Toggle Menu Behavior

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

I get the behavior I desire when I select "toggle" for the menu display on mobile devices. It shows the multi-tier menu in exactly the way I would like. However, there are two issues that I don't know how to deal with:

1. The annotation I used for the box is "{zen-bars}{/zen-bars} Menu". The bars and the text show up in the lower right corner of the box in an exceedingly small font. How do I change the size/color/position of the annotation?

2. The box with the toggle menu displays in the very upper right corner of the page. How do I put it in a different position on the webpage?

Hello,

I can't see your "hamburger" mobile menu now (top right corner). There's a select menu instead...

Cheers

I'm testing it on only on one page: www.west-fly-fishing.com/index.php/legacy/montana-river-levels

The rest of the site uses a select menu at the moment

Never mind (for now, anyway). I think I figured it out.

Hi,

The "menu" annotation should be dark? If you want to change it to white, try to add the following custom css code:

#logowrap h4 {
color: #fff;
}

That worked well! I'm almost there . . .

Two (should be) easy questions:
1. How to change menu icon size (make bigger)?
2. How to change menu icon alignment (move to left side)?

Thanks,
Scott

Hi,

Try the following custom css code:
.offcanvas-trigger a.btn {
	float: left;
	font-size: 18px;
}

.offcanvas-trigger .fa-bars {
	font-size: 20px;
}

Cheers

I made the CSS changes. So now my additional custom CSS looks like:

.offcanvas-trigger a.btn {
float: left;
font-size: 18px;
}

.offcanvas-trigger .fa-bars {
font-size: 20px;
}

#logowrap h4 {
color: #ffffff;
}

However, I'm not seeing the changes on the site. I set the off-canvas container text style color to ffffff (or any other color), and that has an effect. Also, I expanded the off canvas container to full width, which moves the menu button to the middle, and that's acceptable. But---no change in size, which at this point is my only major issue.

Screen shot below.

I am totally confused. Changes to custom.css are ignored. I have a fair amount of custom css, and it all works fine like it always did. But new changes have no effect. I edit the custom.css, upload it to templates/buildr/css--and it's like I didn't do anything.

For the logowrap colour - you can use the style > colours for that row

See if the */ on line 35 is causing problems for you

You've also got some invalid font selections by the look of it in the template settings

1. Which settings were invalid?

2. I have been setting the "menu" icon colors via the template rather than css. That works well.

3. Apparently an "end comment" tag was inadvertently erased in my custom css. I removed the offending line, but I'm still not getting custom css to behave properly. Very perplexing.

4. All I want to do is make the "menu" icon and text bigger. What is the proper css to do that? Or is there a way to do it through the template manager?

Hi,

I can't see mentioned css code in your custom.css file. If you want to make menu icon and text bigger, please add the following code at the end of your custom.css:
.offcanvas-trigger a.btn {
font-size: 18px;
}

.offcanvas-trigger .fa-bars {
font-size: 20px;
}

Cheers

Hi error isn't showing now in regard to fonts

From memory, it looked like non-google fonts being loaded as a google font

With the colour of text, each row has the option in the settings of adding text colour

Cheers

I resolved my custom.css issues, added the suggested code, flushed the browser history . . . . and it all works beautifully!

Thanks for the help and the patience! No more issues and I'm happy as a clam at high tide.
