Lovelace: custom sidebar card

Share your Projects! Dashboards & Frontend
589

Hi all! I have a minor issue. I set hideTopMenu to true in my main config. Now the top Menu is gone which is good. How can I get it back for example editing the Dashboards? Saw now that i can´t click the 3 dots anymore? Damn it or I have to go back and restore from a backup? And the same would apply for the sideMenu? Any Hack or Button I can add to get everything back? Thanks a lot!

P.s. how can i make it that my Huawei tablet runs in tablet mode and the phones to run for phones? Currently phone and tablet share the same size if the sidebar which is bad :frowning:

Hi all
We are some people who have problems with the bottom width.
Here is my example. I just want to have the weather card at the bottom of the side bar.
But as you see, there is a width problem.

I tried differents things, without result.

Here is my actually code :

 bottomCard:
    type: horizontal-stack
    cardOptions:
      cards:
        - show_current: true
          show_forecast: true
          type: weather-forecast
          cardStyle: |
            :host {
              width: 100%;
              position: absolute;
              bottom: 0;
              left: 0;
                }
             ha-card {
               background: transparent;
               color: #FFF;
               overflow: hidden !important;
               box-shadow: none !important;
               width: 100%;
             }
          entity: weather.maison_veauche
          theme: Animated Weather Card
          secondary_info_attribute: pressure
          tap_action:
            action: navigate
            navigation_path: /lovelace/Météo

This might help, this is my style config and the menu items highlight

style: |
    ha-icon {
        --mdc-icon-size: 36px;
    }
    .sidebarMenu li {
        color: var(--sidebar-text-color, #000);
        position: relative;
        padding: 10px 20px;
        border-radius: 12px;
        font-size: 32px !important;
        line-height: 32px !important;
        font-weight: 300;
        white-space: normal;
        display: block;
        cursor: pointer;
    }
    h1.digitalClock {
        font-size: 100px !important;
        line-height: 80px !important;
        font-weight: 300 !important;
        cursor: default;
    }
    h2 {
        margin: 0;
        font-size: 36px !important;
        line-height: 32px !important;
        font-weight: 200;
        color: var(--sidebar-text-color, #000);
        cursor: default;
    }

Thanks for a quick reply and sharing the code!
I figured it out while applying your style, I had the path for each page done as
path: first

While it was suppose to be,
path: /lovelace-menuitem/first/

The links worked correctly but style did not recognize the paths.

Hello, I am new to home assistant.
I would like to know how many lights are open
on my sidebar
can you help me

595

do you mean how many lights are on and you want to present it in your sidebar

596

Thanks for a very nice card - I see it mentioned above but is there any way to actually use this with casting the lovelace view (not CATT)? I can’t get it to show in my view, only the other cards in the dashboard. Anybody found a solution?

597

Can someone please assist me. I have been trying for days to get this card working for myself but nothing i do seems to work. I have googled for hours and still cannot find a solution. I basically cannot even get the sidebar up on the screen. I have followed instructions and added the repo url as a custom repo, added the resource url under dashboard → resources. I am adding the sidebar code under the raw config editor for a new dashboard i created but i cannot get the sidebar to even appear on the screen. Can someone please tell me what am i doing wrong

598

I use HACS to install to avoid anything going wrong with manual install. But assuming you’ve got it installed correctly, post us your dashboard yaml so we can see if there’s any issues there.

Hey,

Can anyone help me please? I am really struggling to remove the box around ‘Good Evening’ in the bottombar.

I have tried changing the CSS and card type etc but nothing will remove.

Thank you.Screenshot 2022-12-20 at 22.05.52

Nice man & can you share code pleas ?

601

Has anyone gotten a transparent background on this sidebar to work? I am able to change the color easily or even upload an image as a background, but I just can’t seem to get it transparent!

602

@amandayahh, I probably spent 40+ hours on this same issue. What I discovered using the browser console is that the sidebar seems to be its own container and not a ‘card’ on the dashboard. The transparent setting seems to be working but because there is nothing behind it (ie, dashboard background image), all you see is white. I ended up just finding a nice wood texture for the sidebar and I’m happy with the results.

Hi,
I couldn’t make it work for different devices, so I moved on from it. the below is what I found of the ‘sidebar’ code. I hope it works:

Hello all,

I am pretty new to this all.
So sorry if this is a real basic question.

Do you guys make all seperate dashboards with the sidebar yamlcode on top. Or is there a way to make a sidebar template which can be implemented in any dashboard.

thanks!

Did the Decluttering card make it possible to reuse the “sidebar” on multiple pages?

Hi all, can the sidebar be made scrollable? Having issues on multiple devices… how did you al solve this? On tablet it works, in the car it is cut of… Thank a lot in advance!

Wow your sidebar looks great!!! How did you manage to get a background image on the sidebar? Could you please share the code?

Sure @georgefokianos, happy to. See below:

Sidebar Code

    desktop: 18
  sidebarMenu:

      navigation_path: /the-wood-clan/overview
      name: Overview
      icon: mdi:compass
    - action: navigate

      --sidebar-selected-icon-color: #fff;

      box-shadow: inset -38px -3px 11px -28px #000;
    }
    #customSidebar {
       z-index: 9999!important;
     }
    .sidebarMenu {
      border-top: 3px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2)!important;
      border-bottom: 3px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2)!important;
    }
    .sidebarMenu li {
      line-height: 20px!important;
      font-size: 16px!important;
    }
    .sidebarMenu li.active {
      font-weight: bold!important;
    }
    .sidebarMenu li.active::before {
      border-radius: 30px!important;
    }
    h1 {
      text-align: center!important;
    }
    h1.digitalClock {
      font-weight: normal!important;
    }
    h2 {
      font-size: 20px!important;
      text-align: center!important;
    }

Here is the image I used for the sidebar background:
