With AdminBar Docker you can undock the admin toolbars to keep them in view when scrolling through long admin pages

Description

AdminBar Docker is an admin plugin that adds a dock/undock option to the Administrator.

With sites with loads of articles or with certain components you get long pages in your administrator. You often have to scroll up and down the page a lot. And when you want to save something or enter the main menu, you have to scroll all the way back to the top of the page.

 

AdminBar Docker offers a solution for this. With one click on a little icon (top-right of your screen) you can undock the menu and the toolbar. Now they float over your page at the top of the screen... even if you are at the bottom of the page.

Now you have the menu and the action buttons (save, apply, cancel, etc) in view in a super quick and handy way.

AdminBar Docker also gives you quickbuttons to jump to the top or bottom of the page.

 

See the Screenshots to get the idea.

 

PS: I know, I know, there is next to no documentation besides what you see here. Sorry... still have to write more on this. If you have any questions, please just ask me via the forum.

Specs

Specifications

AdminBar Docker is a Joomla extension compatible with Joomla 1.5, Joomla 1.7 and Joomla 2.5.

The extension consists of:

  • a system plugin

Requirements

AdminBar Docker will only work correctly if your setup meets these requirements:

  • Up-to-date version of Joomla!
  • PHP 5.3+
  • PHP mbstring (Multibyte String) functions should be enabled
  • MySQL 5+

Using PHP 5.2 (or lower)?
PHP 5.2 is old and support for it has stopped with the release of PHP 5.2.16 (16-Dec-2010). This means that PHP 5.2 cannot be considered stable or secure anymore.
If your host will not or cannot provide you with an up-to-date version of PHP, then you have reason enough to look for a decent host.
PHP 5.2 mainly has problems with installation of the zip packages. The extensions might work without problems for you once installed, but I can not give any guarantees on that.
>> For more detailed information, read: No more php 5.2 support - move on to php 5.3

I can not provide support for setups that do not meet the above requirements.

The core Joomla files should of course not be altered in any way.

Installation

The easiest way to install/update is via the NoNumber! Extension Manager.

If you have problems installing AdminBar Docker, please try the manual installation process as described here:
docs.joomla.org/Installing_an_extension

Otherwise, please report this on the forum or let me know via the contact form.

Updating

If you want to update to the latest version, you do not have to uninstall first.

The easiest way to install/update is via the NoNumber! Extension Manager.

You can also update simply by installing the package via the Joomla core installation process.

Downgrading

If for some reason you need to downgrade, it is best to uninstall the extension first.

Also, you will have to uninstall the NoNumber! Framework plugin (system) (and the NoNumber Elements plugin if you have it installed).

After that you can simply install the older version zip file.

Please note that I cannot not provide support on older versions!

Open Source License

AdminBar Docker is an Open Source Joomla extension. It is in compliance with the GNU/GPL license:
Licence: GNU/GPL GNU General Public License, version 2

Joomla is also Open Source.

Commercial License

AdminBar Docker is completely free and you DON'T need a Commercial License Code to use it.

However, if you use my extensions on websites that you make money from, I would appreciate it if you purchase a License Code.
The License Code will remove the license message from the extensions administrator screens.

Note: If you don't want to pay for the License Code and want to continue to use the extension for free, please do. You will just have to ignore the license message in the administrator.

Note: If you have donated before and feel you should get some reduction on the price, please contact me about it... we'll sort it out :)
