Add URL Parameter to expand sidebar

LaurenKuyer — Wed, 29 Mar 2023 16:24:03 GMT

It would be great if there was a URL Parameter in ExB that would expand a sidebar. I would like to have buttons that can control the opening of the sidebar. Are there any workarounds or is this in the pipeline?

Thank you!

Hi @LaurenKuyer,

Currently, most URL parameters are built for framework level - widgets parameters have not been covered yet. We are working on more parameters of widgets (focusing on map related as it is of high priority), however I think your description could be valid - thank you for bring it up. We will evaluate the enhancement possibility based on the general feedback along the way.

Hi @LaurenKuyer

You can now use Button click message action provided by the button widget to toggle your sidebar widgets. Please refer to Button interaction options for more details. Please have a try and you're welcomed with any further issues. Thanks!
