idea: Open Source Easy Add-Ons Install Tools

[epit]

Hi, I use zencart sevral months, however, it is too difficult to install plugins for who are not good at programming. We have to know some knowledge in advance such Mysql, FTP and so on.

It is too waste of time when we install plugins. Are you agree with me?

Therefore, I want developt a opensource Plugin (add-ons) install tool for zencart, which can automatically install add-ons.

You are telling us you know nothing about installing plugins... but you are embarking on a project to develop a plugin installer.

Or are you asking that someone does this for you?

It will be cheaper for you to just hire someone to install plugins for you... Most of them take about 3 minutes to install.

My idea can be described like this:


Any shop managers can easily install plugins(add-ons) without any knowledge in advance.

Such kind of opensource plugin install tools for zencart may be useful for who are not good at computer technology.

Are you agree with me? ^_^

I started out with zero knowledge, and I never had problems... and I'm not the sharpest pencil in the box.

The opensource Plugin Install Tool written in PHP, and can be embedded in zencart. :

The main logic can be described like this:



Or like this:

Is anybody agree with me?

It would be nice... Wordpress has an easy installer.

But who is going to develop it?

hello schoolboy, is it possible to find some personal here in order to develop it together?

It might be difficult job required programming from gound up. However, I believe, if we do, it will be possible.

If anybody is agree with this idea too, we could join together .

Anyway, I will do first step for this opensource Plugin Install Tool alone from now on.
