What this solution does
The WRP: Manage Info Block Visibility in Admin Menu module extends the standard functionality of the 1C-Bitrix administrative panel for multisite configurations. It addresses the lack of contextual filtering for info blocks and simplifies switching between sites, directly impacting user work speed, accuracy, and convenience.
Problem of the overloaded menu
In multisite projects, the number of info blocks grows rapidly, causing the standard menu to become overloaded. The list displays info blocks from all sites simultaneously, complicating navigation with a large number of entities and increasing the time required to find the necessary info block. The module solves this by displaying only the info blocks of the selected site in the menu, resulting in a clean and structured layout.
Risk of working with external info blocks
When multiple sites exist within a single installation, there is a high risk of accidentally selecting an info block from another site. This creates a risk of inadvertently editing data from another resource or publishing content on the wrong site. Filtering by the current site eliminates the possibility of such errors.
The module addresses the issue of a cluttered administrative menu when managing numerous information blocks. It filters the list of information blocks based on the currently selected site, allowing content managers to see only relevant elements. This simplifies the interface, reduces the risk of confusion between projects, and minimizes the number of errors during publishing. By reducing unnecessary clicks and navigation steps, the time required to perform routine tasks is shortened, thereby increasing the overall efficiency of administrators. A site switcher is displayed in the header of the administrative interface for quick context selection.
The module controls the visibility of information block items in the administrative menu based on filtering settings for the current user. It optimizes menu display when handling a large number of information blocks and improves usability in multisite installations.
General iT can handle the implementation of “WRP: Manage visibility of information blocks in the administrative menu”, from installation to configuration and compatibility checks.
