Feature request

  • First of all thank you for this awesome and stable working plugin. I use it a lot and wonder whether you might consider to add two features.

    1. What do you think about making the ‘Site ID’ form field a drop down menu containing all sites in a network to choose from instead of manually entering the site id while creating a new domain mapping on the network admin page?

    2. Add a new option to each domain mapping to select whether the domain has SSL or not (checkbox) and modify the ‘visit site’ link accordingly. As for now if your network setup is using SSL for secure administration of WordPress (wildcard ssl to protect the subdomains) but your mapped domains do not have SSL (and even point to another IP address listening only for port 80) the ‘visit site’ link will point to https://mappeddomain.xxx and therefore fail.

    Kind regards

    Michael

    Thanks for the suggestions ??

    What do you think about making the ‘Site ID’ form field a drop down menu containing all sites in a network to choose from instead of manually entering the site id while creating a new domain mapping on the network admin page?

    The limit on a dropdown is ~32K entries but realistically anything more than 100 is not a good UX.

    I was hoping that by this point domain mapping was going to be rolled in core WP but it looks like it’s going to be a few more WP versions before that is complete.

    Once I get out from under a couple other things I’m hoping to make a few improvements to that screen that will accomplish what you want but it won’t be exactly what you suggested.

    2. Add a new option to each domain mapping to select whether the domain has SSL or not (checkbox) and modify the ‘visit site’ link accordingly.

    The core team is currently doing some work on SSL so now wouldn’t be a good time for this in a plugin.

    Secondly, a feature like this should be part of core such that any individual site can be set to SSL (regardless of whether it is domain mapped or not).

    Ron, thank you for taking the time to respond. I cant agree more. All those features should have been in the core a long time ago. But as we all know developer resources are limited and as long as there are such awesome plugins like yours filling the gap the core team has no need to hurry ?? Keep up the good work and best luck for all your activities.
