Prepare... New Menu Cometh (announcements)

submitted ago by PuttItOut

Just a quick announcement to all subverse owners that Voat will be changing the default menu in less than a week (target is the 15th of this month).

Some subverses need to fix their CSS as the underlying HTML has changed. Cashmere on Light Theme is a known problem for example.

To change your menu from the current one (legacy) to the new one (dashboard) you can simply use a query string on any url on the site.

What we are talking about:

Picture of Dashboard Menu

Turns on new Dashboard Menu:

?menu=dashboard Turn On New Dashboard Menu

Turns on Legacy Menu:

?menu=legacy Turn On Legacy Menu

The HTML of the menu has been changed (top bar as well as drop down), even though we did try to make it as backwards compatible as possible by including as much of the old css attributes as possible. Please see comments in HTML.

Now is the time if we need to make any improvements or fixes to anything related to the new dashboard menu or html. Please post dev related stuff to the existing thread here: https://voat.co/v/voatdev/1689138

Thanks Voat.

I am kind of lazy. How much will this affect fph's css?

You should hire @FuzzyWords and get the complete analysis done. I'm betting your css could be slimmed down.

Probably. I had to do a lot of work arounds because voat doesn't offer certain things (user flairs as one example)

And the css limit itself is quite annoying.
