[webmin-devel] Hiding modules ...

[Martin M. <mar...@de...>]

Howdy,

Just saw the Announce of Webmin version 1.110 and would like to talk
about this ...

>* Added a feature to the Webmin Users module for automatically

Would it be possible to incorporate a "translation flag" into
Webmin/Usermin in order to see everything despite if a module is
usable on this or that particular distro?

WTCO suggests not to make this reachable via Webmin/Usermin itself,
but somewhere directly in the core "config" of Webmin/usermin as

<suggestion>
# Set this to 1 to see everything in Webmin/Usermin even if a module
# is not suitable for your distro (Zero by default).
# If set to 1 you MUST have created a separate Webmin/Usermin-User
# before, because you will actually see everything but you cannot do
# anything. All stuff will be emulated and no changes will be made to
# your system.

translate=3D1
transuser=3Dnetnerd
</suggestion>

What I am thinking about is that Webmin/Usermin consists of some
emulation, ie. hard-coded HTML within a "trans-lib.pl" which emulates
everything so that translators can actually see where single lings in
lang|ulang/XX are situated in order to have a chance to translate
modules which are not suitable for their system.

I know that this is (maybe) not trivial, but if this would be possible
I think it would be loved (at least by myself).


kind regards
