Bug description

related to: #60495

this is closed as in: solved

It isn't:
Currently the only way to "hide" the button is to use the presets option, Since it's hard coded in the code, (not stored in config.php, nor in the database, I checked).

There's no preset option with the button disabled that fits our use case,

Since there's no way to disable this without changing the values in the code, this creates an issue for us.

Steps to reproduce

1. use any nextlcoud with the new app menu
2. use Quickpreset default (with the least options set for maximum adjustability)
3. Always a link to then nextcloud appstore.

Expected behavior

'appstore_link_shown' => 0,

in config.php, or through occ command:

occ config:app:set core appstore_link_shown --value=false --type=boolean

Please fix this to be configurable

This is with 34.0.4?

Were you still logged in as an admin by chance? The setting is ignored for admins.

occ config:app:set core appstore_link_shown --value=false --type=boolean

The above should work; not your other example though since it's not a config.php parameter.

I was able to get it to work using 34.0.4 and running your command: php occ config:app:set core appstore_link_shown --value=false --type=boolean

You need to be a non-administrator user in order for it to be hidden. Admins will always see it. Could that be the problem?

I'm aware of the difference between admin and a user: An admin gets a link to apps config section, users a link to https://apps.nextcloud.com.
Ok, this is weird, posting this bug I: copied and pasted the command here, I've copied and pasted the command from here back and now I get:

Config value 'appstore_link_shown' for app 'core' is now set to '0', stored as boolean in fast cache
Note: When this key is not set, the link is also hidden while a valid subscription is available or while "appstoreenabled" is disabled. Setting this key explicitly takes precedence over both.

I didn't get this message the last time I tried, I think something went wrong in the building of the last one, since this container had the custom fix in it.

my bad i guess, sorry
