Some minor config features
There are a couple of little options that might be really helpful to some types of communities.
Hey Bernard & Developers,
First of all, so far, loving YACS. There are minor issues i have with it - simply because i'm using it in a slightly odd way. But really, it's been nice. I also like that I'm not having to fudge with the code, a task which I am very limited at.
Ok, that said, something that would be helpful in my community - are some config options on the user directory. Users by alphabetical, Users by last login, Users by last update, Users by type/status (more an admin feature, but actually, sorting out the administrators on a seperate page if desired would be nice, with a short description of their role on the site/job) I don't really see this as a giant addition, but more a useful config option or view for that page.
Next, Personal spaces. I"m looking at having thousands of members with literally dozens of subsections in each of their personal spaces. My members have been most confused by the fact that they have to create their own personal space. I think when a member confirms, the option should be there for the personal space to be automagically created. Also, I think it'd be fantastic for the default on new content for a member to be their personal space.
Additionally, it might be helpful if when a member goes to create a page, only section where they author/own would be listed. As i'm having more and more sections on the site, members are increasingly confused where to put their stuff, and often unable to find their sections in the giant list. Generally, i just tell them to to to that page and add from there, but I think you can see my point.
Another thing, m4a audio files should be added to the supported audio formats i think, at least added to the default list of file-types supported and allowed. (I appreciated that you give us the ability to add as we go -- i'm merely pointing it out.
I would be interested in having favorites for my members. So that upon looking at something, they could add it to favorites, and them others might see what that person enjoys.
It might also be interesting for a person to be able to see what they've rated in the past (and even perhaps their ratings)
