Example

Not possible, since the customize this section links are only visible to site administrators.

Logs

Does not apply.

This seems to be relevant for all Pavilion Plugins that add links to the sidebar (“hamburger menu”). Please also see Link in "hamburger menu" (now sidebar) cannot be moved to the always visible section of the default custom section

A workaround might be to use the discourse-dropdown-header theme component or similar the official custom header links theme component.

Another workaround is to manually add these links to the sidebar, while not using the settings to display them there.

This is more of a problem with the Users Map.

There is no option of adding it - it just gets added by the code automatically if you enable the Users Map.

This no longer makes sense with the sidebar navigation at all, as it is now easy for users to add a link and customise it / move it as they wish.

I hide the one made by the Locations Plugin it with this CSS:

// hide the users map link
.sidebar-container li[data-list-item-name="users map"] {
    display: none;
}

Suggestion

Could we remove the hamburger link functionality within the plugin altogether, along with the setting?
