Feature request: Can the staff notes icon appear on the user profile card? Would be nice to be able to add/view a note from the latest view.

Probably a good idea for it to show somewhere on the user card.

Just had an admin ask for this.

This should be doable now in a Theme, right?

It’s three years later. Do you still think it’s a good idea to show a staff notes link (or some of the notes?) on the user card?

Maybe … the tricky thing is what would happen when you click the icon. Cause you don’t want absolutely position a window on top of another absolutely positioned window.

Oh. I think it’d just go do the user page (which it does anyway), I think that the idea is just making it easier to see _that_ there are staff notes, and, perhaps, to add them to the user card if there is room.

Hmmm it does not take you to the user page now, it pops a modal:

Modal squared is not ideal. I guess adding the icon next to where the cakeday icon goes now is fine, and having it link to the user page with a tooltip.

Sure, I support that change.

Oops. Yeah. The double-modal is yucky. I guess that’s why he wanted such a change.

Could a theme component squeeze the staff note or the beginning of it, to the card?

Support as in `#pr-welcome` or **support** as in, someone will be on it next week. 😉

We will take this once we free up… some time in the next few weeks.

It’s done.

I like to show the “staff notes” popup itself instead of redirecting. What if I closed the user card before opening staff notes popup? I’m able to do it like `this.parentView.parentView._close()`

I am not sure, @awesomerobot what do you recommend we do here?

Closing the usercard and opening the notes modal seems fine to me — I think it would be better than redirecting to the user page.
