Replace the top menu with a side menu

[IgorA100]

I propose to discuss the option of adding a side menu like here: https://www.bootstrap.gallery/demos/milestone-admin-dashboard/index.html#

Go for it, but it has to be configurable. Not everyone wants that.

Seems like a good idea, I do agree on configurable.

[IgorA100]

Those. I have to add an option in settings to be able to use the current menu or a new one.
Right ?

yes

404 on the link showing the example and appears no argument as a configurable option. So yes build an option to use current or new one or make a dynamic menu that can be moved as user likes.

I may actually get around to merging some code that would at least provide a sidebar if turned on. I want to also make the top navbar really completely configurable in terms of content.

Anyways, going to re-open this and put it on the 1.39 roadmap.

I wanted to implement this menu, but I haven't managed to structure the sections and levels of the menu in my head yet, and also understand what to display in the side menu and what in the top one.
Later I worked on the Montage page for viewing recorded events with the new Timeline and haven't finished it yet (there's really a lot of work and nuances...). Therefore, the question with the side menu remains open.
Perhaps it's worth discussing what sections and levels are needed in the menu?

Here's an interesting option: https://github.com/azouaoui-med/pro-sidebar-template/tree/master
Demo: https://azouaoui-med.github.io/pro-sidebar-template
It seems to work fine on mobile devices too.
Take a look when you have time and tell me what you think.

Looks fine. No problem with it. Side bars are not hard these days, lots of options.

Point Is, let's add it, but it has to be configurable. Some people will want top menus as is, others may want a left menu.

Some people will want top menus as is, others may want a left menu.

That is, duplicate the information in the left and top menu?
And make it possible to switch between using the top/side menu

Side bars are not hard these days, lots of options.

Yes, but many of them are either not very convenient, or buggy, or have complicated code....

[connortechnology]

Yes. I want to make the content in the header configurable as well. But that's for 1.39+
