Mobile menus with Quark

Hi,
Is there a way to change how the menus are shown on a mobile site?
(I have the 'Mobile detect plugin' installed)
With the Antimatter theme, the menus on a mobile are looking like this:

That makes the it easy to select a menu when you have 'big' fingers. (like mine for example :-) )

When I change the theme to Quark, it then looks like this:

Not that easy to use, so I would like to ask if there is something I can change so that the menus are displayed in expanded mode instead of having the '+' sign in front of the menus.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi djdakta,

first of all sorry for my english.
I have had the same problem with 'big' fingers.
My idea was to modify the quark template to have the menu text act as button additionally to the plus/minus sign.
I am a newbie in web-development therefore my solution may be a bad hack and someone can provide a better (correct) solution for this problem.

I added the following code at line 63 in jquery.treemenu.js:

this.find("> li:not(.tree-empty)").each(function() {
    e = $(this);
    anchor=e.find('a:first');
    toggler=e.find('span:first');
    toggler.html(anchor.html().trim());
    anchor.html('<br>');
    anchor.attr("href","#");
});

This pulls the text out of the submenus parent and adds it to the toggler.
The text of the submenus parent is replaced by a line break.
In the first place I tried to hide the submenus parent but then the layout of the menu gets messed up.

Additionally you have to adjust font sizes and margins for the toggler in _mobile.scss to match the style of the rest of the menu:

.toggler {
    cursor: pointer;
    vertical-align: top;
    font-size: 1rem;
    line-height: 1rem;
    padding-left: 5px;
    float: left;

    &:before {
      display: inline-block; margin-right: 5pt;
    }
  }

Hi pmo,

Thanks for your reply. (and sorry for my bad english)
I'll do the changes as you've explained it and I'll let you know what the result is.
I was thinking in the same direction as you but was not sure of myself. 😦

Thank you "pmo", it helped a lot! To get a bit a wider tab-range and that Submenu Point colored when active, I put two more lines in your code (the css has to be customized):
<code>
.... anchor.attr("href","#");
toggler.css({"cssText" : "padding-right: calc(100% - 220px)" });
if (e.children().hasClass("active")) { toggler.css({"cssText" : "color: var(--color1); opacity: 1 !important; font-weight: 600; padding-right: calc(100% - 220px)" })};
});

Hi,

You can test this and modify the values to your needs

/* 
    ############# <a> --- Enlarge the click area (min recommended 20px)
*/

.treemenu li {
    /* REMOVE */
    padding: 5px 0;
}

.treemenu li a {
    /* ADD -  Increasing the height */
    padding: 13px 0;
}

/* 
    ############# .toggler
*/
.treemenu li {
    /* ADD */
    display: -webkit-box;
    display: -ms-flexbox;
    display: flex;

    -ms-flex-wrap: wrap;
    flex-wrap: wrap;

    -webkit-box-align: stretch;
    -ms-flex-align: stretch;
    align-items: stretch;
}

.treemenu li a {
    /* REMOVE */
    margin-left: 1.2rem;
}

.treemenu ul {
    /* ADD */
    -webkit-box-flex: 0;
    -ms-flex: 0 0 100%;
    flex: 0 0 100%;
    max-width: 100%;
}

.treemenu .toggler {
    /* REMOVE */
    line-height: 1rem;
    float: left;
    padding-left: 5px;

    /* ADD */
    padding: 0 10px; /* Increase width */

    display: -webkit-box;
    display: -ms-flexbox;
    display: flex;

    -webkit-box-align: center;
    -ms-flex-align: center;
    align-items: center;
}

It should look like this
