I really like the changes to the Wiki in FogBugz 8. The information panel in the FogBugz 8 Default Template is pretty sweet too but takes up a fair amount of screen real estate. Are there any plans to make it collapsible to the left and freeing up a bunch of screen space?

UPDATE: As of FogBugz 8.1, you can now collapse the wiki sidebar by clicking anywhere along its right edge:

Collapse wiki sidebar

This setting is remembered per-computer (via a broswer cookie), so you can collapse the sidebar on your netbook, but leave it open on your Jumbotron™ at work. :)


There are not currently any plans to implement this, but you can use the following bookmarklet

javascript:
var fVisible = !$("#wiki-page-search").is(":visible");
$("#wiki-page-search").toggle(fVisible);
$("#body").css({"margin-left": fVisible ? 270 : 0, "max-width": fVisible ? 960: "100%"});

When you're using the default template that comes with FogBugz 8, running that bookmarklet will toggle everything other than the body of the article off. (Running the bookmarklet again will turn everything back on)

For example, when used on http://developers.fogbugz.com:

With navigation

becomes

Without navigation

You can also give this to everyone using this BugMonkey script:

$(function(){
   var td = $("<td>").appendTo("#container table:first tr");

   $("<a>")
   .text("(toggle navigation)")
   .attr("href", "javascript:void(0)")
   .click(function(){
      var fVisible = !$("#wiki-page-search").is(":visible"); 
      $("#tbFull").toggle(fVisible); $("#wiki-page-search").toggle(fVisible); 
      $("#body").css({"margin-left": fVisible ? 270 : 0, "max-width": fVisible ? 960: "100%"});
   })
   .appendTo(td);
});

Just to follow up on Daniel's answer -- no, there aren't currently any plans to make this collapsible for FB 8.0, but this is obviously a highly likely change for an post-8.0-release if many users agree. – Ben Kamens Aug 31 2010 at 21:27
Thanks for the update on this, Daniel and Ben. – Ken Morse Aug 31 2010 at 22:06

Many of our users especially the 4:6 monitor users find it very annoying and ask to get rid of this Wiki Info – is Sep 28 2010 at 7:50

Just to put my vote in to make it collapsible in a future release - would be great, thanks. – joesken Sep 28 2010 at 11:23
I've opened a case for us to look into making this change for the next 8.0 service pack. – Ben Kamens Sep 28 2010 at 14:38
