sidebar
You can have any card show up anywhere on any page.
By default, wagn is configured to use a Classic Layout that includes the *sidebar card on the right sidebar. You can simply edit that card to change the contents of the sidebar.
Example
How To
- Go your *sidebar card and click on Edit.
- Include one or more cards you want in the sidebar and click Save. Typically you'll want to include them in open views by typing "|open" after the card name, as you see we've done above.
Note: the default views for cards included in the sidebar (or anywhere outside the main card) is naked, rather than the usual content.
(For the sidebar here on wagn.org we've also modified *css to style our sidebar's home buttons links to Download, Docs, etc.)
Tips
- In addition to nesting, you can put text directly into *sidebar and it will show up outside of any card, directly on the page background.
- To give everyone their own custom card in the sidebar, include {{_user+menu}} (nothing special about "menu", it could be anything). People who are signed in will be offered to "Add |your name|+menu". To prevent people who are not signed in from seeing "Add Anonymous+menu" there, go ahead and create Anonymous+menu and set its permissions so that only people who are signed in can see it.
- To have things in the sidebar that are only visible to some people, add a role and assign each of them to it, then include a card in the sidebar with the private content and set it so it can only be seen by that role. See permissions.
- You can change where the sidebar appears on a page (or whether it appears at all) — see custom layouts.
- You can see any page without the sidebar by adding "?layout=noside" to the URL. (See web address for everything.)
