Just had to chime in here being that we just got over the install hump - we are beta testing the MPA2 backend now. This is (in my opinion) the best outa the box backend you can get. We are very pleased with the outcome so far and any improvements on Mansions part would be gravy. If any of you guys have thought about picking this product up... DO IT!
Stop shopping around - this one is the bomb, really easy to set up - run and roll with.
Here are a few MPA Suggestions -
1 - Text area based template editors inside the admin panel for all MPA pages. This way you can really customize the look of this bad boy without extra programming.
2 - Checkbox/cookie so webmasters and admins don't have to login each time.
3 - Linking code admin features to support multiple tours including alternate tours and console free tours.
(ARS does this nicely via radio buttons). We got this feature rolling on our own but for others without much php knowledge - this is a must.
4 - Detailed help files for all features on the admin and affiliate side of the program to just plug in if need be.
5 - Admin option to set the minimum payout
6 - It would be nice to have variables to use that would be populated w/ data by the script. Example - to display a small table showing today's stats on the main page when a webmaster logs in.
7 - A hosted gallery feature for people like us that DO NOT use the same templates over and over. We make brand new custom galleries every week.
8 - Some more custom quarry features in the programs admin like partners with top clicks, stuff like that.
9 - Integer ad tracking for in-house campaigns.
Those are some basics, we could come up with a lot more but we need to play w/ it and think about it more for sure.
GrimShawn - had some smokn hot idea's - good calls man ;)
