rahim123 seeks to add a prominent link in the sidebar or top menu to send a private message (PM) to the admin, or alternatively link to the /g/admins/ page. They note that the sidebar currently lacks customization beyond default categories and tags, referencing an ongoing discussion on sidebar customization here. As a fallback, they consider adding a top header button using theme development tutorials, ideally pre-filling the recipient field in the PM. Moin suggests using #theme-component for custom links, referencing guides for custom header links and top navigation links, and provides a direct link to a tutorial on pre-filling PMs via URL. rahim123 thanks Moin, confirming the pre-fill method was exactly what they needed and that theme components will save time. They conclude that the sidebar remains non-customizable for this purpose—at least for now.
Hi there, I need to add a prominent link to the sidebar and/or a button in the top menu to send a private message to the administrator. Or if it’s any easier I could settle for linking to the /g/admins/ page.
In general, it appears that the sidebar is still not customizable beyond setting default categories and tags? Is this topic still current?
So if the sidebar isn’t feasible I might have to settle for a top header bar button, like the button that gets added deep into this tutorial:
But ideally I"d like to pre-fill the recipient too, not sure how to do that.
Thank you very much! I swear I searched extensively and I didn’t find that method to pre-fill a PM with a URL, exactly what I was looking for. And those theme components look like they’ll save me a bunch of time too.
So it looks like the sidebar is definitely not an option, at least not yet?
