Describe the Bug

Hi @ssddanbrown

After one of the last updates I'm not able to sort on activity under settings -> users. This was a very usefull feature to see if any user is logged in and working on something. This way I know if I can perform an update on Bookstack mid day instead of waiting for the evening when no users are logged in.

Kind regards,

Michel

Hi @mschoon85,
Do you not see the following circled control on your instance?:

Hi @ssddanbrown,

Unfortunately this sort option is not there. Also, compared to your screenshot, it does not say Users at the top en there is no 'ADD NEW USER' button (might be because we are using LDAP, so I don't need it).

Hi @ssddanbrown,

I just found out that this is caused by the HTML head I added under settings:

<style>
	header a[href$="/books"] {
		display: none;
	}
  
  header a[href$="/shelves"] {
		display: none;
	}
    
#  .grid.no-row-gap {
#    grid-row-gap: 0;
#    display: none;
#}

  .list-heading {
  display: none;
}
  
    .list-sort-container {
  display: none;
}
  
  
</style>

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/luminous-lightbox/2.3.5/luminous.min.js"></script>
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/luminous-lightbox/2.3.5/luminous-basic.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script>
window.onload = function() {
  var images=document.querySelectorAll("main a img");
  for (image of images) {
    new Luminous(image.parentElement);
  }
}
</script>

<script>
  document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function(){
    var links = document.links;

    for (var i = 0, linksLength = links.length; i < linksLength; i++) {
       if (links[i].hostname != window.location.hostname) {
           links[i].target = '_blank';
       }
    }
  });
</script>

<style>
.text-muted.break-text {
    display: none;
}
</style>


<style>
.active-restriction {
    display: none;
}
</style>

<style type="text/css">
	.entity-meta-item:has(svg[data-icon="user"]) {
		display: none;
	}
</style>

I would like to keep the above if possible. Can we add new HTML code to make the sort visible again? It was working with previous versions of Bookstack.

I guess this part is the cause:

.list-sort-container {
  display: none;
}

Because I don't want users to see sort on the front side. It used to be separated from the sort function on the user page apparently.

Yeah, such CSS customizations are not officially supported and can break on updates or have unintended side-affects.

Tweaking the problematic rule that you singled out to match the below may get what you want. There's no real distinction of these sort boxes user vs admin side but this scopes hiding the sort controls to the template that's mostly used within those common user-side views.

.tri-layout-middle  .list-sort-container {
  display: none;
}
