Description

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

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.
