This kills the alert for the disabled Collect URLs option.

Please re-add that single one.

No. for the same reason as the plugin enabled.

I have tested this item ? unsuccessfully on 8db9823

Setting as unsuccessful as we need an alert when the option is disabled, evidently not when it is enabled. Similar to this patch but only showing when the plugin is enabled.

Why do we need it? Where else do we have a similar alert?

This was an improvement that was welcomed in former versions. Why killing it? Why lose what works and is useful to the users? Just display it when the plugin is enabled and the option is not set and we are done.
Not everyone will know or remember that option which is essential for this component specifically.

You can make the same argument for lots of things - it is a useless argument. You don't agree - thats fine. You dont have to agree with everything

I also mentioned it's not useless but it shouldn't be an alert.

A (constant) section about the component like in j3 which such information would be great.

Maybe where we display No Matching Results ?

@HLeithner are you going to start displaying similar messages then for components where fields are not enabled etc
@infograf768 No because you may have results.

No because you may have results.

That is not an issue. We can create a specific method in the model, get its result in template and create a specific div to display it.

Only where it makes sense, we have the same thing in smart search with the search plugins.

maybe there are more components or view were a static message makes sense.

I see that smart search has the same problem with the constantly repeating alert.

I will look at the static message idea in the morning

Something like this ?

Yes something like this

easy enough

closing for now - will either reopen with the static message for com_redirect and com_finder or will create a new pr
