Lack of interest Sort ACP Side Menu

[Dixie McCall]

Would like the ability to sort ACP Side Menu. I would put "Appearance" closer to the top.

You can already do this. Set your site in development mode with this addon, https://xenforo.com/community/resources/ozzmodz-debug-development-mode-from-acp.7163/

Then navigate to Development - Admin navigation

HI Ozzy,
I'm not sure I quite understand. I'm looking to move the options in left panel menu to my liking. Similar to being able to sort forums.

Will this add-on do this?


THank you!

 

[Ozzy47]

The addon doesn’t do it, it just opens the options for you to be able to sort the menu to your liking.

 

[Dixie McCall]

Hi Ozz
Okay so I've installed now how do I sort the menu. I don't see how anywhere.

 

[Dixie McCall]

Ok I see it now...

THank you!

 

[Dixie McCall]

This is awesome. Would be even more awesome if we could drop and drag things. Love it! Thank you so much. Now I have to retrain my brain to look for my options. LOL

 

[djbaxter]

I don't see it either, except for ordering the sections under Options, which isn't what you're talking about it, correct?

 

[Ozzy47]

You change the display order of the links to change their position.

 

[djbaxter]

I must be especially dense or sleepy today. Where is that done?

 

[djbaxter]

Oh. In Setup >> {Option group} >> Edit

 

[Dixie McCall]

Oh man. This makes things so much easier for me in admin. No more scrolling!

 

[Mike]

To be honest, I think the provided suggestion of how to do this is a bad idea in that these changes will be lost when you upgrade, so bear that in mind. Development is a very particular mode that lets you change things that we intentionally don't expose in "normal" operation.

 

[Dixie McCall]

What do you mean by "expose?" As in a security vulnerability?

 

[Mike]

Well it may expose some things that you shouldn't be editing unless you understand the significance. There are a number of things we don't expose specifically because they're part of the "master" XF data and thus your changes will be overwritten when you upgrade.

Beyond that, yes, there is information that debug mode may leak which can have security implications.

 

[Dixie McCall]

Well okay then... lol I just wanted to sort the admin panel.

I'll have " I'm an idiot for a thousand Alex."

Sigh...

The debug mode in the addon is switched off after 15 minutes automatically.

I didn't know this. Good idea and a good safeguard.

It was done that way so admins didn’t inadvertently leave it on and edit/change something they didn’t mean to.
