More user friendly request connection?

More user friendly request connection? was created by bjorn190
Hi, and thank you for this great component! :)

I am using it to build my site, and I feel the greatest challenge is making the site user friendly.

A user with developer skills or an engineer is able to use the menus without problems. However, most people need an easier and more user friendly interface.

I have got most things working ok, but I would like to make it easier for users to add connections to eachother. The menu requires at least 2 clicks for this, and on my site 3 clicks because I have it in a tab to show the profile content better.

I would like to be able to add a simple text link as a tab: request connection. This link would bring up the request connection window. Is this possible, and does such a solution exist? :)

I appreciate any help or ideas on this matter. It would greatly enhance my chances of succeeding with my site :cheer:

I know some PHP, enough to modify files. But not enough for this modification right now.

I have managed to solve the problem with some modification ;)

I chose to display the menu as a list, and hard coded the removal of the menu items that I didnt want.

Still, I think that being able to modify or remove items from the menu in the menu settings would be an improvement

I myself am interested in this. I prefer not using the built in menu system but cannot find another way to add connections without it. Maybe you have an idea?

Well, the big solution would be some way to hide/show each part of the menu (connections, email, private message, update profile, update picture).. :unsure:

My solution was modifying the code, to solve my current problem. :whistle:

Another way could be if there could be a CB addon that lets u take the functions from the menu, and place as buttons or something. But I dunno, it depends on design and taste. :side:

I guess what I would like to see in general is to allow built in customization of the menu according to unique site design and functionality. :)

Have you tried the CB Content module?
