Templated Page - Sidebar

[CodingPupper3033]

Hello again,

I am trying to create a new "app" (plugin with a navbar item and app page) using the plugin system. I want to make a new tab using Navigation Mixin (which I have been able to do), which brings you to a new page similar to /stock/# (a site with the navbar, sidebar, content, etc). I could implement this into an existing app (stock, part, etc) using panel mixins. However, I plan on implementing enough separate tabs to need a separate page.

I looked into how "apps" (like parts and stock) implement this, and it appears pages extend page_base.html. Then, to add content to blocks like page_content, you declare a block and put templated HTML into it. It seems to add a sidebar you would add content to block sidebar; however, my attempts seem dysfunctional. Specifically, the sidebar will not appear; however, other blocks (like page content) will appear.

I have posted relevant code below. I included "my own" sidebar items and attempted to copy the contents of a stock sidebar in an attempt to get anything to appear. I have tried making the sidebar its own file, only including the stock one, only have "my sidebar items" (I copied and pasted yours for testing).

I am currently unsure why the sidebar will not appear. Would you be able to tell if you see an obvious issue or if there may be a backend issue causing the sidebar not to appear? As always, I am grateful for any time and help you may be able to provide!

My Attempt:

{% extends "page_base.html" %}
{% load static %}
{% load inventree_extras %}
{% load plugin_extras %}
{% load i18n %}


{% block page_title %}
{% inventree_title %} | {% trans "Loaning" %} - {{ item }}
{% endblock page_title %}


{% block sidebar %}
{% trans "Sublocations" as text %}
{% include "sidebar_item.html" with label='sublocations' text=text icon="fa-sitemap" %}
{% trans "Stock Items" as text %}
{% include "sidebar_item.html" with label='stock' text=text icon="fa-boxes" %}

{% include "stock/location_sidebar.html" %}
{% endblock sidebar %}

At the bottom of the page, you must enable the sidebar. I can't believe I missed this one, sorry about that

{% block js_ready %}
{{ block.super }}
    enableSidebar('stocklocation');


{% endblock js_ready %}

@CodingPupper3033 glad you worked it out! Do you think you could submit an update to the docs so that other users can see this too?

This is more a git/permission error. You are trying to push to InvenTree, which even we do not do. You need to fork InvenTree (there is a button for that in Github on the upper right when you view the repo) and push to that. You then open a Pull Request in github from your new branch to the main inventree repo. We run some checks automatically and then it can be merged. This is the default flow for git as it would be pure chaos if everyone (including maintainers) was just pushing to the main repo.

You can also just go to the file you want to edit on github and hit edit in the upper right corner (above the content of the file) - this will let you submit a path directly.

Let me know if you want to try one of those methods or if I should just propose your patch and co-author you on it.

Ah, I completely forgot about forking. Let me try that first; then, if I can't figure it out, you may submit it!

@matmair I believe I submitted a pull request. I am unsure how I link the discussion and issue to the pull request

@CodingPupper3033 in the description for the PR, simple put "Closes #issue" (I have done this for you in your PR now, so you can see what to do next time! )

Thank you :)

Is the pull request all set? Do I need to do anything more? Does the documentation itself look good?
