<ul></ul><p>I (and a few of my clients) have created themes where project modules are on the side with a vertical menu. I think this is the best option because web users are familiar with vertical navigation menus and the menus would all have a set height (instead of a variable width like now).</p> Redmine - Defect #6271: Too many tabs on project viewshttps://www.redmine.org/issues/6271?journal_id=200182010-09-05T21:57:41ZJean-Baptiste Barth
<ul></ul><p>Maybe "New issue" could disappear (see <a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Feature: Make the "New issue" menu item optional (Closed)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/6204">#6204</a>). And Docs + Files should be merged. I don't know if we need to do something before 1.1, but I don't like having so many tabs in current trunk, and I suspect others to agree.</p>
<p>That said, I really really loved previews of Shane&Peter theme, with vertical left menu. Are you/they still working on it ? How & where does it display sidebar ?</p> Redmine - Defect #6271: Too many tabs on project viewshttps://www.redmine.org/issues/6271?journal_id=200202010-09-05T22:33:25ZEric Davis

<p>It's done (with some minor tweaks over time). It's using CSS and a custom menu generator but nothing too complex.</p> Redmine - Defect #6271: Too many tabs on project viewshttps://www.redmine.org/issues/6271?journal_id=212242010-10-11T11:22:42ZJean-Baptiste Barth

<p>Instead of fixing the core menu so that it will hold more items, you removed two that belong there. Since adding those two menu items, I've used both the Calendar and Gantt daily. Having Calendar and Gantt buried inside the Issues module is wrong. Please reconsider this decision and add the Calendar and Gantt back in.</p> Redmine - Defect #6271: Too many tabs on project viewshttps://www.redmine.org/issues/6271?journal_id=222292010-11-07T18:56:29ZJean-Philippe Langjp_lang@yahoo.fr

<p>If these tabs are really needed, the menu should have been fixed before adding them. Nobody requested them here for now so I think that a plugin to add them is a fair solution.</p> Redmine - Defect #6271: Too many tabs on project viewshttps://www.redmine.org/issues/6271?journal_id=222302010-11-07T19:11:20ZFelix Schäfer

<p>I agree that the place they are currently at (in the issue list) is cumbersome at best, unintuitive at worst. Why not put the Roadmap with them in the issue list then? I'd like to keep Gantt and calendar in the core menu too.</p> Redmine - Defect #6271: Too many tabs on project viewshttps://www.redmine.org/issues/6271?journal_id=222312010-11-07T19:36:21ZJean-Philippe Langjp_lang@yahoo.fr
<ul></ul><p>Felix, I'm not saying that the gantt and calendar tabs are useless or not.<br />The problem here (read the ticket subject) is that the current menu can not hold so many items. A user with all permissions and an average screen can not even see the settings tab.<br />So, let's fix the menu first and add the tabs back if needed. This is not a quick fix and we should define how the new menu should look like before changing anything.</p> Redmine - Defect #6271: Too many tabs on project viewshttps://www.redmine.org/issues/6271?journal_id=222322010-11-07T20:34:24ZEric Davis
<ul></ul><p>Forget it, I'll just keep my vertical menu code private. I've already had to fork/patch some of Redmine's code due to disagreements in the features and UI, this will just be another one.</p>
<p>Felix: You might want to give the heads up in the forums about this change. The Gantt and Calender tabs are present in 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 (stable) so this is going to confuse people if 1.0.4 suddenly loses them.</p> Redmine - Defect #6271: Too many tabs on project viewshttps://www.redmine.org/issues/6271?journal_id=222332010-11-07T21:05:02ZJean-Baptiste Barth

I'd really like to see you share it with the community.</p>
<p>Just to show you what kind of problem I wanted to point out, so that it becomes less abstract, here are two screenshots.</p>

<p>I think everybody's trying to make Redmine a better piece of software here, so keep being constructive everyone. This issue is no big deal at all, we just need to find a consensus decision on what to do before 1.1.</p> Redmine - Defect #6271: Too many tabs on project viewshttps://www.redmine.org/issues/6271?journal_id=222352010-11-07T22:32:58ZJean-Philippe Langjp_lang@yahoo.fr
<ul><li><strong>Resolution</strong> changed from <i>Duplicate</i> to <i>Wont fix</i></li></ul><p>Eric, I've reverted <a class="changeset" title="Removed gantt and calendar menu items that do not fit into the core project menu (#6271)." href="https://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/repository/svn/revisions/4381">r4381</a> so that it fits well with your private code.<br />Thanks for contributing to an open source software. I'll try to fix the core menu as soon as I can.</p>
