In latest 7.x admins can switch between 1.7 and 1.5 versions of the jQuery library. I have to admit that before getting accustomed to it, when I initially searched for the config page I had to visit the modules page then click the "configure" action available only to find out that what I was looking for was in the site's "Performance" page (/admin/config/development/performance). I guess that page was most likely chosen in order to avoid adding yet another separate page for this single setting.

I see how the "jQuery compression level" and "jQuery and jQuery UI CDN" options fit perfectly under the performance section. The version of jQuery though -in most cases- is not chosen/updated in a site installation for performance reasons (although that can sometimes be a pleasant "side-effect") but rather for compatibility/fixes and new features added.

So, I think that perhaps we should either consider moving the module's options to their own dedicated page under /admin/config/development/jquery or alternatively simply add a "configure" link to the site's "Status report" page leading to the "Performance" page, so that the "jQuery Update" status could be like so:

jQuery 1.7.1 (configure) and jQuery UI 1.8.11

Not a dupe at all.

#1449574: Move configuration form link and page to admin/config/development/jquery_update was about changing the configuration page URL. This request here is to add a "configure" link to the site "Status report" page (/admin/reports/status). Like so...

Turn this:

jquery_update_status-no_configure_link.png

...to this:

jquery_update_status-with_configure_link.png

This a one-line no-brainer patch. I also gave it a spin in simplytest.me and it simply works! (link is added to the status page - link points to jquery_update admin page). Thanx Juned ;)
