Feature request - Home Page Actions

Question

Hi!

I have a feature request regarding home page actions.

I would LOVE the to be able to collapse and expand action groups on the home page. We have a multi customer set-up and thus actions per customer. As we're adding more and more customers to our Adaxes installation, this feature becomes more and more wanted.

Hello,

In 2014 we are going to release a new version of Adaxes, in which we will considerably improve the look and feel of Adaxes Web Interface. The functionality you are asking for is already planned for that version.

Would it be able to implement this functionality now? Should be able to do this with a jquery?

We are not planning to implement this functionality until the release of Adaxes 2014.1.

However, if you want, you can implement a certain version of the feature for yourself with the help of jQuery. Adaxes already uses jQuery on many pages of the Web interface, and it is already connected to the Home Page. You do not need to connect jQuery to Adaxes Web Interface. Web Interface home page is displayed by the Default.aspx file located in the root directory of every Web interface type. So, you can create a JavaScript file that will be responsible for collapsing/expanding the Home Page Action groups on Adaxes Web interface and connect the file to Adaxes Web interface by adding it to the end of the Default.aspx file. In your JavaScript file, you can subscribe to different events that occur on the Web interface Home Page (such as OnLoad for the whole page or OnClick for the headers of Home Page Action groups) and perform collapsing/expanding of the Home Page Action groups.

To edit the Default.aspx file:

1. On the computer where your Adaxes Web Interface is installed, open the folder for the Adaxes Web Interface site that you want to configure. By default, Adaxes Web Interface sites are installed to the following folders:

   • Administrators:
     C:\Program Files\Softerra\Adaxes 3\Web Interface\Admin\
   • Help Desk:
     C:\Program Files\Softerra\Adaxes 3\Web Interface\HelpDesk\
   • Self-Service:
     C:\Program Files\Softerra\Adaxes 3\Web Interface\SelfService\

2. Find the Default.aspx file and open it with any text editor.

Thank you!

We've now implemented this function in our enviorment (just a very basic js).

If anyone else wants this, here's the script bit we added at the bottom of the Default.aspx file for the webinterface:

  <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
      $(".homePagePnl-itemGroupTitlePnl span").each(function() {
        $(this).html("<a href=\"#\">" + $(this).html() + "</a>");
      });
      $(".homePagePnl-itemGroupTitlePnl").click(function() {
        $(this).parent().children(".homePagePnl-itemPnl").slideToggle(100);
      });
      $(".homePagePnl-itemPnl").toggle();
    });
  </script>

Great! Thank you for sharing that!
