How to hide columns? was created by hervemlam

Hello,

I'd like to know how to hide columns in the backend list of items?
Of course I can easily uncheck boxes this way:

But it stays only for the session, and I have to do the job again next time I connect.
Isn't there a way to do it for good? I've searched in the global configuration but couldn't find it.

Regards,

Hello

One very quick solution and effective solution
is to extend the lifetime of the cookie that holds information about hidden columns

maybe it should live more than current session
e.g. make its lifetime be 3 months

anyway in v3.2.0 we have a superscript number on columns button that shows how many columns are hidden

Also,
besides remembering hidden columns it is probably good to add
component and usergroup parameters for selecting which columns should be completely hidden from the UI

Hello,

You're right: it has to do with cookies.
The point is that I often browse Internet inside a private navigation session, for which the cookies are useless, aren't they?

Isn't there a way to link the choice of hidden columns to the connected user? (I mean, in the DB, not in cookies.)

Good night.

Hello

the reason that we have "User groups" in FLEXIcontent backend
is exactly to add FLEXIcontent configuration per user group
but now these attributes are empty

A quicker solution could be to add this to our backen "user / author" configuration form

Hello,

I think you mean:
Global Configuration > FLEXIcontent > Backend Managers > Items Manager > Appearence > Custom filters => listbox empty!

Otherwise, observing the page source code, I think I should add:

Code:

toggle_column('mainChooseColBox', 'adminListTableFCitems', 1, 0);
toggle_column('mainChooseColBox', 'adminListTableFCitems', 4, 0);
toggle_column('mainChooseColBox', 'adminListTableFCitems', 7, 0);
toggle_column('mainChooseColBox', 'adminListTableFCitems', 8, 0);
toggle_column('mainChooseColBox', 'adminListTableFCitems', 10, 0);
toggle_column('mainChooseColBox', 'adminListTableFCitems', 11, 0);
toggle_column('mainChooseColBox', 'adminListTableFCitems', 16, 0);
toggle_column('mainChooseColBox', 'adminListTableFCitems', 17, 0);

But where should I put that?? :dry:

Good night.

Hello

we have changed this recently
- the cookie will now be persistent across sessions

so you no longer need to re-hide columns

(only when you update FLEXIcontent to next version , the cookie will be cleared, to make sure any new / removed columns will appear properly)
