I've been in the situation several times where a customer with a lot of domain aliases released a new website where the site code itself handled domain aliases, and as such I had to change 10+ domain pointers to aliases. Currently this means deleting all 10 of them and then re-adding them one by one as the new type. Since there's already checkboxes there for multi-delete, a "Change all selected to pointer/alias" button would be a small but very handy addition.

On a similar note - I have to release a site soon for a customer with 86 (!!!) domains. That currently means I have to enter 85 aliases one by one by hand. Bulk adding would be great :)

Is the workaround in http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22728&page=1 still valid?
 
Will do when the site is ready to launch :)

On a related note: in the user lists all domain pointers now show up prefixed with "P:". Would be handy if that also showed a "P:" for a pointer, and "A:" for alias :)

If you need such a solution from a box, then you might need to post a feature request in a proper subforum here. If you want a third-party solution, then you could PM me and I'll check if it can be applied as a fix or a patch/hack.
 
I'm just suggesting things for future DirectAdmin releases that currently work fine but could work better or (far) more userfriendly :) No immediate need for any fixing, but thanks for the offer!
