#[Solved] Dashboard name and icon not showing

Hey there,

since quite a few releases (~6 months), the name of the dashboard in the sidebar has disappeared. It's just black. Now also the icon has vanished...
I have tried clearing the cache several times and that had no effect. I'm not sure if a 3rd party resource causes this, or if somebody else also maybe had that issue.
I also tried re-saving it a couple of times, incl. chaning the name and icon: No effect.

Maybe something has an idea 🙂
Thanks and greetings,

Andy!

Are you using 3rd party sidebar-related resources?

No, none of those resources should interfere with the sidebar, they're all for cards. Maybe mushroom, but if that would be the cause, I'm sure I would not be the first one to stumble over this :/

Couldn't hurt to give safe mode a try, just as a test.

#

Good idea! Just did that, but name and icon are still not showing :/

#

ah one note: The issue persists also on all devices: my laptop and phone/app, my wife's phone/app, all displays we have in our home... So I doubt it's a client issue

Can you share your relevant settings?

#

It's every dashboard or just a single one?

Like just screenshot of the dashboards settings, where you set the name & icon

I don't have any specific idea, just fishing

#

Better yet stick this in your browser console:
document.getElementsByTagName("home-assistant")[0].hass.panels

#

and see what it outputs

I found the issue... The dashboard did not have "show in sidebar" ticked... I thought that setting means that it shows for all users in the sidebar (like the toggle e.g. addons have that they're shown in sidebar).
Wow, that setting confused me... What is the purpose of a dashboard that is not shown in the sidebar and then renders like it did for me (just an empty row in the sidebar)

Seems like this is an issue if you select a non-shown dashboard as your user-default dashboard?

leaden tiger
#

yeah, that's what was basically happening

#

I wonder if that's expected to be allowed or not.

#

probably some bug in the intersection of those two features

glad we found it, thanks for helping, sometimes it just helps talking about it 🙂

actually, it's sadly not solved :/
So I ticked "Show in sidebar" on all the custom dashboards I have (e.g. for my panels around the house) and now I (as I expected what the switch does) they're always shown in the sidebar for all users :/
So I can either have

  • them all shown all the time (and users need to explicitly hide them, which sounds not the way to do)
  • Have the state as I shown in the first post (invisible name and icon)

it's "andy-dashboard". Interesting that icon and title are null 🤔
