very useful module of course :-)

noticed one little thing (and maybe i just didn't see it)... but with DAM working so well i never go to the administration page any more. I did today by accident and noticed the Notice box saying:

One or more problems were detected with your Drupal installation. Check the status report for more information.

which is a great notice to have show up as i'm doing my work.

made me think a new feature could be:

when there is a notice like this to display an icon on the DAM bar. Say maybe a redbox with a white exclamation mark next to the current users icons.

of course this is far from critical... just thought i'de mention it.
cheers

Title: Check your status report notification. » Add status report/update status warnings as icon(s)

Hm. Yes, sounds reasonable, and I like the idea in general.

However, we'd have to find a way to grab those messages and turn them into menu links on the fly. Also, this should not affect performance in a negative way... so plenty of stuff to account for - if someone writes a patch, I'd be happy to review.

well one of these days I'm gonna get around to teaching myself how to make modules/patches etc ... and will give it a go if it's still kicking around to do. :-) but could be quite a while :) ...

agree about the performance .. wouldn't want to bog it down.

You want to make sure that admin menu doesn't cause the Status Report to run with every page load. Maybe you could run Status Report on each cron and cache the result.

Brilliant Idea! We are already used to seeing a health/status on some sites, why not for us admins :)

Hopefully, somebody can pick this up someday, please.

I could be wrong, but I seriously doubt the module maintainers will implement this feature request as it's already been ten years since it was first proposed. Fundamentally, it adds unnecessary "weight" to the module and would find a better home as an additional contributed module (i.e. admin_menu_status).
