Website addon management
Posted: Sat Feb 09, 2013 10:26 pm
There's no forum for te4.org website requests/suggestions, but I figure this is close when it's ToME 4 addon related. So, here's two.
First, addon tag editing. When a user edits their addon it pulls the name, description, etc. and lets them edit those, but the tags field is left blank. Any tags put into that field are added to the list and can never be removed. The tags could be easily changed or removed if the field were to be populated with the current tags list. When any changes were applied, the tags could be replaced completely, just like the other fields.
Second, a download counter. Files posted to the forums show how many times they've been downloaded. I use this number to help determine if I should spend time improving an addon or just let it die. It's a useful indicator of interest and popularity. A download count for the main site's addons would accomplish much the same.
Please?
