Redmine

With any reason, this one has gets an update too instead of just it's duplicat. Please ignore.

A possible Solution:

I finaly gave up the idea with folding correctly. I guess its possible as well - but I am using another way now:

I installed the plugin "Favourite projects" [[http://www.redmine.org/plugins/redmine_favourite_projects]]
This way I select just the projects I am currently working on, or need to see constantly.

Then I changed the plugins views a little bit:
./plugins/redmine_favorite_projects/app/views/projects/

index.html.erb:
Just added a few lines as java script in the beginning of the file - as a click handler for hiding not favorite projects

<script>
$(function()
{
    $('ul.side-nav a').click(function()
    {
       $('tr.project').hide();
       $('tr.' + $(this).attr('class')).show();       
    });

    $('ul.side-nav2 a').click(function()
    {
       $('th.description').hide();
       $('td.description').hide();
    });

});
</script>

<!-- inside the "Filter" dropdown are a few more links now ... -->
<div class="filters">   

    <fieldset id="filters" class="collapsible <%= 'collapsed' if no_filters %>">
      <legend onclick="toggleFieldset(this);"><%= l(:label_filter_plural) %></legend>
      <div style="<%= 'display: none;' if no_filters %>">  
        <p>  
          <span class="filter-condition">        
            <label for="closed"><%= check_box_tag 'closed', 1, params[:closed] %> <%= l(:label_show_closed_projects) %></label>
            <ul class="side-nav">
                <li><a class="project" href="#">Show all</a></li>
                <li><a class="FAV_ON" href="#">Show only favorite</a></li>
            </ul>            
            <ul class="side-nav2">
                <li><a class="hide_description" href="#">Show only project</a></li>
            </ul>            
          </span>

        </p>    

      </div>
    </fieldset> 

    <p class="buttons hide-when-print">
        <%= link_to l(:button_apply), "#", :onclick=>"$('#query_form').submit()", :class => 'icon icon-checked' %>
        <%= link_to l(:button_clear), { :set_filter => 1, :project_id => @project }, :class => 'icon icon-reload'  %>
    </p>   
</div>

_list.html.erb:
Changed a few lines, to have classes for the html tags to hide them

<table class="list">
  <thead>
    <tr>
        <th style="width:25px"></th>  
        <th><%=l(:label_project)%></th>

            <!--added class=... -->
                <th class="description"><%=l(:field_description)%></th>
        <!-- <th><%=l(:field_go_to)%></th> -->
        <!-- <th><%=l(:field_created_on)%></th> -->
    </tr>
  </thead>

Added a value "favorite=..." and a function "favorite_status()"

<% project_tree(@projects) do |project, level| %>
<tr class="<%= cycle("odd", "even") %> <%= project.css_classes %> <%= level > 0 ? "idnt idnt-#{level}" : nil %> <%= favorite_mark(project, User.current) %>" favorite="<%= favorite_status(project, User.current)%>">
        <td><%= favorite_tag(project, User.current) %></td>  

I also changed the helper file - I added the neccessary functions to mark what is favorite
./plugins/redmine_favorite_projects/app/views/projects/favorite_projects_helper.rb :

  def favorite_mark(object, user, options={})
    return '' unless user && user.logged? && user.member_of?(object)
    favorite = FavoriteProject.favorite?(object.id, user.id)
    favorite ? 'FAV_ON' : 'FAV_OFF'
  end

  def favorite_status(object, user, options={})
    return '' unless user && user.logged? && user.member_of?(object)
    favorite = FavoriteProject.favorite?(object.id, user.id)
    favorite ? 'ON' : 'OFF'
  end

I guess - this could be done much nicer - but it fits my needs.

In combination with Firefox and the "All-In-One sidebar" addon, I use the Multipanel feature from this addon to see my projectlist all the time.
Just navigate to your project list - open the sidebar with multipanel view and click on the double arrow icon left from the sidebars close symbol.

Now your projectlist is on the left side. If you click on your project the overview page will be opened on the right (main) panel.
I also changed my standard destination for projects to "issues" instead of the overview page.

Please see at the screenshots attached to get an idea.
If any questions remain, pease feel free to contact me.
