[Bug] Hide Menu = ON for Project Members causes blank dashboard

Bug Report: “Hide Menu” option prevents dashboard from loading for Project Members

Platform: Thinger.io Cloud (medeiros.aws.thinger.io)
Version: 6.5.14
Date: April 2026


Summary

When Hide Menu is enabled for a Project Member, the dashboard assigned to that project fails to render — the page loads completely blank. Disabling Hide Menu immediately fixes the issue and the dashboard loads correctly.


Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a Project (e.g. programador_riego) with a Dashboard containing HTML/JS widgets
  2. Add a user as a Project Member (e.g. pjaramillo)
  3. In Projects → [project] → Members → [member], set Hide Menu = ON and click Update Member
  4. Log in as that member
  5. Navigate to the project dashboard URL:
    https://[your-instance]/console/projects/[project]/dashboard
    or any direct dashboard URL:
    https://[your-instance]/console/dashboards/[dashboard_id]

Expected Behavior

The dashboard should load and display its widgets normally, with the navigation menu hidden as configured.


Actual Behavior

The page renders completely blank — no widgets, no content, no error message. Only the top bar (project selector and username) is visible.

This happens with both URL formats:

  • /console/projects/[project]/dashboard
  • /console/dashboards/[dashboard_id]

Screenshots Needed

Please attach the following screenshots when posting:

# Screenshot Description
1 Member config with Hide Menu ON Shows the setting that triggers the bug
2 Blank dashboard as member (incognito) Shows the bug — empty page
3 Dashboard working with Hide Menu OFF Confirms it works without the setting
4 Dashboard working as admin (rodney) Confirms dashboard exists and has content

Additional Context

  • The dashboard contains HTML/JS widgets with custom code
  • The member has a Project Role with full permissions (* * * Allow)
  • The issue occurs regardless of whether accessing via project URL or direct dashboard URL
  • The dashboard loads instantly when Hide Menu is set to OFF — confirming it is not a permissions issue
  • Tested in Chrome incognito to rule out cache/session issues
  • Thinger.io version: 6.5.14

Workaround

Set Hide Menu = OFF for the member and provide the direct dashboard URL as a bookmark:

https://[your-instance]/console/dashboards/[dashboard_id]

The member will see a limited menu based on their permissions, but the dashboard will load correctly.
