We talked about this a long, long time ago. It sounds terrific, but the implementation details are complex. There is a very high likelihood that the default file permissions for a user's docroot would not permit the Habari installer file to create new files and directories, which means the user would need to change permissions manually. At that point, they need an FTP client, or shell access, or a control panel, and we're back to a complicated set of instructions. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/habari-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
