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 a lot up and down the page. 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 in this. With one click on a little icon (top-right of your screen) you can undock the menu and the toolbar. These now 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, cancle, etc) in sight in a super quick and handy way.

AdminBar Docker also gives you quickbuttons to jump to the top and 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.

Installing

The package installs/updates all necessary extensions, like components, module and plugins. (If the package contains plugins, they will be published after install, so you won't have to do that by hand.)

The package makes use of a special installer. This checks to see if it needs to install the extension(s) or update them. So you can just run this package through the Joomla installer without having to uninstall the older version.

You might experience problems during install for certain setups. In that case you can install the extension(s) manually. Please read the INSTALL.txt in the package...

If you run into any problems, please report this on the forum or let me know via the contact form.

Commercial License

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

However, if you use the extensions on websites you make for / sell to your customer, 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 :)
