This is a meaningless request to me, because I don't use WHM. And since no one else has replied in six days, I'm guessing no one else can understand either.
Can you add to your post, perhaps with a link or two, so we'll know what you mean?

Something similar in DirectAdmin would likely change settings in the directadmin.conf file. Those of you who use the CSF firewall might notice there's something similar you can use to tweak settings in the CSF configuraiton.
What is the advantage of allowing you to make these changes through the control panel rather than requiring the root shell login? Are you suggesting that admins shouldn't need to know how to us4e shell commands to install and manage a DirectAdmin server? If so, I'd disagree with you, since there are many things you need to do to manage a server, which are not part of DirectAdmin, and need a knowledge of the shell.
I still haven't seen any comments, five days after your reply.
Does anyone else think this would be an important contribution to DirectAdmin?

I manage a number WHM servers for clients that have services elsewhere. From this perspective I can see how something like this could be handy in DA. I still find myself using shell a fair bit but sometimes it a lot more convenient to just use the gui. I wouldn't want to see it bloated with settings like in WHM but I can see where a stripped down version could be handy for, especially those that sell VPS plans with DA as it could be an additional selling feature for them.
Keeping in mind that those clients that choose DA are attached to the simplistic nature of it's gui not being riddles with confusing options for them.

1) Hmm.. I can see the need, but I can also see the danger.
I guess if we add the interface, we'd also be able to filter and control what input is given, which should help reduce the danger, but it would need some heavy checking for ranges, and recommended values, etc..
Can also have it hide or grey-out the variables that don't apply with the current settings.
2) I was already thinking of reworking it so that the DA binaries know what each setting's KB/versions page is, and has an included text description.. so I don't need to manage that other id=284 page.
Perhaps linked into the skin language packs, in the en/internal directory.
3) Another thought.. was to add a new column in the versions system database.. where I'd simply store the directadmin.conf variable.. although searching for "directadmin.conf variablename=" would also get you fairly close to all the results.
----
In any case, I'm still leaning towards #2... which would make adding it to the GUI much easier.. either way would need to create a new variable system first, then just fill it in for each of the many variables (which is a project in itself)
Thoughts are welcome.
