Alternative Network Settings for Test Server

[johngwms]

I want to be able to test my site on a local apache server.

To do this it would save a lot of time and effort if it were possible to specify two different sets of network server settings.

It only takes a few seconds to import new settings, you can also export your existing settings, just put them into a text file as you can with your alternative settings. It really is a quick change. Import and export buttons in network settings are your friend.

true, Lee but it would be nice to have direct access to a 'list' of network settings rather than doing the export/import thing.
I'll add my vote to this.

Am I missing something here but whats wrong with the inbuilt test site

[leehack]

It's a feature that would hardly ever be used though surely, even if they are defined in actinic, you'd still have to choose them from the list. That is only a couple of seconds quicker than locating a network settings file i'd have thought.

Its not something Ive ever wanted TBH

[TraceyHand]

I think this is supposed to be a 'wish list suggestions' forum, NOT an 'I don't want this' forum

[RuralWeb]

NO - its for people to post an idea and others to vote ie yes or no. Otherwise how will actinic know what users want the most.

You can vote YES or NO to a posted wish.

[TraceyHand]

so do you think the deduct a yes for every no posted then?

so do you think the deduct a yes for every no posted then

I hope they do otherwise how will they know what people really want.

500 people vote yes = it gets added to the software
1 yes & 499 no = it does not get added

[TraceyHand]

that's a pretty lame example because one vote wouldn't get something added anyway, would it?

[RuralWeb]

You just out for an argument today or what - all I said was people can vote yes or no to a posted wish, so what point are you trying to make. That every single idea on the wish list should be added to the software - that too is a lame idea IMO.

When the wish list was first started the whole idea was that a person came up with and idea and others could discuss it and vote if they would like it added to the software. Actinic towers could then get an idea of what thier customers wanted to see added and how many of them would be interested in having it added.

On this thread an idea was posted I asked for clarification and then said that it was not something I would use. So we have two votes for adding it and two votes for not adding it = the idea is not added (or if actinic think its good then they can still add it) its called democracy

sure. Why not?
Cold, dark Sundays are SO boring. Just thought I'd liven it up a bit
