Widget collapsing

By ihayredinov 3492 days ago

Anybody uses widget collapsing? I feel that it makes no sense from a UX point of view, and bloats our CSS and markup, and want to get rid of it in 3.0. If there are strong feelings about it, we can keep it, but move it out of the widget menu into a widget header.

Yes, it's very important for all our current and future projects.

I like this idea:

Code snippet:

<div class="elgg-widget-header">
    <h3 class="elgg-widget-title">Direct Chat</h3>
    
    <div class="elgg-menu-widget right">
        
        <span class="elgg-menu-item-badge" title="3 New Messages" data-toggle="tooltip">3</span>
        
        <button class="elgg-menu-item-collapse" data-widget="collapse" type="button">
            <i class="fa fa-minus"></i>
        </button>
        
        <button class="elgg-menu-item-settings" data-widget="edit" title="Options" data-toggle="tooltip" type="button">
            <i class="fa fa-gear"></i>
        </button>
        
        <button class="elgg-menu-item-delete" data-widget="delete" type="button">
            <i class="fa fa-times"></i>
        </button>
    
    </div>
</div>
