Same sidebar everywhere

[Li3D]

Hi,

I thought the sidebar was global since version 4 but apparently that's not the case for my activity page, my forums list page and my topics list page.

My home page sidebar is a bit huge et change often.

I would like it to be replicated wherever there may be a sidebar.

Tried to play with sidebar template widgetContainer without succes 😞 

Anyway to achieve this ?

Thanks 🙂

A global sidebar would break certain pages or conflict with the fixed sidebar content that exist on certain pages.

But it’s really not much trouble to put the same widgets in the sidebar slot on multiple pages.  In case you need a lot of configuration or you have WYSIWYG content, create all the widgets as Pages ACP blocks. Then you can reuse them in multiple places and edit them globally in the ACP.

As opentype said, there are few pages which aren't able to have a sidebar because it would destroy the design (calendar, profile) but I think there's an app in the marketplace which allows admins to define global sidebar blocks which would be shown globally

I have more than 10 widgets with particular settings, that's really annoying to maintain 😞

I don't want sidebare where it's not possible, just the same where there is already (home page, activity page, topics list and messages list) 😛

Since this is not possible today, you might make a suggestion for it in the Feature Suggestion forum so that the ask is not lost in the sea of support requests.

I'm going to do that, but I think it should be done without too many lines of code by modifying the theme 🤔

You could post this in the marketplace requests forum if you would like to employ someone to do this
