Add option to toggle backs from generated interface #111

Closed jhauberg closed 8 years ago

jhauberg commented 8 years ago

If a project is built with backs, it would be useful being able to toggle them on/off in the front-end interface.

This toggle would have to be hidden in case a project is not built with backs.

I think this could be implemented simply by adding a special CSS class to the pages containing backs. It probably wouldn't add any styling, but would make it possible to find only those page elements in the DOM.

One issue with this feature: page numbers would be off (they are generated while building).

Maybe the logo and page number tags could just be removed?

Alternatively, for a visual fix, instead of completely hiding away the pages with backs, they could just be "minimized" (with CSS styles). This still doesn't solve the problem when printing, though.

I suppose the footer could also just be updated using some javascript... Should be simple enough to do a count of all page elements that are not hidden. This does not fix the issue for any cards using the _page_number or _pages_total field, but honestly, those should be done away with, anyway.

So in conclusion: maybe just remove page numbers from the template, and make dynamically using javascript.
