Hide Joomla 4 Vertical menu (Phoca Top Menu)

[shoulders]

I would like an option within the Phoca Top Module to completely hide the Joomla 4 Admin menu because I am never going to use that horrid thing.

NB: There is nowhere to add a feature request for Phoca modules (unless they belong to a larger component).

Thanks (this is a must have module)

Hi, you can disable the admin menu in modules (administration):



I didn't test the latest J! 4 Beta, but in Beta 2, there is still displayed left panel even there is no menu. But this is then a question on Joomla! core developers.

is it possible to inject CSS into the admin area with an on off toggle in the module?

to convert

Code: Select all

<div id="sidebar-wrapper" class="sidebar-wrapper sidebar-menu">

to

Code: Select all

<div id="sidebar-wrapper" class="sidebar-wrapper sidebar-menu" style="display: none;">

Hi,

with CSS:

Code: Select all

#sidebar-wrapper {
display: none;   
} 

Version 4.0.0-beta5.dev

but, as Jan said, it's a question to Joomla! core developers.

Kind regards
Christine

@christine - thanks for the info.

I will add the option myself when i get time to do some testing, should not take too long.

I just today discovered this module - brilliant thank you! Why the Joomla devs thought the sidebar menu monstrosity was a good idea I'll never understand. They CLAIM it was accessibility... didn't improve my accessibility.

I saw that this option (to totally hide the frankenstein sidebar) wasn't added to the module. Will it be?

I never got around to adding this and sharing the code. I am trying to avoid Joomla 4 because of the admin.

It is an easy thing to do though

LOL!! Yes, easy for someone who knows programming - sadly I never got around to learning more than some HTML and CSS. Maybe I'll see if there's someone on Fiverr that will do it.

Something I noticed was that, on a phone, the Phoca menu totally disappears - no hamburger even. Now I don't spend my life editing on a phone, but today was one of those days. Having a menu there would have been very useful.

Hi, yes, the top menu is advantageous for normal displays, its advantage is precisely the width, so it is not displayed on mobiles, because it would not fit there. A standard menu is simply needed on mobiles.
