Getting a li-element in sidebar correctly stick at the bottom
I'm adopting the dashboard example from https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/examples/dashboard/ for a custom page. I'm now trying to add an li element (or a second ul) that sticks at the bottom of the sidebar. The li shall contain a button which streches over the complete width of the sidebar. I already tried adding fixed-bottom which worked for placing the li element at the bottom but the button (width: 100%) is now stretching over the complete page. So I'm not sure if fixed-buttom is the right way to go for.
<div class="row">
<nav id="sidebarMenu" class="col-md-3 col-lg-2 d-md-block bg-light sidebar collapse">
<div class="position-sticky pt-3">
<ul class="nav flex-column mb-2">
<li class="nav-item">1</li>
<li class="nav-item">2</li>
<li class="nav-item">3</li>
</ul>
<!-- this shall be sticky at the bottom of the sidebar -->
<ul class="nav flex-column mb-2 fixed-bottom">
<li>
<div class="btn-group dropup" style="width:100%">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" data-bs-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">my button</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li class="nav-item">1</li>
<li class="nav-item">2</li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
<main class="col-md-9 ms-sm-auto col-lg-10 px-md-4">
<!-- CONTENT -->
</main>
</div>
Here you go...
Basically, make two div elements (upper_part and lower_part). Add the following CSS:
#upper_part {
height: 80%; /* 80% + 20% = 100% */
}
#lower_part {
height: 20%; /* 80% + 20% = 100% */
padding: 3%;
padding-bottom: 10%;
}
.my_button {
width: 100%; /* Make the button full-width. */
}
See the snippet below.
body {
font-size: .875rem;
}
.feather {
width: 16px;
height: 16px;
vertical-align: text-bottom;
}
/*

*/
.sidebar {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
/* rtl:raw:

z-index: 100;
/* Behind the navbar */
padding: 48px 0 0;
/* Height of navbar */
box-shadow: inset -1px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, .1);
}
@media (max-width: 767.98px) {
.sidebar {

}
}
.sidebar-sticky {
position: relative;
top: 0;
height: calc(100vh - 48px);
padding-top: .5rem;
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: auto;
/* Scrollable contents if viewport is shorter than content. */
}
.sidebar .nav-link {
