Make the elements-list more clean with filter-tabs #23

Open JensWolff opened 9 years ago

JensWolff commented 9 years ago

If you develop large sites with MODX, the elements-tab becomes longer and longer while you add features to the project. After a while the list becomes extremly long if you not always close the element-type-tabs everytime. Therefore it would be great to have a handy filter-functionality, that hides the element-types you are not actually working on. Here is a short animation how this could look: modx-custom-elements-sidebar-filter

With the help of this quick-filtering you can navigate very fast between the different element-types, if you activate the filters at the top. If you click on a filter that is already active, the filtering clears and all elemt-types are visible at once under each other (like it is by default at the moment)

This should be doable just with basic JS which shows and hides the different-element-types. And it should be persistent after reloading, so that the filter stays active even if you reload or change the site you are visiting.
