You are one of the best developers in this section. You actually listen to your users ideas unlike the guys on Rz, especially Jonty who said he was taking on suggestions for 'ubercms 2' and didnt implement more than maybe 2 of them, and also I believe he has stopped work for now anyway. Kryptos...
Maybe have the hotel owner define a master password in the install script. That way the password is only made once, and cannot be changed because the install script should be deleted after setup. This password could then also be used for other delicate housekeeping operations.
If that doesn't...
I particularly like the idea of a ticket system and the admin and mod login in maintenance.
As for ideas, erm, maybe a little box on the homepage that can be edited from housekeeping for convenience. I'd use it as sort of a CMS welcome message to notify users of problems/bugs before they...
Here's a suggestion: Little alerts or messages on the user's homepage which can be dismissed when they've read them. They'd be sent from housekeeping, and stored in the db until the user dismisses the message. Kinda like the site alert function in PHPretro.
It's just a small feature and only...
I'd say either give them to rank 7+ or maybe implement the pin code system mentioned earlier, so the hotel founder can decide who gets the use of this tool regardless of rank, by simply telling them the pincode.
But that might get confusing if you use the pincode else where, but it's just an...
In my opinion though it would be a lot easier for sending gifts to multiple recipients such as in mass events or quests, and also sending hotel wide gifts for events such as say, christmas, or the hotel's birthday.
That was supposed to be the focus of my idea, the mass gift bit, sorry it...
In the housekeeping I'd love a gift sender, ie: you choose the furniture you want to give to someone and it gets wrapped and put in the target user(s) inventory. This is ideal as it's a pain gifting a user furniture from the staff cata, for example, when it's all in bulk. Also, I like the way...
Hope it's not too late, but I came up with a few ideas...
1) Staff override on the maintenance page
2) A Global gift system in housekeeping, ie: you choose an item and it is given to each and every user in gift form, (probably takes a while but I'd say it's worth it.)
3) Working room links...
