create a functioning side menu

spinsker

My side menu will not open levels. Is there any way to do this in Athena?

Hi spinsker,
Could you send me the admin account? I will help you check and resolve this issue.

I have updated the user info in the field above.
Please ignore the "ACCORDEON COMMUNITY MENU" below. I am just demoing a 3rd party menu system there.

Hi spinsker,
I have updated the default.php and default_heading.php files in the \templates\ja_athena\htm\mod_menul folder.
Also, you can download this folder and override it into the \templates\ja_athena\htm folder.

Thanks. It looks weird. (different font colors and styles if there is a submenu)
I may have to stick with the 3rd party option. Just surprised this functionality isn't native to the template.

Hi spinsker,
We need to override this module from Joomla, you can add the following CSS code to the backend > site template styles > ja - athenna > Tools > Custom CSS to improve the style.
NOTE: I have helped you added this code:

.sidebar-l .module .navbar li.nav-item a {
    color: #636363;
    font-size: 12px;
}

.sidebar-l .module .navbar li.nav-item ul.dropdown-menu {
    border: 0;
}

.sidebar-l ul.navbar-nav {
    width: 100%;
}

.sidebar-l .module .navbar li.nav-item a::after {
    position: absolute;
    right: 0;
    top: 50%;
    transform: translateY(-50%);
}
