@DGT41 Unable to select recipient (users list not populated), but I have the same behavior without your PR! New issue??

[dgrammatiko]

@smanzi You just found a new bug! 👍

[smanzi]

@DGT41 do you want open new issue and try a PR? I'm currently busy fixing up JHtmlBoostrap::renderModal() (yes, it has issues!), but after that I can give a look too...

[dgrammatiko]

@smanzi I am kinda busy right now, maybe later

Try to see the code in Bootstrap 3.0 and maybe port it to 2.3.2? Just an idea...

@DGT41 there was no bug here! It was only due to the fact that I (and probably you too...) didn't have any other user beside ourselves enabled to send/receive messages. I think it must be an Administrator or Super User. Try adding a new Administrator and it will work. You should probably add this to your test instructions...

The question now is: if the recipient must be an Administrator/Super User, why in the modal for user selection it is possible to select also the other user groups for filtering? 😏

I agree, UI is inconsistent. I think messages component is not used and it can be removed (similar case to weblinks).

[smanzi]

... and Banners and Contacts and (IMHO) Newsfeeds

[dgrammatiko]

@anibalsanchez @smanzi my list of useless stuff is a little bit longer 😃

[smanzi]

@DGT41 @anibalsanchez If we start looking into plugins it can be way longer!!

[anibalsanchez]

Yeah! Let's kick them out.

[dgrammatiko]

@anibalsanchez @smanzi According to the roadmap in two days time will have 3.5 without com_newsfeeds, com_banners, com_contacts, com_search, com_finder, com_redirect, com_messages. But then again 3.4 is not yet released...

[anibalsanchez]

Well, let's wait for the next version.

[Bakual]

The roadmap is flexible 😄
If it's ready before the release of 3.4 beta, it can be considered for 3.4. If not, it will go into 3.5.

[dgrammatiko]

@Bakual Thomas I would like to help there, but I guess someone has to make all these repos...

[Bakual]

I think ss soon as the 3.4 is released, we will create all those repos.
