Hide menu options

Feature Ideas
1

Hello, I would like to propose an improvement (if possible) for future versions of the tryton SAO.

The upgrade consists of the MENU.

  • When opening a menu option (example: party) and then opening any other (Example: SALE) the one that was opened first (Party) is not hidden. This makes working a bit overwhelming because the menus keep opening up with a very long list and it makes the work a bit difficult.

I don’t know if it is possible to do this.

Thank you

This is usually called an accordion menu.
I think we must be careful because such design tends to require more clicks from the user than without.
So I think we should make it smart for example it could happen only if there is a scrollbar with the current nodes expanded.
If we implement it, I think the feature should be generic for any tree view. Also I think we should define the depth level to consider a node to be in the “accordion”. For example we may want that the behavior applies only to top-level nodes so other nodes are collapsed if the user expand a new top-level node. But this could be done also for the second level.

So I think the configuration could be done in the xml like this:

<tree accordion="2">
    <field />
</tree>

What would be a level 1 and a level 2 for you? because I think the best thing would be to change the model: party, sale, purchase …

Accordion of level 1 would collapse other node of the first level if a new node of level 1 is expanded.
Accordion of level 2 is the same but when a node of level 2 or another node of level 1 is expanded.
etc.

In the image I indicate that it is the 1,2,3 accordion … am I wrong? It is that I do not quite understand for you that it is a level 1 or a 2.

Thanks

No this is the idea.

So I understand that if you have a level 2 accordion open, for example Party - Parties and you open Product - Products, this first (Party) would be hidden leaving only Product?

Yes but also with level 1. The level 2 will make that if you first expand the"Products" menu and then expand “Categories”, the “Products” will be collapsed but not if the level is 1.
