Hi All,
I recently deleted all my mods by accident. I have registrations on alot of mods/plugin sites and have hell loads of mods to redownload... but i need a way to organise them.
Does anyone have any idea on how I can organise my mods? When i had alot of mods/plugins it was so unorganised and confising.
Thanks for any constructive ideas x]

in the plugin file, the author puts an "order" for the plugin setting group. This determines their order. Many plugin authors put 1 so all of the ones get sorted alphabetically I think.
If you want to rearrabge them, you would have to edit the plugin files
I do not mean on the forum, which is what I think you are relating to, (sorry for not making it clear in my first post), I mean where I store all the plugin files on my hard drive

Store them in folders XD
Plain folders is too unorganised. I am talking hundreds of mods. I cannot include info like where the mod came from (Ie link to mods database page) in the folder name.

Make a folder then make a new .txt file with all the info in it?
Just before you said that, I am thinking of making an excel speadsheet, with this format:
Plugin ID | Plugin Name | Plugin Description | Plugin Frontend Location | Plugin Backend Location | Plugin Activity | Plugin Version | Forum Version | Plugin Link | Plugin Status | Category
Example:
100 | Advert Manager | Manages Adverts | Header and Postbit | Templates and Style > AdMan | Actively Updated | 1.0 | For 1.6 |
http://plugins.net/admanager.php | Active on Sites 1 and 3, Deactivated on Sites 2 and 4 | Forum Display
Then, In the excel file, There will be another sheet, With a list of all sites, The ID's of plugins on them, Usernames of moderators, and a few statistics information, Such as domain renewal date.
Who thinks that is a good idea?
Yes it would work great, just remember to hyperlink them to their directories!
It it works for you that's all that matters
. Most people don't have this issue to my knowledge.
