Marketplace No Update Feature
Suggestions
There are many reasons why I can see this useful. If you've had to modify your Jamroom and don't want it to update those files but continue to keep relevant with all others.
For example on my system I had to modify the jrAudio module and re wrote it to work with my website. Others have asked for my mod on their website. The latest update is irrelevant and not needed in this case.
But If it was I can not update my module mod with out going in and having to change over every line of code Ive added to the update so I avoid this and check the log to see if the update is relevant and worth my time.
I can see others modifying Jamroom modules to work for their website and also running in to this situation not wanting to update specific modules unless chosen.
I think that it would be an excellent idea to have an option to check a box on any module you don't want to update and its safe from getting overwritten. Then it would be safe for me to just to "update all" modules on my system.
I can also see this feature coming in handy for folks who have modified their skins and are wanting to update all the other modules but do not want to update their skin unless that is chosen.
I can see how this could benefit a lot of people.
Also this brought me to thinking about mods. Could in the future developers submit mods with functionality to a "Jamroom mod files location". where we can offer people the option to install our mod if they own a copy of the original?
And if the mod is installed it wont update with the original but looks for the latest mod update? Im not sure if that is something you want to entertain but I can see developers being able to spin creative ideas, functionality and modifications to a lot of pre existing modules so that an end user with less experience in coding can install a mod built to function as their website needs... Thanks.
