p:sidebar dynamic ?

[vished]

Hi all,

Is there an option to have the p:sidebar dynamic?

I cannot see any option?

Thanks

'Dynamic' is a rather generic statement. Care to elaborate? How and when do you want it to be dynamic? When does it need updating? etc.

My scenario is as follow:
- I have a button in my topbar, like a clock (as you maybe know from facebook).
- As soon I press the button my sidebar is opening
- All notifications are loading

Currently this notification is loading for each page request, but I would like to load this notification only if the button has been pressed and the sidebar is opening...

How can I do this? For p:dialog I know the "dynamic" flag....

Looks like it is not dynamic right now.

You will have to make a feature request here: https://github.com/primefaces/primefaces/issues

Ok, just added.
Maybe it can be implemented in PF8? Not sure if it´s a big deal.

Why not make the content dynamic with a dynamic panel?

[vished]

you mean with: <p:outputPanel deferred="true">
Seems like it´s not working..
Tried this:

Code: Select all

<p:sidebar widgetVar="notificationSidebar" position="right"
		style="width: 500px">

		<p:outputPanel deferred="true">
			<h:form id="notificationTopbarForm">
....
