Hi,
one little pet peeve I have with the 2.1 GUI is that there is that Tools links
pointing to a empty page.
One looks at it and wonders... why it's there in the first place if it leads
to nothing?
So I cooked the attached little patch that will hide the Tools and Demos
page links in case there is nothing in the app context that would fill them.
What do you think?
Cheers
Andrea

+1, a link that goes to an empty page makes little sense. I might rename the authorizer class to something more indicative of what it does though. Something like “NoPageLinksAuthorizer” or “EmptyPageLinksAuthorizer”.

Seems fine to me; there is however the danger of someone looking for the "Demos" page; as such it may be easier to have an empty page; and fill it in with some text indicating "no demos are currently installer". In the case of tools you could even link to some instructions on how to install tools.

Demos can be missing only if someone removes them forcefully from the
install, at that point
I guess the admin knows what he's dealing with.
Tools on the other side are available only if you install only
new/experimental modules.
That's why I want to go for hiding them
Cheers
