Lack of interest Better Handling of Template Modifications for Profile Dropdown

[Brent W]

See screenshot... looks awful when things are not attempted to be evenly added to this drop down by modifications.

Stock template: While it looks better (styling being the difference) it still isn't evenly distributed

The problem is the fact that you can only target a specific container in the modification, which represents either the first or second row.

It was the same way in vB, it annoyed me as a dev, so what I did was add a admin setting to choose to go in the left or right column. The setting was in correlation to a conditional in the template. Could you not do the same thing with XF?

Yeah it's currently down to the developer to decide which column the link goes into. Your solution seems like it would work.

However, some developers seem to prefer one side over the other, which will always exasperate the issue:

Sure it may be up to the developer, but as a developer to make your product fully featured, and give the people running the mod the option to choose which row the link goes into seems like a no brainer.

Too many times when a developer creates a product they only look at it from their point of view, and no from a end users point of view.
