Checklist

• I've searched through the current issues to make sure this feature hasn't been requested already.

Motivation

When publishing a project, a form option should make it optional to display the session Metadata in the client

Suggested solution

A simple check option in the form

Alternatives considered

@Raruto @volterra79 I suggest to implement it with more options, i.e.:

• Left-bar open on close at client runtime
• Set visibility of other sections: searches, bookmarks, print

How do you prefer this options inside the config ?

[volterra79]

@wlorenzetti i think that a configuration can be a project level:

sidebar: { print: { show: true}, metadata: {show: false}, ... }

@Raruto what dou you thin about?

@wlorenzetti

Set visibility of other sections: searches, bookmarks, print

Generate some custom css (server side) and then include it on the page, eg:

.sidebar-menu > li:is(#metadata, #spatialbookmarks, #print) { display: none; }

Left-bar open on close at client runtime

Yes, as I was saying, you just need to inject some css rules (on the fly) into client template:

# somwhere within your djang app 

elements_to_hide = ['#metadata', '#spatialbookmarks', '#print'] # here your django options.. 😃
SETTINGS.CLIENT_CUSTOM_CSS = f".sidebar-menu > li:is({', '.join(elements_to_hide)})"

# https://github.com/g3w-suite/g3w-client/blob/0322c7bf066eecd92617b7f4c4d7f06c2448ba77/src/index.html

{% if SETTINGS.CLIENT_CUSTOM_CSS %}
  <style>{{ SETTINGS.CLIENT_CUSTOM_CSS | safe }}</style>
{% endif %}

---

Then, if you're feeling fancy, you could even add two text areas to each project, so anyone can customize any project as they wish..

and then append it to any previous (server side generated) custom css:

SETTINGS.CLIENT_CUSTOM_CSS += TEXT_AREA_CUSTOM_CSS
