The current version of CB rocks, it's been fabulous to work with and will do darn near anything.
I have a question on the behavior of the Edit button when editing a profile.
Our users don't think to mouse over the edit button and then click the Update your profile drop down link. Some even miss the button and it's Red! No amount of FAQ's and even a How to use Video user proofs this thing.
I think there are two questions on this issue:
1. Is there a reason why the Edit button so a simple click on it can't directly take a user into the edit mode?
2. If not, how can we modify it's behavior so users simply need to click the button to edit?
Thanks for any help on this, it's an annoyance and not fatal but if we can change the way it works, it would be appreciated.
CB Menu core plugin is a bit long over do for a rewrite. Same with CB Connections. I hope to get to those rewrites for CB 2.2, but likely not in CB 2.1 (will see about at least some new functionality added to CB 2.1 for custom menu entries).
The best way to have what you're wanting is to first hide that menu entry using CSS. Once that's done use CB Auto Actions and its CB Menu action to add a new profile edit menu entry that is top level (won't be in a dropdown so single click goes to profile edit). That should help alleviate some of the user confusion. The below configuration should do this.
Global

Type: CB Menu
Access: Self Only Action
