1 year ago The summary of all that was said is (correct me if I'm wrong):
favorites should load based on the currently selected product/virtual-server in the sidebar or the last visited/edited server if not in the Virtualmin tab.
If so, I don't really agree that it should.
In VirtualMin 7.7, it seems the ★ functionality (create a Favorite) in Virtualmin is currently unintentionally per-domain (i.e. per server/sub-server/alias; it adds
?dom=somebignumberat the end of the favorite's URL, but doesn't reveal that explicitly), instead of global for the user...As a result, if you have a bunch of websites/subdomains/aliases and just want to have a Quick Access to some of the menu items you use the most (or that you keep forgetting about) "without having to remember exactly how it's called", particularly for configuring the same multiple things across several vservers… the current system prevents you from choosing your server first and then accessing the favorite as a shortcut, because the favorite is "that feature, but in another server", so you get thrown back to the other server's config page for that feature. It's just adding extra clicks and, if you are not careful, potential mistakes (because you might be accidentally editing the config of another server you were previously looking at when you created the Favorite).
Other unfortunate side-effects of this bug include:
When loading the favorite without a specified domain name, it should load it for the currently selected vserver in the sidebar (or if you are not in the Virtualmin tab and you are in the Webmin, then I guess it should select the feature for the last visited/edited server)
