Module ID missing (when opened)

[Leo Lammerink]

From the forums:

I have just migrated to Joomla 3.3.1. Under Joomla 2.5, when an article or module is open we can see on the right side the article/module ID. But under Joomla 3, I can't manage to find the module ID when they are open. I can get them when I am in module manager but it's such waste of time to close the item just to get the ID.

In an article the ID has been moved to the Publishing tab but there isn't such thing in a module.

I asked the OP why he needs it:

This option will save me time because I use a lot the plugin "module anywhere" so I have to create a module, configure it quickly, close it to get the ID, add the ID to an article, open the module again and finish to configure it.

If I had the module ID directly in the "module" tab of the module, I can save a bit of time (not having to close, find the module to get the ID and open it again). 

I agree that this is a handy feature and I wonder why we removed it in Joomla 3.x Is that on purpose or a "slip-of-the-tongue" ?

I'd say it's not on purpose.

However it's easy to add. You just have to tell me where you like to have it.

If we add it to the sidebar it's just adding the 'id' to the fields_array here: https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/staging/administrator/components/com_modules/views/module/tmpl/edit.php#L131

I am cool with that Thomas..... If you add it properly I will test immediately that PR complete and we can resolve this indeed easy?

Yes it was done on purpose after the UX sprint last year and if my memory is correct it was at the suggestion of Peter from Nonumber - the author of moduleanywhere.

That doesnt sound correct to me at all. I'm really NOT in favour of cluttering up the UI just because we can

Hmm, couldn't find anything in the git history and it looks like the change goes back to 3.0.0 alpha2 when Kyle bootstrapped the admin area. Before that commit, the id was shown below the note field. At least when I look at the code :)

I may be wrong of course. And I'm certainly not an UX pro.

Module Manager -> Options -> Show ID when editing modules?

[Leo Lammerink]

Why doing it the difficult way where Bakual has already a very simple solution created? When placing it in globals we get a lot of code extra

Those above me described why it can't be unconditionally shown. So I just chimed in because I think an option is better than ditching something certain users will need,
