Ok You! Listen up!

[Brian Klein]

Laugh out Loudl, I'm just kidding, but I do have an idea and some feedback I would like to give.

 

For Invision Power Board 4.0

 

So as of right now, support is located in the 'NAV BAR' with no way to remove it (officially) without paying someone cash'ola to code it out or go through extensive hoops to find someone who knows how to do it, OR doing it yourself, but again if I am new and paying for service from a suite, I could bug the techs all day to do it (as if they don't have enough on their plates).

 

I purpose that you allow support a switch in the "Applications" area, since it is under commerce as is and allow us to hide it. Like in my case I prefer the old-school method to it and want it in the profile menu when they click their name. But I was not given this option. I think it is important shouldn't be on the navbar section. I know there are a few people out there that like it there, one of them, I am not.

My life long dream is to see a switch, I yern for this switch (or button if ye' prefer.) in the apps -> Commerce section. If I could oh but have this one dream.

 

For those of you who are interested in how I was able to add a link into the profile section I offer the other post I've created as a guide. Located here

Good one! I took a deep breath before clicking the topic - you got me.

This just came in on the internal tracker this evening - we are evaluating!

lol, thanks! I love you guys, you all have helped me so much, I thought you'd see humor in it, but yeah I was hoping to see that small option implemented.

Even tho I make the glorious addon, CJ Menu, I'll throw you a bone

Replace core/front/global/navBar with the contents from below, should hide the Support button

<nav class='ipsLayout_container'>
	<div class='ipsClearfix' id='elSearchNavContainer' data-controller='core.front.core.navBar'>
