Re: User Administration Question (Jamie Cameron)

[Joe C. <jo...@sw...>]

This has been asked about probably 5 times in the past two weeks, and 
it's silly to keep asking it.

The answer was (and will remain, as far as I know) that it will not be 
added because popups are bad user interface design.  Annoying and confusing.

Adding a popup yourself is a matter of modifying the last line of the 
'save' module in question to point to a different redirect function that 
knows to popup a confirmation using javascript.

A better idea: You could also modify the page so that it pauses before 
the redirect with a message regarding the user add.  Consult your 
favorite HTML and CGI programming guides for how to do this.  It's 
easier than you think, and worth learning.
