Hi,

Make sure that our Pro package has been properly installed https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/standard/pro/installation/. If you have added Bootstrap to your project, remove it. Check if there are no typos in path to our files. Then add data-mdb-accordion="true" to your sidenav. Here are two examples with accordion option:
1. https://mdbootstrap.com/snippets/standard/d-wajszczuk/3309791
2.https://mdbootstrap.com/snippets/standard/d-wajszczuk/3309783

Keep coding,
Dawid

from my flask debug log.

If you are using Flask with Jinja, you probably provide "true" with this Jinja syntax. Doing so, it probably will be "True" with uppercase and this is where the problem is. Because for type boolean it needs to be "true" with lowercase. If this doesn't solve your issue, I won't be able to help you without a piece of your code resposible for this sidenav.

Thanks Dawid for your help. I appreciate you. I ended up reinstalling mdb from tar.gz

Here's my jinja2 html template (so far...) https://mdbootstrap.com/snippets/standard/cfo64nc/3312667/


Dawid Wajszczuk staff commented 2 years ago

Does the problem still occur? I have taken a quick look at your code and it seems fine.


cfo64nc pro commented 2 years ago

No, like I said, it's working after I deleted/restored mdb, not sure how it became corrupt or whatever the problem was. Thanks again.


Dawid Wajszczuk staff commented 2 years ago

I'm glad that it is working fine now. Sometimes it is hard to catch error ;)
