Minor improvements to the mobile menu for a significant improvement in user experience

[volanar]

@baris The inscription Navigation in the left mobile menu can be removed. Now it is not needed. Instead, add an X for closing, as in the standard menu.

If possible, add the word search... and an icon to enable search. As in this example

@baris

Implemented on futur release ?

[baris]

@DownPW Yes this will be available in 1.19.2

[volanar]

@baris it would be great if the counter was added to the left mobile menu. Every time I go to the forum, I have to open this menu to see if there are any recent posts.

@volanar A cheap workaround here would be to set the default homepage as recent

Why set up workarounds when you can do it more conveniently? We limit ourselves in the settings to only recent ones. We need to think about the convenience for all users

[phenomlab]

@volanar Whilst I agree, this may not suit everyone, which is why I made that suggestion. What may be convenient for you may not be for others.

The number on the profile image show the number of notifications. I guess you are talking about unread topics, which could be added to the left menu icon.

[volanar]

@baris yes. If there were several such numbers, not only unread ones, then it would be possible to display the sum of numbers. For example, sum up the number of posts from the feed plugin

Yes, actually; I believe that is a very important addition. Unread topics counts should be seen on the sandwich menu icon, and the total number of notifications + private messages should be seen on the avatar.

Should I open a GitHub issue for this? Thanks.

https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/10234, notification and chat numbers are showin on the profile icon separately.

[volanar]

@baris And the last wish for creating the perfect mobile menu. Clicking on the number area takes you directly to messages, notifications, or unread messages. For example, in the photo, when you click on the number 3, you go to the notifications tab

The number next to the notification bell is not deleted without clicking on the notifications. Wouldn't it be better if a button like read or close is added?

Yes. Should be similar to this example

@volanar there are already explanations in the notifications. I think it should be marked as read.

[volanar]

I have a bug. Counter disappears after page reload

This post is deleted!

This functionality is available in the desktop version. We need to ask @baris to transfer it to the mobile version

[volanar]

@baris In the left mobile menu, you need to transfer the login and registration. Now they are not needed there

Can be done as in the desktop menu

Can be done more correctly

The new right menu on Smartphone is good but there isn't not enough space for the site logo and title

See the screen shot on OnePlus 8T :

Any idea to handle this problem? @baris @phenomlab
