[Bug 1195489] [NEW] After installation, make the installer "jump" to the "Continue" link at the bottom of the page

 

Public bug reported:

This bugs me every time I do a clean Mahara install (which as a
developer, tends to be several times a day). The list of plugins on the
install page is vertically longer than my browser window. And, since I
have $cfg->productionmode=false, this list gets pushed further and
further down the page by the log_info() notices that show up at the top
of the page. Even with productionmode=true, the tickmarks on each line
expand the line a bit, which causes enough page expansion to move the
bottom of the list off of the page.

As a result, there's no quick visual indicator of when the install
process is complete. I have to keep manually scrolling down as it goes,
or just go away and come back some time later.

Moodle's installer/updater has the handy functionality that when it's
done, it leaps you to the bottom of the page where the "Continue" link
is. I'd like to see the same in Mahara.
