show some more information in admininterface

Post by MountainVision »

I think it wouldn't be a big thing to add this features.

It would be nice to show some more information in the Overviews:
  • Domains -> MyDomain -> Event Manager -> FTP Events
    show on each event if there is something executed (only yes or no) that I can see directly where I added a script and where not
  • Domains -> MyDomain -> Users
    For me it would be usefull to have a status-column (account enabled/disabled/expired) and a column with the group and maybe a column with the diskquota
    I think some more information would be usefull for others too
    Another point in the users overview is, if I sort the userlist it's case-sensitive, I would prefer if it isn't...
If you can change this, it would be nice... otherwise it's not that tragically
Thank you very much

Your suggestions sound reasonable! I can change all of them like you said except user column, because from the standpoint of technology, all the user accounts are stored by seperated xml files(default), and the filename is the username. So when we are requesting user list, it just collects all the filenames, it is very fast and effective, especially in thousands of user accounts. If we add some columns as you said, it must open every xml files and load the users in, it is terrible with the loading time.

Can you understand what I said? :)

of course.... no problem
if you change the sorting of the user-accounts, perhaps you can sort the list by default?
thanks for the answer

Hello,

We are also interrested with the account status column.

The Corporate edition allow user accounts to be stored in databases (odbc, MySql).
In this case there will be no xml file access limitation.

Thank you for your work to make wftpserver better and better.

I have to 2nd or is it 3rd the request for more info related to the users as already mentioned. Also, it would be equally good to be able to see the users that are part of a group as well. Perhaps there can be a setting to turn this on or off, with a warning saying turning on the extra details could slow down the display of users and groups.

I also don't see (unless I'm missing it) a way to turn off the remember me check box on the main login screen. It would be nice to be able to turn this off.

1. Which fields (columns) would you like for listing? We will consider your request, though it is hard to balance.

2. Remember option is depended on you, you can check on it or check off it. If you want to hide it, you just need to modify html file "webclient/login.html".

1. I'm thinking these would be nice to see if nothing else: account enabled/disabled, expired (if enabled) and a column with the group(s) the user is part of. It would also be nice when editing the groups, that you can see what users are part of the group(s).

2. I can edit the HTML, not really an issue. Just thought it might not be a bad thing to evidentially add to the GUI as not everyone may want that check box seen/available.

OK, I see. If you want to see what users are part of the group, you can select a group from "Group" drop down list.

If you go into/edit the group. None of the tabs show what users are part of that gorup.

Yes, I know, its our design. I suggest you select "Group" drop down list to show userlist, it is easy to use.
