Right menu collapse disable - Beez20

[Eitandor]

I am using Joomla! 3.0.3 Stable with Beez3 and the module "All Modules" does not exist in the Module Manager, yet I still have the problem with the Open/Close Info on the right column.

I'm having this same whitespace problem with beez 20 in Joomla 2.5 but changing the wrapper widths does nothing for me http://gibsons.ca/jupgrade/

A complete answer to this post for Beez5 - Joomla 2.5:

First, open the template's index.php (in yoursitefolder/templates/beez5/index.php) and comment out the code using php comments, from line 73 to line 91 so it stays like this:

Code: Select all

<?php /*?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/<?php echo $this->template; ?>/javascript/hide.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
	var big ='<?php echo (int)$this->params->get('wrapperLarge');?>%';
	var small='<?php echo (int)$this->params->get('wrapperSmall'); ?>%';
	var altopen='<?php echo JText::_('TPL_BEEZ5_ALTOPEN', true); ?>';
	var altclose='<?php echo JText::_('TPL_BEEZ5_ALTCLOSE', true); ?>';
	var bildauf='<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/<?php echo $this->template; ?>/images/plus.png';
	var bildzu='<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/<?php echo $this->template; ?>/images/minus.png';
	var rightopen='<?php echo JText::_('TPL_BEEZ5_TEXTRIGHTOPEN', true); ?>';
	var rightclose='<?php echo JText::_('TPL_BEEZ5_TEXTRIGHTCLOSE', true); ?>';
	var fontSizeTitle='<?php echo JText::_('TPL_BEEZ5_FONTSIZE', true); ?>';
	var bigger='<?php echo JText::_('TPL_BEEZ5_BIGGER', true); ?>';
	var reset='<?php echo JText::_('TPL_BEEZ5_RESET', true); ?>';
	var smaller='<?php echo JText::_('TPL_BEEZ5_SMALLER', true); ?>';
	var biggerTitle='<?php echo JText::_('TPL_BEEZ5_INCREASE_SIZE', true); ?>';
	var resetTitle='<?php echo JText::_('TPL_BEEZ5_REVERT_STYLES_TO_DEFAULT', true); ?>';
	var smallerTitle='<?php echo JText::_('TPL_BEEZ5_DECREASE_SIZE', true); ?>';
</script>
<?php */?>

Second, still in index.php comment out from line 193 to line 197, so it stays like this:

Code: Select all

<?php /*?>
<div id="close">
	<a href="#" onclick="auf('right')">
		<span id="bild">
			<?php echo JText::_('TPL_BEEZ5_TEXTRIGHTCLOSE'); ?></span></a>
</div>
<?php */?>

Third, go to the template main style sheet (yoursite/templates/beez5/css/beez5.css), in line 859 you will find:

Code: Select all

#close span
{
	color:#000;
}

Right above it, add this to remove the whitespace:

Code: Select all

#close {
display:none;
}

And that's it, in short terms we have to comment out the php code (using php comments) and add to the css a new selector "#close" with the atribute "display:none;" so it is not displayed at all, so there's no open/close info link and no whitespace left

One word of advice, COMMENT OUT instead of DELETING the code! Otherwise, to get it back on can be a headache!

And Now i leave a QUESTION OPEN:
What if someone wishes to use this collapsible right column, but having it closed by default?

[FrankA3]

I use the collapsible right column, with adjustments I noted above. It works OK but not quite as designed. It would be better if someone can debug the original code and find the problems?

[Tomtech]

I think I have it. This appears to remove the "show Info" selector and show the right panel only when there is content to show for Joomla 3.2.

Find templates/beez3/javascript/hide.js:
Find the code snippet (line 142)

Code: Select all

	if (el.style.display == 'none') {
		el.setStyle('display', 'block');
		el.setProperty('aria-expanded', 'true');

		if (key != 'right') {
			el.slide('hide').slide('in');
			el.getParent().setProperty('class', 'slide');
			eltern = el.getParent().getParent();
			elternh = eltern.getElement('h3');
			elternh.addClass('high');
			elternbild = eltern.getElement('img');
			// elternbild.focus();
			el.focus();
			elternbild.setProperties( {
				alt : altopen,
				src : bildzu
			});
		}

		if (key == 'right') {
			document.id('right').setStyle('display', 'block');
			wrapperwidth(small);
			document.id('nav').removeClass('leftbigger');
			grafik = document.id('bild');
			document.id('bild').innerHTML = rightclose;
			grafik.focus();
		}
	} else {

This is modified to remove the entire key != and == 'right' sections so that it doesn't matter whether the key was somehow set to right or not.

Replace the above code with:

Code: Select all

	if (el.style.display == 'none') {
		el.setStyle('display', 'block');
		el.setProperty('aria-expanded', 'true');
			el.slide('hide').slide('in');
			el.getParent().setProperty('class', 'slide');
			eltern = el.getParent().getParent();
			elternh = eltern.getElement('h3');
			elternh.addClass('high');
			elternbild = eltern.getElement('img');
			// elternbild.focus();
			el.focus();
			elternbild.setProperties( {
				alt : altopen,
				src : bildzu
			});
	} else {

Next find templates/beez3/index.php:
Find the code snippet (line 158)

Code: Select all

<?php if ($showRightColumn) : ?>
    <div id="close">
        <a href="#" onclick="auf('right')">
        <span id="bild">
            <?php echo JText::_('TPL_BEEZ3_TEXTRIGHTCLOSE'); ?>
        </span>
        </a>
    </div>

    <aside id="right">
        <h2 class="unseen"><?php echo JText::_('TPL_BEEZ3_ADDITIONAL_INFORMATION'); ?></h2>
        <jdoc:include type="modules" name="position-6" style="beezDivision" headerLevel="3" />
        <jdoc:include type="modules" name="position-8" style="beezDivision" headerLevel="3" />
        <jdoc:include type="modules" name="position-3" style="beezDivision" headerLevel="3" />
    </aside><!-- end right -->
<?php endif; ?>

Remove the if clauses and the div which brings up the "Close Info" hyperlink.

The final code snippet should be:

Code: Select all

<aside id="right">
    <h2 class="unseen"><?php echo JText::_('TPL_BEEZ3_ADDITIONAL_INFORMATION'); ?></h2>
    <jdoc:include type="modules" name="position-6" style="beezDivision" headerLevel="3" />
    <jdoc:include type="modules" name="position-8" style="beezDivision" headerLevel="3" />
    <jdoc:include type="modules" name="position-3" style="beezDivision" headerLevel="3" />
</aside><!-- end right -->

If that doesn't continue as I hope, I'll come back and edit it.

Oh wow, well done. Cannot try it for the moment as I am moving countries and homeless... but pleased to see your effort. Thank you.

[freeplayedgames]

Thanks Guys. Very helpful.

Hi I am new to Joomla and am trying to set up a web site. I too would like to remove the "close info" and "open info" code and remove the white space on the right side. I cannot get any of the suggestions here to work. I am using a copy of the BEEZ3 template - is this the same as is located in the templates folder?

[jaydubya]

Add the following code to the end of template file position.css

#bild{ display:none !important}
