one thing i love about the joomla is that the installation of their module is very easy and it works out the box just like the software install with mouse clicks. we need to use that in drupal.
The only simple, portable way I can think of for having self-installing web software is for the web server to have write access to the filesystem where my pages and code are stored. And that's a security risk in most hosted environments.
Is there some other way that I am not aware of which does not have such risks?
There are two: 1) bug the user to make the files writable and afterwards bu him again to undo it (the current CS installer does this) 2) store the code inside the database. :) Cheers, Gerhard
