Need a way to prevent generation and displaying of control side-bar #55

Closed catull closed 6 years ago

catull commented 6 years ago

I'd like to switch off the control side-bar.

TwanoO67 commented 6 years ago

you can already by removing the widget in the menu, no ? ( As by default it is switch closed)

catull commented 6 years ago

The problem is that in certain situations you can accidentally tab into it and it opens up. I want it to not be rendered at all, to avoid the situation described entirely.

How do you "remove the widget" ? Why do I have to remove it ?

If I can - at compile time or during initialisation - specify a flag not to include it at all ? This is very much similar to the configuration which controls the notifications, messages etc.

I have no need for it in my web app.

This is what happens currently.

When I start the app, I log on. The page is shown like this: Initial screen

I hit the tabular key about 10-12 times, the app shows this: After at least 10 tab key hits.

Now, the only way out is to hit the tab key 3 or 4 more times, and I am back at the initial screen above.

This is something I want to exclude, no user will accept to have to click 4 tab keys to get back where she/he was.

At any point in time, you can run into this situation. So far, only I have discovered it, but it is only a matter of time until a real user spots it.

The cleanest way for me is to not have it generated, at all, the control side-bar.

By the way, you have that problem too in bootstraping-ngx-admin-lte.

Here is how you can reproduce it.

Clone the repo. cd into that repo npm install npm run start access it via browser tab 15 times, you get screen shot 2018-03-13 at 11 13 50

Clicking on the home icon or the cog wheels is not doing anything; not int he sense that you can make the control side-bar disappear.

You have to press the tab key about 5 more times to get out of it.

In the example of bootstraping-ngx-admin-lte, there is luckily another way out.

You can click twice on the blue cog wheel, between the user-box and the logout button. Then the side-bar disappears.

But then why do you have two cog wheels ? Only one works, the other one is purely decorational and unfunctional.

I would remove the second cog wheel entirely. Also, I would look into how to make the home icon work in this situation.

Perhaps I would reconsider the control side-bar in this case.

Hello,

Ok I was not aware of the tabular key thing.
