In 1.7 the various site configuration parameters which used to be grouped under Administration / Configuration have now been scattered under various groupings. It would be nice to have a correspondence table showing location in pre 1.7 versions and location in 1.7.
For instance I do not know where the following has been re-located:
Filters
Cache Controls
Text cache lifetime
Filter uploaded files
Filter match once per page
Filter match once per text
Filter all strings
Thanks,
Joseph
Got it! Filters Cache controls have been moved under Administration / Appearance / Filter settings.
This is like playing at hide and seek.

If you were feeling helpful, you could start a table like the one you describe on moodledocs.
Of, if you were feeling clever, you might be able to generate one automatically with a perl script, and the brefore and after admin source code.

Hi Tim,
I guess it will be option A for me (being helpful), since I have no Perl scripting skills.

Don't worry, Option B is pretty much impossible because of the radical change in how they are defined. 
We can move these menus around easily so if anyone has good ideas about improving the admin menu organisation we're interested!
Note that MDL-6687 will help!

Here we go... If Tim or Martin can suggest the right place in the MoodleDocs Wiki (or open a new page for me) I will upload it there so it can be amended, enriched, etc.

Hi Joseph,
As mentioned in MoodleDocs: Guidelines for contributors, you're welcome to create a new page in Moodle Docs yourself by typing the name of the new page between double brackets

New page name. Alternatively you could simply make up a URI containing the new page name e.g. http://docs.moodle.org/en/Administration_changes.Hi,
Helen created a page. I need to perfect my wiki table building skills and will give it a shot. I will try to use the content of Joseph's table. Attempted to do a view source and then a copy-paste to MoodleDocs. It is too hard to make changes (find things). I will try to put in a table like we used in Activity Locking.
I am trying to be helpful, take no responsibility for content, spelling and other errors I make in translation Here is the link I am trying things on the talk page so the article page is blank until I or somebody gets it right. http://docs.moodle.org/en/Talk:Administration_changes
Hi Chris,
You should have contacted me to find out whether I was willing to commit my table to the Wiki. Actually I did not use Helen's page but created a new one (see my previous post).
Maybe Helen could delete the Administration_changes page now in order to avoid duplication?

Oh, sorry for causing confusion. 
I've moved Chris's talk page to http://docs.moodle.org/en/Talk:Location_of_admin_settings_in_1.7 in case there is anything which should be transferred to http://docs.moodle.org/en/Location_of_admin_settings_in_1.7.

That's OK, Helen. Just a case of "too may cooks...".

This table is now available in the MoodleDocs Wiki at http://docs.moodle.org/en/Location_of_admin_settings_in_1.7.
Feel free to amend or edit, but be careful of the table formatting in the Wiki!

Table now done in http://docs.moodle.org/en/Administration_changes
Figured one of the columns might be 2.x or perhaps comments.
Have fun editing. Much easier to find where to edit than the html code.

Yes, I had a hard time finding the setting to use blocks on module pages. Finally found it under a not at all obvious or logical category.
Perhaps a show all settings options on one page like they were before would be a useful way to find them.
