@test
able to reproduce then #6953 works as described (Travis) - thanks
strange having the left collapse column empty O.o

@pe7er i have just tested this.

here my result.

I hope we are able to remove the side bar as it looks very bad.
The seccond thing i marked is the info box are we abel to add a bit space between the searchtools and the message? If searchtools are open all is ok but can we have this extra space also if the searchtools are closed?

Also i have just noted that the filter don't work. It will be shown but don't work here. If i change to e.g. unpublished i still get all also the publiched etc.

@pe7er
To remove sidebar you need an empty one in tmpl/default.php. Remove line

$this->sidebar = JHtmlSidebar::render();

in view.html.php.

@pe7er
To make filter work you have 1) to change
name="published"
to
name="state"
in filter,,,.xml.

And you have 2) to add state to config_fields in constructor of model

'published', 'a.published', 'state'

Thank you all for testing.
I've committed the PR from @zero-24 to fix a CS issue,
and after changing the field name in the filter.xml (thanks @bertmert !) the filter works correctly.
Do I still need to add "config_fields" to the constructor of the model?

I also added a "Links" submenu so that (although this component has just 1 view) the view is consistent with all other components.

@test

Menu on left contains "Links" now. "Search Tools" works when filtering. Spacing between "search tools" and the below message still is not corrected.

I do not understand why there is a sidebar with a link to open the view that you are already on - this serves no purpose at all

Consistency & it's a visual aid that makes orientation (especially for new users) easier.

All components that have multiple views (e.g. items & categories) have a sidebar with (sort of) "menu items" where you can easily select another view of that component. Besides selecting "menu options" it also shows the admin which "admin sub menu" they are using.

I've noticed that especially for new users the admin menu structure can be very confusing. The sidebar functions as visual aid that makes orientation easier.

And when you only have one highlighted (blue background) option, it gives admins a visual aid that is consistent with all "multi view" components.

I understand you but disagree.

#6953 (comment).

I would remove the sidebar, too, because any unneccessary rendering ist a waste of time and performance. Every little helps...

Tested succesfully. I agree however, that the sidebar is only useful when an item has subitems. With Redirect, that's not the case. And why use the term "Links" and not "Redirect"?

@test succesfully tested. No sidebar necessary IMHO.
The space between searchtools and message bar should be fixed?

I also agree the sidebar is useless on the redirect manager. @pe7er Can you please update your PR? It seems to have some issues as well.

Moving to Information Required until @pe7er get the time to change the Code as @roland-d sugsested.

I tried to update this PR but had some "HEAD detached" problems & merge conflicts.
Therefore I've created a new PR. Could someone please merge this with the new PR #7697
Thanks!

Closing as we have a new & updated.
