Topic: sideNav Toggle Open/Close

acscreative free asked 5 years ago

Im trying to have my sidenav button work like a toggle. Click once and it opens and click again and it closes. 

I know in your demo you have the button covered up when its open so just clicking on the background overlay works fine there but the way I have it set up is the button will always be visible. Right now it just re-does to open part and the bg just gets darker every time. 

Here is a snippet I found that is my exact problem and even found a couple different topics on it. I see you might be working on a fix but maybe we can have a small snippet of JS to just put in our file for a work around for now? Kind of need a solution quick for this build.

Thanks for the time

When the sidenav is open other element are in background and can't be used. How to fixe that ?

Piotr Glejzer staff commented 5 years ago

Did you try use somehow 

$('#sidenav-overlay').remove();
 
or something like that when you click on the button?

Pytchoun free commented 5 years ago

no i didn't i used your code

Piotr Glejzer staff commented 5 years ago

Ok. But It's not a bug. That is an assumption about sidenav. If you click on button sidenav is moving and cover all other elements.

Hi Piotr,

Thanks for the reply.

I have seen that one but it will not fix my issue. I need to be able to click on the same button that I used to open the nav with.

I have tried some code that would hook into the closing function that fires when you click the overlay the same you sent. I was trying to create a if then statment that would make the open button a toggle or something like that but with no luck. 

Really hopping we can get some kind of hack that will give us a solution until you have something that is fully baked in.

Thanks

if you find one share with me

Piotr Glejzer staff commented 5 years ago

We don't have that solution for now. SideNav is constructed how you see. If you click on button SideNav is forward to and covering the button. We have on our list to do to 'rewrite' SideNav and fix all bugs, but I can't give you ETA when we will do that. Sorry about that. 

.button-collapse{
z-index:3000;
}
If you try to use this CSS code you will have button always visible but how I said, this is not possible for now have a button toggling open/close.
