Enhanced package manager

[Hambil]

I was working on an enhanced package manager, but I've stopped until they get their act together at SMF. However, I might start again and post it here.

The idea is, it will attempt to apply the mod to every theme, and give you test results with success failure broken down by theme. You can them check the themes you wish to apply the mod too.

For a failure result, you can also click on 'fix' and it will bring up a view of the file, and what is being searched for within the file. You can then manually highlight the code you wish to use in place of what is being searched for, and click 'submit'.

The mod remembers your choice for uninstall.

That is a great idea something I have myself thought about doing. It would save a lot of people time and mod authors a lot of support questions to answer.

What if I create a server, and give the user the option to send and receive info from the server automatically. Then, when someone 'fixes' a mod for a theme it automatically updates a database on the server. And when someone installs a hack, if it can find a solution in the server database for that theme it uses it instead of asking them to fix it.

This way, the Enhanced Package Manager will grow in power as people use it.

You can go on with the what if questions but I recommend just doing it.

Any updates this would be awesome!
