Large Scale Planes Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 One of the questions I've been asked regarding the user interface for our newly-upgraded v4 platform is whether users can hide the side bar. Apparently at least one of our users used to do this with v3, but as far as I can tell, it's not possible with v4 (except globally). I thought I'd check here for a definitive answer, however!

Large Scale Planes Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 So this can't be done natively from within the application itself? I have a number of users requesting this feature, and an equal number of users wanting to keep the sidebar visible. A user preference is the obvious answer, and it used to be possible in earlier versions. I'm averse to plugins and extensions, so prefer not to use them unless I'm really desperate.

Rhett Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 To hide a sidebar all you do is remove all blocks from it, and it won't show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Create a theme copy of your theme In the copy theme, remove two sidebar loading codes in global template {template="sidebar" if="theme.sidebar_position == 'left'" app="core" group="global" params="'left'"} and {template="sidebar" if="theme.sidebar_position == 'right'" app="core" group="global" params="'right'"} A user who wants a no-sidebar uses a copy of a theme, he wants with a sidebar uses a basic theme.

That's fine, but my point is, some members want it, and some don't, so I'm trying to find a way to cater for both - just like we used to be able to do.

Kev Ok, I misunderstood, there isn't a user option, this is normally something the admins set as they want it, users adapt etc. We don't have the ability to hide this per user I'm afraid at this time.

Thanks, Rhett. If you have anywhere that I can formally submit that as a feature request/suggestion, I'll do so when I get a moment. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel R Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 You can also hide sidebar on mobile, but there's no per-user setting. It's your community and your theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
