for Nextcloud and Owncloud
Rebuild of the old Menu on the left side for owncloud.
Advantages compared to the default menu of owncloud / nextcloud are reduced clicks to open an application, as the sidebar is always visible on wide screens (wider than 1100px). Otherwise, the standard drop-down menu is available on smaller screens. It lays the focus more on all installed apps and not only on the files app.
Forked from https://github.com/SansPseudoFix/Old_menu (discontinued). Differences: This version is without the tiny Icons (therefore normal sized) and with a fix max-width of 100px for the Menu. It looks like the original old menu.
- download zip
- go to /apps folder
- unzip
- change name to
classic_sidemenu - activate Classic SideMenu
Alternative
- git clone this repo to /apps direcotry with
git clone https://github.com/mtraeger/classic_sidemenu.git classic_sidemenu - activate in app menu
Problems could arise when using this app with the original old_menu app.
For use with NextCloud-Blue use
background-color: #0082c9;
instead of #1d2d44 for Owncloud in css/classic_sidemenu.css.
You can remove this line also for dark grey.
On upgrades of owncloud / nextcloud the acces rights have to be correct. If you cloned or extracted with wrong user permissions, you have to chown (and maybe also chmod +w) the installation directory of this app for the web user (normally www-data).
