Description
We need to create a System category to house Site Information. Because this is merely site related, they should be grouped together. Its inevitable that we need a category like this, and creating it to house these items gives some sense that module maintainers shouldn't put their modules here.
#1
Which items in core would go here?
Site information, and actions?, …?
#2
Part of #546956: [meta-issue] Overhaul of Information Architecture
#3
Actions, actions! Actions, too!
#4
+1
#5
Ok, so moving site information and actions.
#6
And the obligatory screenshot to get "the feel of it" :)
#7
The last submitted patch failed testing.
#8
Can we weight this a bit already and make site info show up on top?
#9
Of course I forgot to update a menu item page callback index which resulted in test fails. Fixed in attached patch.
@yoroy: fixed that too.
#10
Works for me, I expect actions will move somewhere else eventually, but let's get it out of admin/settings to start with.
#11
Forgot status change.
#12
Committed to HEAD. Woot!
I actually like Actions here, and would suggest moving Trigger. Both are general-purpose tools that can be used in a variety of contexts.
Needs work for docs.
#13
I think we missed Statistics, it seams reasonable to move that - almost all its settings are related to the system and do not fit anywhere else very well. I think we could discuss endlessly how to improve Statistics and perhaps move it somewhere else - but its hard to reach consensus on that.
I spoke with catch on this as well, and he was al right with it - since it eliminates our last section, we can always come back to it.
#14
yep, go ahead and move statistics to system category please.
#15
yoroy / bojhan -
Attached is a patch that moves statistics to the right URL...
To test:
1) install Drupal HEAD
2) Turn on Statistics module
3) navigate to 'admin/config'
4) click on "Statistics"
Works for me!
#16
I reviewed this patch, and it looks fine. The move from admin/settings/statistics to admin/config/system/statistics is required in Drupal 7. I confirmed that all the links appear on the right menu and work.
#17
Ok, committed!!
Now let's quick get a patch to remove Site configuration! Hooray!! :D
#18
*cough*
