New menu structure and DNS services
« on: December 04, 2015, 11:28:30 pm »
I really like the new menu structure, which e.g. unifies the DHCP Relay and the DHCP Server. But is there a specific reason, why the different DNS services were not put together into one sub-menu? I guess the DNS Filter, DNS Forwarder, DNS Resolver, and maybe even the Dynamic DNS services might go into one DNS menu, which then has sub items for Filter, Forwarder, Resolver, and Dynamic DNS.

Hi Manuel,

We only want three levels, so that there is no deep nesting (except for the edit pages, which are kind of a level 4, but not in the menu).

There's a ticket to make the menu more flexible so that we could hide the forwarder/resolver, depending on which is used. It's just that we don't want to rush a hack:

Not hacking things (and the 3 level restriction) requires us to leave tools, resolver and forwarder menu items in place. But we definitely want to go in the direction you're suggesting. :)


Cheers,
Franco
