Hide side-panel from Jenkins View

[Martin B.]

Hi all!

The Build Pipeline Plugin hides the side-panel (the column on the left
side with the available tasks, buildQueue and executors).

Is this also possible with any other View? (Dashboard, ... ?)

cheers,

I have found a workaround/hack. Each View allows for a description. When
I add the following code to the description, the side-panel will be
dynamically removed. (Pretty horrible IMHO.)

- - - -
<p style="text-align:right; color:LightGrey">(Note: Description contains
custom JS!)</p>
<script>
var sidePanelTD=document.getElementById('side-panel');
if(sidePanelTD) {
sidePanelTD.parentNode.removeChild(sidePanelTD);
}
</script>
- - - -

cheers,
Martin

I have now found another workaround. (Display is not as good, as the
side panel is still shown, but it is less "hacky".)

If I only care about the links in the side-panel not being displayed,
then I can use a [Dashboard View][1] portlet of type "Jenkins job list"
and then show this portlet in full-screen (via
.../portlet/dashboard_portlet_#/) the side-panel is still displayed, but
doesn't contain any links.

Any feedback appreciated.

cheers,
Martin

Hi Martin,

Good idea of achieving it through JS. But, this isn't working for me :( Am I missing any imports?
