| Summary | 5663: Menu too long in Admin Zone > Setup > Configuration | ||||
| Description | In the control panel under "Setup" then "Configuration", I may be just a bit picky here but it drops down and is a very long list and you are forced to scroll down and hope the menu doesn't close. Maybe move some to a third level menu??? | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Control panel the select "Setup" and click or such and the menu under "configuration" drops well beyond the bottom of my screen. | ||||

This is on the mouse-over condition, |

You can click on "Configuration" to be taken to a do-next screen/page. |

That "I" understand but to a new user this might get frustrating to see the menu disappear and not knowing how to keep it and scroll down... |

I'll have to think on this. I don't know of an easy solution. I could simply not make a menu appear if more than x items exist, forcing the user to click on the parent and thus have to go to that screen. But I can think of a few reasons not to do this / how this would frustrate users for other reasons. Ideally we would switch to using mega-menus. But that would be a major theme project. Not something we have time for in v11.0 but maybe a later minor version of 11. Best solution I can think of is for menus to be click-activated instead of hover-activated, and then disable disappearing the menu if the cursor moves away (instead make it disappear if clicking outside the menu) Suggestions are welcome. |

The subitems consist of standard config categories, and other links. Some of the other links could be moved... - Installation Options -- probably leave where-is - Configure field filters -- could move to a new Advanced Configuration module and no long be shown from the start screen for the admin_config module - Configure breadcrumb overrides -- ditto - Configure advanced banning -- ditto - Composr upgrader -- Probably should just move out to the Tools menu and no long be shown from the start screen for the admin_config module - Code editor -- ditto - RSS/Atom Feeds -- Probably should just move out to the Content menu and no long be shown from the start screen for the admin_config module |
