The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.Hi,
I've just realised this. When you install another module, its configuration links don't appear/disappear when you install/uninstall it unless you at least disable module_filter.
Does that make any sense? If it doesn't, I'll be happy to explain in further.
Regards,

klonosYou lost me there. Please clarify (also use "enable/disable" instead of "install/uninstall" if that is what you mean).
Comment #2
kartagisSorry for the confusion. Suppose you have module_filter installed. Then you install another module. But its configuration links don't appear in /admin/config unless you disable module_filter. Then you can safely re-enable module_filter.
Comment #3
klonos...hmm, I didn't notice any such behavior. Any specific module that you see this with (so I can test and confirm)?
Comment #4
kartagisOne module I can remember is CDN.
Comment #5
klonosThere must be something seriously wrong with your installation if you are indeed seeing what you are saying you are seeing, because as soon as I installed* and then enabled** the latest dev version of CDN, I saw 2 action links: "Configure" & "Permissions" available next to the module. As soon as I clicked the "Configure" link, it took me to ../admin/config/development/cdn where I could configure the module. So does following Configuration -> Development -> CDN from the menu (admin_menu).
* as in placing the tarball in the directory and extracting it under /sites/all/modules
** as in checking the "Enabled" checkbox and hitting the "Save configuration" button on the modules admin page

klonos...I just took another look at your comments in order to make sure I got everything right. You say that you see no entry under .../admin/config so I just re-enabled the module and (double)checked:
Comment #7
manhalt commentedI installed and enabled the CDN module with the Module_Filter module enable but was unable to duplicate the issue. I had the Configure and Permissions links available. At this point I am inclined to concur with klonos.
Comment #8
klonosLets set this to a more appropriate status and give it a more descriptive title. The issue is open for a couple of months now, so if we still don't get a reply from Muzaffer in a week or two, then lets close it for good as "cannot reproduce". Shall we?

drupal4u.org commentedI'm sorry, but I just experienced exactly the same issue. And the disabling and re-enabling of the module filter solved my problem (as discussed above).
In my case I uninstalled the module seo checklist. After I reinstalled it, the admin link disapeared. It was not in the menu under admin/config/search and also not accessible over the direct link admin/config/search/seo-checklist. So I couldn't configure it anymore. The enabling and disabling of the module filter solved the problem!
