Issue Description

hello thank you for your hard work. quick query - the cpanel version had access to csf.conf file but in webmin it only shows "profiles" is there a way to access csf.conf file in the webmin ui or must i first create a profile - and if so how ? - Or is it only via ssh ?

TIA

Steps To Reproduce

I'm sort of confused.

By accessing the csf.conf file in Webmin, I assume you mean the icons at the top right? I have not removed those. You should see a little gear icon toward the top of the webmin header.

Snap a screenshot of your webmin page, what theme you're using, and the webmin version.

Actually I am newish to Webmin and hadn't realised i could click on the settings cog! OK all good now (webmin likes to hide stuff a bit!)

In cpanel, there is a "Firewall Configuration" button half way down the page - so that was what I was looking for!

[Aetherinox]

The "Firewall Configuration" button has been missing from Webmin for quite some time. It appears to be a decision made by the developers of the authentic (dark) theme.

However, in the next update (15.09), I'm adding one back. So you'll have it in two places.

Yup that makes a lot of sense! Mind you - the Webmin folk seem very responsive I'm sure they'd add it back too ! @iliaross

It's really up to them how they want to approach it. I don't want to start stepping on their toes with design. I just know that the "Firewall Configuration" button has been the main complaint from people, so I've been adding a way that users to get it back without causing conflict to the other aspects of Webmin.

Other than that, I like Webmin dictate how CSF appears in their panel, and when I do make changes, I test with Webmin to ensure nothing has broken their theme. No need to cause more work for others.

I haven't personally reached out to Webmin, and I haven't heard anything from them, since I've only been working on CSF since August / September.

It was never removed. It was just moved to the top of the table header to look like a standard Webmin module.

Correct. But for whatever reason, some people keep looking for a "Firewall Configuration" button in the main nav and can't seem to locate it.

The settings icon in the header has been there for as long as I've used Authentic dark, but some people seem to glance right over it. 4th time I've had someone not able to locate it now.

It doesn't justify adding a new button or link, just let them look a little harder.

I'll leave it out this time around and add a note to the docs and see if it resolves the game of where's waldo for the Webmin chapter.
