Looks good, but... It's very good idea to add an icon in this menu for Hide/Show menu. And I think we must improve this for mobile. So for users from mobile devices menu should be hidden by default.

Something like this(from Joomla):

Here is note about Q/A:

• test to create a custom dashboard with name <img src=1 onerror=alert(document.domain)> -> check that the left menu is not too wide and the text is wrapped as expected

Here are four version of the proposed left menu designs:

Version 1

Version 2

Version 3

Version 4

Summary

which one do you prefer?

Do you maybe have any other suggestion?

They are nice, version 1 is my favorite.

+1 for version 1

version 1

fyi: moved to 2.15.0 milestone

Note: requirement: for accessibility purpose, contrast between foreground and background colors should be high enough. (from #7093)

Version 1 👍

Version 3 header looks cool. My ideal version would be a v.1 with header from v.3

Once we have the left menu we should remove ZenMode I think. The left menu would be ideally "collapsible" / "minimizable" meaning it would maybe take only a width of 40px instead of 260px by showing only little icons or little letters.

Tentatively moving to 2.15.0 as it would be awesome++ to have left menu in our LTS version 💯

design no2 is "sexier" but i also consider it needs a more obvious background for current selection

Everyone, the left menu is available in latest Piwik beta 16 ❤️

if you have any comment Re: accessibility or other feedback, please post here or create a new issue.

Just wanna add that Piwik Demo has it already (2.15.0-b16) for you to try...

http://demo.piwik.org/

Mr @jdeyla and I we did already an a11y report on menu in the past. Does anyone gave an eye on it?

It's a wiki page https://github.com/piwik/piwik/wiki/Piwik-Accessibility-Analysis#menu

I've updated the a11y analisys wiki page removing already fixed paragraphs. There still some mess in the areas still mentioned in the document.

Talking about the left side menu, the main problems are:

• menu is not focusable browsing by keyboard
• menu should be WAI-ARIA

I'm trying to figure out how to help by a pull request, I'll keep you informed.

I'm trying to figure out how to help by a pull request, I'll keep you informed.

Let's continue discussion in:

• Pull request: Adding role menu and menuitem to navigation menu trees and leafs #9149 or issue Add WAI-ARIA features to main menu for better accessibility #9148
• Accessibility issue: Accessibility improvements to Piwik #4167

I've updated to 2.15.0 and I'm wondering what became of two valid (in my eyes) suggestions made by @jdeyla about the highlighting color and @Globulopolis about the "Hide sidebar" icon. I haven't seen any of the two points in the links posted by @mattab to issues #9148 and #4167.

The current design does not stand the comparison to the mock-up by @jdeyla in terms of clarity. Nor does it remind of the 4 designs initially suggested: the markers of currently selected items are no longer there in 2.15.0...

As to the hide sidebar feature, it makes total sense for some users like me who only use the dashboard entry of the menu: in 3 years, I've never needed any of the now top-level entries other than Dashboard... Such rare use cases are out there.

I'm not disabled in any way but I still think both suggestions were valuable. Are they implicitly dismissed? Or were they taken into account some place that I didn't find?

We'll implement a toggle for the left menu at some point. Right now some other features and fixes just have a bit of a higher priority. Issue for toggle of left menu is here: #9263

Optimizing Piwik for mobile and making it more responsive is not really one of our priorities currently as we have a Piwik Mobile 2 app for Android and iOS. This might change though over time and we will probably always do some tweaks over time.

Hi There,

When I implemented custom dimensions I needed to upgrade the piwik which I did.
On Internet explorer 11 the Left menu is now alone on the top and hides for example the date or period.

Yesterday I did a new install of the 2.16.rc2 and noticed the same behaviour.

I have no problem on firefox or chrome

We'll have a look, thx

I just tested on IE11 and MS Edge with http://demo.piwik.org and it seems to work fine. Can you open the demo Piwik with your browser and see if it happens there as well?

If it works on demo, maybe try to clear your cache in tmp/assets/*, make sure no adblocker or similar extensions are active, and make sure HTML files can be served by your webserver

Hi There,

Before coming back to you I tested several things..
I noticed that indeed the piwik.org is fine
mine http://dgcmdc004 is not

I'm running this on a Windows server 2008 with IIS

I did as advised..
Then I noticed a 2.16 release and installed that one, only the
config.ini.php file was used from before..
When I do a new install I always have a small error complaining the /tmp
directory isn't writable..
and a http://dgcmdc004/plugins/Morpheus/images/logo.svg Failed to load
resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
I checked however on the server and the logo is there ?

can you please explain me what I'm doing wrong

Kind regards

Make sure that the tmp directory is writable. Re failing logo do you mind asking in our Forums http://forum.piwik.org/ where someone can maybe help? It looks like a not correctly configured server maybe and we can do much here.

Hi There,

I found the error..
It seems piwik serves the pages as

I had to change it to

I couldn't reproduce it with edge, or IE 11. Is someone else experiencing this issue as well?

http://dgcmdc004 looks like an intranet link, so I suppose that IE is using "compatibility mode" for all the websites inside the intranet network.

I solved that oddity avoiding IE browsers connected inside my custom authentication plugin. I'm using DeviceDetector to exclude IEs before 11.0 version. 😉

As far I can remember I talked about it when we discussed on IE8 support abandoning: #4620

It is indeed a intranet site...
The policy here is that every browser is IE11 only a few people have access
to chrome..

It's when I played with the document mode settings and lowered to IE8 that
the site menu whent to the left..I then noticed in the source view that
even when we use IE11..The page's show's a

It shows a small [object] [object] error window ...which is related to the
Dashboard section as pushing that button/tab isn't working. everything is
in 1 column.

I would like to hunt this down but have no clue where to begin..

The 2008 R2 server uses IIS 7.5

@mattab are we mentioning this already in an FAQ?

@tsteur What did you refer to? If I can improve something in a FAQ, please let me know

@mattab , @tsteur this is my reference. In brief I gave up to IE <11. Forbidding them by use of _Device Detector _in my authentication plugin. Now we're testing IE11+WIN7 looks like being fine.

It's solved on my side by solving the svg mime settings.

In a Intranet only site a map where you're customers come from aren't that
importend to show on a map. Therefore we overlooked to long that there
wasn't a map at all.
Once I corrected that, the menu felt in place to

@mattab can we have an FAQ like "Piwik is not working in an Intranet with IE11"?

We could mention there are known problems, link to an issue where we explain a workaround that requires changing the code to set meta element <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8,chrome=1"/>. Also maybe we can actually fix it by setting different meta elements depending on IE version via JavaScript (likely not possible via HTML since newer IE versions do not support this anymore).

@tsteur Not willing to document users to set a HTML code manually, as we recommend against such practise. Maybe it's a case to create a new issue where we could add a config setting to set appropriate <meta> elements on IE11?

yes that would be great @Forsskieken do you mind maybe creating an issue?
