Description

Please, whoever introduced the UI change that did hide the preference filters, please, please, please, expose them back to new tiki admins, since there are tons of support requests in many tiki sites out there about new site admins (even experienced php developers) not finding the preferences that they are looking for in the Control Panels, also following the documentation pages in doc.t.o about them, etc.

This is also affecting people creating show.t.o instances to report bugs and not finding the preferences, etc.

I tried myself but it was beyond myskills when I had a quick look at that, and I was fearing to break some tpl/css, so I'd rather leave ir for an aexperienced UI developers, or even better, to whoever introduced this usability regression (back in Tik1i3 or 14 days, probably?)

Thanks

Solution
Should be fixed now in trunk, and i sort of agree that we shouldn't backport the new basic/advanced switch in a minor update to 15.x, but the fix to allow advanced prefs to appear in the pref search should be backported (if i didn't do that already)
