Can I start a 'wish list' of feature for CMPS 2.x? :D

If I'm not explaining myself clearly let me know and I'll try to re-word it. :)

For modules that call an external script, such as the Google JS script for Adsense or something like the Twisted History JS script, I'm finding myself creating templates with only one line difference between them. My 'wish list' item would be able have a new field in the CMPS control panel on the 'Edit Modules" section where a variable could be passed in to the template. In the case of the Google and Twisted History examples neither one required a module and the only difference between them was the script tag -- It'd be pretty cool to be able to place the script command in a variable field in the module properties that then would get passed in to the template. That way when ever somebody needs a new module that is just calling a different script then they could re-use the same template over & over again but just pass in a different string.

In my example above I'm using some javascript examples of the string to be passed in but I could picture it being useful for other purposes as well where a string variable was able to be passed in to the template.

Well, that builds somewhat on my idea. That is to have a couple of fields for modules. Let's say you want to add a new module...

you enter the module name, module title (displayed at the top of the module, like they are now), title link URL, and the content. CMPS just plugs that into a module "template" that includes all the basic styling. We wouldn't have to create a seperate template that includes the whole table layout any more. Just the data itself.

Oh - and get rid of the need for that trailing <br /> on each module! (I know, this can be done via CSS, but....)

Collapsible modules by default. And a method to store the state of those modules (collapsed, expanded, etc) for each user. And the ability to set a default state (I know that's been a request around here).

In AdminCP:
easier way of specifying forumids, newsforumids, pollsid, calendarid, etc. Show us a list of the forums and let us check a box. While this really isn't TERRIBLY annoying, it would be nice.

Building on my list....

Instead of a "Display Order" text field, put up & down arrows so that we can move modules in the Edit Modules page of AdminCP. Just like the left & right arrows for switching columns.

Select All/Clear All feature for the Usergroups section.

Prepopulate the "Template to Include" with a pulldown of all of the templates that start with "adv_portal_"
