ragtek Sidebar Toggler

[ragtek]

Issues I feel need addressing I appreciate the time you put in Ragtek but the 3 issues (below) really need addressing which would make this usable.
Thanks again for the work you've done so far.

Major Issues

1. Sidebar doesn't remember what state you left it in.
2. Only works on default style, it really needs to work on custom styles (all styles).
3. Toggle Icon appears in the thread listing page and postbit this should be hidden.

All 3 points are on the todo list and have a high priority, also to remove the template edits. (we have some great ideas, but no time )

Placement of the toggle icon. (nothing major).

Where should i add it? I'm open for suggestions

The only place I can think of atm for the placement of the toggle icon would be the right side of the sidebar. It's probably the most obvious choice but not necessarily the best choice.

Update
Beta2 released

Finally i managed to remove 1 template edit
Now the Button only appears if the user have javascript activated

If you upgrade from a prev. Version, you have to remove your breadcumb template edit

Ha, nice job Ragtek

ragtek wäre das icon nicht besser in der hellblauen Fläche rechts neben dem Suchfeld aufgehoben?

@all I tell ragtek a better place for the toggle icons, right from search form

Nice work Ragtek.

I'll wait for this excellent add-on and re-install it when the 3 major issues I listed are resolved.

Minor Issues

1. Placement of the toggle icon. (nothing major).
2. JS animation a little smoother.

2=> you could just edit the extra.css file for every style

The next version will include a style property for the path
3. is also already fixed

1. Suggestion for CSS:
   

   .breadcrumb .switchside_r,
   .breadcrumb .switchside_l
   {
       ...
       cursor:pointer;
   }

2. File sidebar.js:
   

               this.$togglebutton = $('<span id="switchButton" class="switchside_r" title="toggle sidebar"></span> ')

   Phrase toggle sidebar hardcoded.

Hello ragtek. Great addon. Have been waiting for something like this.
Is there a way to get an Icon to the Sidebar as shown in the Picture. Its just an Idea for how it could look like.

thx for the pointer idea

Because of the phrase=> ATM i have no clue, how to include the phrase without an extra template edit (I've seen that there are some template hooks, but hadn't time to check it)

Excellent work ragtek. So I know the only issue that needs to be dealt with is the save state so let's say you hide the side bar it remembers. That issue still needs addressing?

No rush Ragtek I was just curious. And, excellent work once again I see you just released another add-on.

We need a thumbsup smiley on here.

I bought a javascript book and learned some stuff....

Update.

Changehistory:
Version 1.1
The status of the sidebar will be saved in a cookie.
So if your users hide it, they don't see it, until they want to show it

Has the file been updated?
