How to close/hide by default sidebar pane (right side Dashboard) in Sugarcrm 7.7

Hi Shyam Gaikwad,

You can close sidebar using modifying record.js initialize method.

I created a record.js into custom/clients/base/views/record/ folder with following code;

({
    extendsFrom: "RecordView",
    initialize: function(options) {
        this._super('initialize', [options]);
        var defaultLayout = this.closestComponent('sidebar');
        if (defaultLayout && defaultLayout.isSidePaneVisible() ) {
            defaultLayout.trigger('sidebar:toggle');
        }
    }
})

Best Regards

Hi Tevfik Tümer

We used to use this function isSidePaneVisible() in Sugar v7.7, but in v7.8 it fails. Please advise.

Thanks,

Kate

Hi Kate Gozak,

Please Override _render method instead of initialize in record view.

create record.js file like this 

custom/clients/base/views/record/record.js

({  
    extendsFrom: "RecordView", 

    _render: function() {
        this._super('_render');
        var defaultLayout = this.closestComponent('sidebar');  
        if (defaultLayout && defaultLayout.isSidePaneVisible() ) {  
            defaultLayout.trigger('sidebar:toggle');  
        }
    }  
})
