Some time ago (can't really tell when) we developed interface preset
feature.
It allows to show/hide fields/columns menus through out the Admin Console.
There 3 predefined schemes available: -
- simple - most of the stuff disabled/hidden
...
- advanced - all is allowed
...
- custom - all is allowed
Both "advanced" and "custom" interface presets are of equal value since we
didn't restricted anything in them yet.
Also there 2 configuration variables to work with interface presets: 1.
- "Admin Console Interface" (AdminConsoleInterface) in "Configuration
...
- -> Website -> General" section that allows to set current interface preset
...
- (one for all users)
...
- "Allow Admin to change Admin Console Interface"
...
- (AllowAdminConsoleInterfaceChange) in "Configuration -> Website ->
...
- Advanced" that hides first variable and disallows user to change it.
At first it seems, that there is no use for 2nd setting at all, there is.
Let me explain. 1.
- Set "simple" interface preset in "Configuration -> Website ->
...
- General" section (now "Configuration -> Website -> Advanced" section
...
- becomes hidden, while in non-debug mode)
...
- Go to "Configuration -> Website -> Advanced" and enable "Allow Admin
...
- to change Admin Console Interface" (now "Admin Console Interface" is no
...
- longer visible to ALL, even developers)
Then if we (as developers) miss some sections and want to use them without
website owner seeing them we need to: 1.
- Go to "Configuration -> Website -> Advanced" section and disable "Allow
...
- Admin to change Admin Console Interface" setting
...
- change "Admin Console Interface" setting in "Configuration -> Website
...
- -> General" section
As you can see lots of jumping between sections and checking 2
configuration settings.
I'm proposing to simplify this by doing following changes: 1.
- show "Admin Console Interface" setting for all users if "Allow Admin
...
- to change Admin Console Interface" setting is enabled
...
- show "Admin Console Interface" setting for all users, who have
...
- debug mode enabled, if "Allow Admin to change Admin Console Interface" setting
...
- is disabled
...
- move "Allow Admin to change Admin Console Interface" setting to be
...
- showed as a "[x] allow changing" right next to "Admin Console
...
- Interface" setting
