if these are old ones I have seen and chosen not to enable or brand new ones that I should investigate and possibly enable. *PROBLEM*

Could I suggest a different highlighting color for those which are new since I last did 'Update Settings' on this page? Or use bold type for brand new ones? Or a way to add a note for a script I rejected and on this page a small icon would appear that I could hover over to read my note. Or a way to indicate I have "disabled" and the entire row becomes grey (but still with same checkboxes so I can change my mind).

FYI,
Reasons we choose not to install some may be:

Policy (things like video hosting, file sharing, bulk email) we discourage
Too resource intensive for shared server small hosting accounts
Doesn't meet server requirements for PHP
Script has relatively few free features outweighed by too many upsell options

I'm sure we aren't the only ones who don't enable all.

Hi,

Thank you for the suggestion.
