[QUOTE="r_a_s_robin, post: 360591, member: 64146"] The MP Plugins-Skins Installer should be part of the deploy tool! Some other idea: Can't the MPI Downloadmanager be something online instead of a program on your own computer? At this moment the plugin/skin overview on the team-mediaportal website ****. [I][COLOR="Red"]**edited by infinityloop - constructive criticism is okay but watch your words**[/COLOR][/I] Anyway, when it can be improved it could be able to forfill the functions of the MPI Downloadmanager. This way alle the work does not have to be done twice. Because we definately need a better online overview in my opinion. Improvements suggested for the plugins and skin pages on team-mediaportal.com: - Give every plugin/skin a 'homepage' - with version history - link to the forum thread (maybe include it into the page) - downloadlink to the latest MPI. - Show the compatible MP versions and skins. (if it's a skinpage show the compatible plugins). - Don't create new pages every time an update is released !! Just update the current page. - Nice (bigger) screenshots. Don't send someone to the forum to see screenshots! - Plugin Manual! Don't send someone to the forum for the manual! - Show if you're using the plugin already and whether you should update because of a newer version - Make it easy to look for skins/plugins matching your current skins/plugins: Select MP version --> select skin --> select categorie --> show available plugins! (top 10 most downloaded, best rated) [B]With a good online MPI overview, the MPI Downloadmanager is unnecessary![/B] And like Harley said: People will return to the website and connect with the community [/QUOTE]
