Is the "Edit" Button and "Update Your Profile" link hard-coded?

in CB 2.0.x default template: how do I change the position of the "Edit" button?
Can other items be placed in that position? What position is that actually? I've tried to replicate the "Connection Paths" in Header (above left/middle/right) as div without tile, but that's not working (Yes, I have the connections turned off; but I still thought I can place something NEXT to the "Edit" button, or just move that b..y button somewhere more intuitive)

Also, just FYI: the CB2.0x back-end: there used to be easier way of navigating within the component between sections (tab, list, form, plugin, etc.) - now I have to go to Components > CB > my desired section in order to jump to another area... too many steps - not UX friendly

The buttons are a part of the CB template PHP file found below.

components/com_comprofiler/plugin/templates/default/default.php

I do not recommend modifying core files though as you will lose your changes on upgrade. You can create a new CB template or create an override template. See the below for an override example template (you can override the PHP file instead of the CSS file if you want).

We have a module that installs with CB 2.0 that adds to the backend menu. You should see it after the Help menu item. You can quickly navigate to CBs backend pages from there. Including directly to "New" pages to quickly add new items.

I'm returning to this post, since it's been a while:
follow up question: can I actually publish any tab next to the edit button? The positions list is just a nightmare to figure it out: I have to publish a tab one-by-one to see how it looks like... this is a UX/UI elm street nightmare: the whole area next to the edit button is wasted... I don't need a fancy template - just simple default would work for most customizations and SAVE time in maintenance!
I read somewhere in the forum ( www.joomlapolis.com/forum/153-professional-member-support/227516-a-few-newbie-questions-canvas-sort-order-qedit-profile-fields-everywhereq-facebook-login-user-name ) and you have provided some work-around - but when are you guys plan to make this a breeze to work with?

Happy to pay. Time=$$$ => please PM if you would like to take this conversation to the next level.

Thanks,

The positions list is just a nightmare to figure it out: I have to publish a tab one-by-one to see how it looks like...

We have a diagram in the CB Primer Book for all the positions.

Are you talking about the Edit menu item at the top of the profile? It's not a button. It's a dropdown menu structure. CB Auto Actions can be used to add new menu items to it relatively easily (there is no limit). We've plans for a backend management page for CB Menu plugin to more easily add menu items in a future release.

I don't need a fancy template - just simple default would work for most customizations and SAVE time in maintenance!

If you want the default template with some customized stlying then using an override template is the way to do that. It will inherit all CSS/PHP files you don't replace. Having just an override.css in it allows it to load all the defaults in addition to your override file so you can replace styling or add new styling without worry of maintaining the rest. A tutorial for this can be found below.

We'll eventually have a layout editor where you'd just drag and drop fields and tabs as needed. There really wouldn't be any sort of field > tab relationship anymore as they're purely be containers. This is a long way off though as we've a lot of other code to improve before getting to that point. For a more simplified way of how this might work you can look into CB Profile Pro.

=> can you pls point me to that book? I'm actually trying to find 2.0.10 manual and I can't!
