No Drop Down Buttons on Accordion Menu

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Hi as you can see here there aren't any drop down arrows or button on the accordion menu. The settings for the module are identical to the ones used on the demo site for the template - on the template demo the accordion menu has arrows.

How do I get them?

Thanks.

Is the JB Type plugin installed and enabled?

Ah forgot to enable it. Sorted now. But how do I change the font back, enabling it seems to have changed the font of just that module?

This is a small bug

Try adding this to the custom.css

#sidebar-1 ul.nav > li .separator { font-family: 'open sans' }
#sidebar-1 ul.nav > li .separator:before {font-family: FontAwesome;}

I should mention you would need to change the separator css if you later change the font used

The custom.css code doesn't seem to have worked.

I'm getting these errors in the console for the page discussed:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden)
fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Tahoma:400,600,300%7COpen+Sans:400,600,300%7C&subset=latin,latin

Thanks.

Tahoma isn't a google font so isn't available via the Google api

If you use a google font listed on google fonts does that work?

If you use a google font and add that font to the css that I suggested does the css work?

It only need font name speech marks if its two words

A few things going with how the code is added

you have comments which are added incorrectly

"Accordion Menu Font Error"

and

"Mega Menu Font Settings"

Adding comments

You have also added a mixture of menu headings and separators so the separator style only works on the one item that uses the separator class

I've got rid of the comments and changed them all the separators but the font is still different?

It looks ok to me are you clearing the browser cache after making changes to the site?

If on a pc F5 will refresh the screen and in most cases display any new changes

Ah great. Thank you. Is there a way to make them as bold as the single links (e.g 'Life After Death' and 'Religious Language')

Also, how do i get the menu to start collapsed?

Thanks.

Accordion settings
There should be a setting section for the accordion - I think in the Add ons section

Yes all separators need to be bold.

Try adding

#sidebar-1 ul.nav > li .separator {font-weight: bold;}

Ah good. That's worked.

I can see the settings for the accordion menu in the add on section but changing them doesn't seem to have an effect?
