I would like to suggest these improvements to PHPRunner next edition:
- Once Build is pressed and completed the window that Says "Your project was built successfully" and has the buttons to look at the Output on the local browser, or to PUBLISH Via FTP disappears and does not return if the user decides to check any other view first, such as to verify the Output folder. The only way to get back the Option of Looking at the output project or FTP publishing is to select BUILD all over again! This page should STAY AVAILABLE.
- The OUTPUT PAGE OPTIONS should be integrated with the FTP PUBLISH options because you cannot do one without the other I have discovered.
If I have the Output set up to DEFAULT (localhost machine in my case) the BUILD is made expecting to use the local host. However, if I HAVE built the project and the "Server database connection" is set on default, instead of on my FTP and remote online database connection, it does not matter if I select FTP upload and use my Online connection script. I will not be able to connect online until I go BACK to the OUTPUT page and select the Online connection first and then BUILD and then go FTP.
I know for experienced users and the program authors this is like a no-brainer but I am pointing out that the program does not specifically point out by its intuitive design that if you are wishing to change gears and load files to your ONLINE server that the steps are 1. change connection in the Output first.... 2. then Build.... 3. now go FTP and select that ONLINE definition again before the FTP.
I suggest putting the OUTPUT page with the different CONNECTION settings and the FTP upload options together into one step-by-step panel since one depends on the other.
