redmine_smile_togglesidebar

Redmine plugin that adds a button to hide the right sidebar

How it works

It stores a session cookie for each controller and action, to memorize the state of the sidebar display

To enable the [+] / [-] button

• The activation of the [+] / [-] button is now automatic when a sidebar is present

Remarks

• The Sidebar display state is not persisted between sessions in a cookie
• As there is no hook at the beginning of the body layout, we use the following trick : the button is inserted just before the flash messages (even if no message)
• Fixed an issue with https when ssl managed by a front proxy (request.ssl? does not work)
• Full tests have been added
• Compatible with Redmine 1.2.1 -> 4.0.1
• Compatible with Relative root set with :

Redmine::Utils::relative_url_root

TODO

• remove duplication of session_name_show_sidebar method
• Ask Jean-Philippe Lang a new hook at the beginning of the layout body
• Implement a cross-session cookie version ?
• finish refresh sidebar state on focus

INSTALLATION

• With git

# go to your Redmine app root
cd plugins
git clone https://github.com/Smile-SA/redmine_smile_togglesidebar.git
# Restart / Reload your Redmine

• Without git : The same just copy the plugin archive in the plugins folder with the correct name : redmine_smile_togglesidebar

• No plugin migration

• New hide sidebar icon will automatically be available in any page where the Sidebar is enabled.

Enjoy !
