I like that you can build the menu within phprunner. AND I really appreciate that you can add other pages from outside phprunner in your menu. I am often creating pages outside of phprunner to accomplish certain things. It be nice if those pages had the same menu as is created in PHPRunner. Something that would be a huge help is if we could:
Have a blank page at the "choose pages" and a blank view at the "Datasource Table" (with no database tied to it). Reasons why:

  1. At "choose Pages", having this option, allows us to make a thank you or some special message. If we wanted we then can drop in database fields from the record created. Then only the person who has access to that page can see it. Blank page is in addition to the normal selections of list, add, edit, print, copy, delete and so on. You might still want them to see the list page and after they edit it goes to the blank page for special instructions or some note of thanks. I know you can create another view and then redirect them to the other view to try to accomplish this. It just be easier if you had a blank page option, that way everything is kept together, clean and secure.
  2. At "Datasource Table", this gives you the option to have a page that is not associated to any database, you might have instructions or special information that only certain people can see. Maybe you want your own special page with some normal verbiage (not from the database) and then drop in a snippet with information from SEVERAL other tables. Example would be a Status page. Or just a page with your own verbiage and no table information. With this allowed then you can set a security setting that only certain people can see this page. This is a way better option then having to create pages outside of phprunner and then have to find a way to secure it. I know you can create a view of a table and then wipe out all the fields on the editor to work around this. But it be way better to just have that option up front then trying to work around it.
    I think those two options would allow a much more flexible and easy to use PHPRunner. Plus you have the same menu system on all your pages.
    Thanks for reading,
