Feedback zur Admin-Seitenleiste bei ausgewählter Dropdown-Navigation im Header

[tobiaseigen]

Thanks @pmusaraj for pointing out that bug and thanks @martin for the quick fix! If anybody else notices buggy, inconsistent behavior here, please let us know. It should always take you to the admin sidebar when you select ADMIN from the header pulldown, and not ever display the admin navigation in the header pulldown. That was a bug.

@Isambard

Yes, I preferred the old top nav to the new admin sidebar. Is there a setting to revert UI?

@moin is right if you want the legacy admin navigation you want to remove any groups from the admin sidebar enabled groups setting. Also be sure navigation menu is set to Header Dropdown.

But to be clear, we have moved the admin navigation in Discourse to a sidebar layout. Let me quote myself from above in case anybody missed it:

@tobiaseigen

We are not going to be able to prioritize the experience on sites with navigation menu set to “header dropdown” as we move forward. There will not be a “header dropdown” version of the admin sidebar.

Also we expect most sites will use navigation menu set to “sidebar” which has been the default for over a year now. If your site doesn’t need to use the header dropdown because of your own customizations which make the sidebar navigation less suitable, you should switch to “sidebar” navigation.

If you’re not able to or ready to switch now, then you might be a candidate for not enabling the admin sidebar for the moment.
