dropdown for main menu?

I think you must install jquery 1.7 instead of jquery 1.4 wich is the default version on drupal 7.

make sure you have clicked "show as expanded" in the menu item options. If that doesn't work you need jquery 1.7 and perhaps this readme file can help
http://drupal.org/node/1668794

I have not been able to get dropdowns working on any menu in a block. I've installed query 1.7, I've used "show as expanded". I've uncommented the lines in menu_link_hook.

The markup seems to be right (when you uncomment those lines), but the dropdown is still not working.

I'm pulling my hair out on this one!

Please help!

Hello,

Sorry but I am not able to reproduce.

Just as @Melissamcewen mentioned earlier, you need to click show as expanded and also have the parent menu item set.

If you can demonstrate the issue so that I can reproduce, then maybe I can assist.

Perhaps you are thinking only about the main menu in the Navigation bar with the twitter logo. This issue is not about that -- that works, but that menu is hard-coded.

I want to use the system menu block for the main menu. Or a menu-block for Main Menu. With that menu block the drop downs do NOT work.

I've tried it in many configurations and finally I have installed it on a pristine site, with only a few modules -- jquery update, libraries, twitter bootstrap ui.

• I've update query to use 1.7.
• I've created a fake main menu and created a parent item.
• I've checked "show as expanded" on the parent and the subitem
• I've placed the main menu block in the top bar region
• I've uncommented the lines from the function twitter_bootstrap_menu_link

See attachments showing all this.

The drop down is not working and it's frustrating. Don't you want more flexibility with the menu system, to use all the menus that Drupal outputs, not just hard-coding it in the template.php?

Hi @tchopshop,

Thanks for the extra detail - it helps me greatly. I will have a look and see what I can improve with a patch. The original poster only asked about the Navigation, which is why I asked.

I'd love to solve these issues permanently but I'm not a maintainer and can only post patches.

Thank you @natted. Tinkering with the preprocess functions a bit I have gotten the html to be what is needed for it to work -- identical in class and attributes to the navigation menu which *does* work -- but even so the javascript will not apply the class "open" to the element to make it trigger the drop down. I really don't understand why.

Yes, thank you, @natted! @tchopshop is definitely not the only person having trouble with this.

Anyone fix the problem..
I think we need to make it like this
http://www.bootstrapmenumod.net/examples/navbar/navbar-with-dropdowns

I have idea to make it , If u use the Special menu items module
http://drupal.org/project/special_menu_items

and make the main item as and put the sub items it will work fine .

BR,

@wooody, can you explain further what you mean?

Upgrading to jquery 1.7 with the module jquery_update worked for me
thanks to #1

@tchopshop If u want make item in menu and make Sub-menu ,,, Dropdown list , u can use the Special menu items module to make Main item in main menu and then make the sub-items.

Hi guys,

Please try this patch and let me know whether this solves the issue.

If you use the latest dev version with this patch, you should see dropdown menus when the menu item is set to "expanded".

It also allows you to nest expanded menus and they will appear as submenus.

Cheers.

I can think of a couple of scenarios where this could be improved, it probably should be optional as well.... so I'll try work on it again later this week.

Hello,

It is possible to make the dropdown working for main menu block ? Actually the main menu is called with the $primary_nav variable, but you can add the main menu using drupal block system too (which is more flexible).

It is possible to make it compatible ? Actually its not.

Same for search

Regards

Alex

Hi Alex,
Yes, it is possible. Give the patch a try and it should work.

I need to reroll patch in #14 against latest dev.

tested the patch and it works.

Just one thing:

Replace
$element['#href'] = "#";

By

$element['#localized_options']['attributes']['data-target'] = '#';

Well i have been snooping around the menus and cleaning up.

here is an other patch, but i think i went too far with it, i added your patch and also remove the main menus and replaced them with a navigation region.

any thoughts on that?

cleaned up the patch so that it only contains code related to this issue, my bad

patch itself

ok i narfed that patch up, here is new one

Seems perfect to me.

#27 worked for me.

Dropdown Sub-menus do not work though. Anyone else working on Sub-menus in the Main Menu?

fixed in this issue http://drupal.org/node/1850934

oops wrong issue sorry

#27: dropdown_menu_v2.patch queued for re-testing.

My only problem with this patch are that it currently forces all menus to be dropdowns. My plan when submitting the original patch was to allow for it to be configurable but I didn't get to that...

I don't really think it works well if all menu's default to dropdowns.

Perhaps it's just something with my sandbox, I will retest.

Ok, issue was my sandbox.

I've re-rolled.

I've committed the patch. To make dropdown menu's, you can set the expanded option, same for nested menus.

I can't make sub menus work...

menu 1
  \  menu 1.1
    \  menu 1.1.1

It displays only a one level dropdown with menu 1.1. All my menus are shown as expanded.

I using latest commit #1a15c89.

Did I miss something?

this commit should be processed with http://drupal.org/node/1460508

@cthiebault I've tested and it's definitely working for me.

I've just committed the patch to #1460508: Don't use menu_tree_page_data for $main_menu and $secondary_menu so, get the latest dev and try it out. Ensure that you have menu 1.1 set to expanded as well, not just the top menu.

If it's still not working, open a new issue with as much info as possible.

Works here. Thank you > natted!

thanks #2 for "show as expanded" in the menu item options, very helpful
