C5 Wish List
Permalink
Hi,
I am just completing my first C5 site and in general has been very impressed, after going through the mill on a few things I have put together a little wish list for future releases from the outcomes of this project:
1. Users set as administrators to be able to delete registered users
2. E-mail notifications as standard (I had to pay to get this working)
3. E-mail able to be sent to one or more administrators
4. Registration form - easier identification of elements for styling
5. Registration form - checkboxes (boolean) to show checkbox then label and not show the word Yes.
Cheers
Steve

Hi Steve,
Some of these things you can do:
1) Log in as the administrator, go to Dashboard -> Users and Groups, click the username of the account you wish to delete, then click the "Delete User Account" button at the bottom. The only account you cannot delete is the super admin I believe (the one that you start out with when the site is first installed).
2) I guess you mean email notifications about newly-registered users? (Notifications about forum submissions are built-in, but I don't think new-user-registrations are).
4) Check out this forum thread:http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/customizing_c5/updating_f...
(also note that there's a paid addon in the marketplace which does this if you'd rather spend the money than the time --http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/extended-form/... ).
5) I think item #4 would make this easy to do.

Also, see this thread in regards to implementing item #2 (not a perfect solution I know, but Andrew mentions they'll be adding this to the core system eventually):

i vote for pre-package-install options,
and
addfooteritem,
and
addfooteritem,
In reference to #1 - I also have the same request. Only super admin can delete other users - when you log in as an administrator and try to delete an account you will see "You must be logged in as admin to remove user accounts.". Would love to have this changed.
We all love c5 or we wouldn't be here. But of course there is room for improvement :-)
#1 on my list is form markup consistency. Sometimes there are br tags inserted, sometimes not. Ideally there wouldn't be any at all (accomplish that with CSS), but the inconsistency makes it a nightmare to style. Forms in general are trouble and the Extended Form block is a must-purchase. Unfortunately that doesn't help with the core forms (eg register, login) though.
I totally agree that the new registration notification needs attention. This is really a core feature that should be easy for a non-programmer to administrate (through the dashboard, not touching config/site.php or other files). With all the thoughtfulness in c5, it's amazing this feature hasn't been strongly implemented yet.
+1 on addFooterItem !!! In the meantime there is a nice hack here:http://www.onehat.com/blog/2010/03/concrete5-mod-moving-js-to-the-b...

Unless I am misunderstanding what you want, I believe there is now support in the core for registration notification in 5.4.1 although I haven't tested it yet.
There is a small blurb in the release notes and also here:

yes there is, you need to enable user approvals
Almost forgot: I'd love the ability to reorder custom Page attributes in the properties panel. We can reorder User attributes, which is great. The ability to reorder Page attributes would really open up the technique of having a bunch of custom attributes defining Page content.
+1 for addFooterItem as well! That would be a mega bonus on front end performance.
...Cool article by the way. I'll have to try that out.

All good items. We'll keep these in mind. thanks!
- A free forum or a free bridge to other forums.. I can not migrate from Drupal to Concrete without forum ability. And as it is a free project without earnings I do not want to pay 55 bugs for such a basic forum software :>
Hi Pinatz,
If you are willing to get your hands dirty with some php coding, it wouldn't be too hard to integrate Vanilla Forums into your site -- check out this thread:

-The ability to view more than 3 form submissions at one time (for those of us with lots of form submissions) would be super helpful. ALSO, the ability for different form notifications to come from different email addresses.
thanks everyone!
