Feature request.

Post by sgn »

First of all: ZM is wicked! The world owes you bigtime, Coombes :)

I do, however, have a few feature requests:

1: Users should be able to change their own password.
2: ZM should be able to move archived events to a different location.
3: Perhaps storing events/images in the DB would improve performance.

Hi,

Thanks for the compliment and suggestions.

1) I think this is probably a good idea.
2) This may work also, ideally I'd want to avoid moving large chunks of files around but I'll see if it's easy to implement.
3) It's possible, and might be worth a try. The disadvantages though are (a) if your DB goes down it's goodbye to everything and (b) uploading images etc would be harder, but not impossible. I'll bear this one in mind.

Cheers,

Phil,

The usual problem with puting big data blocks (like images) into a DB is that you end up with monumentally huge database files, and that very often cripples the performance.
