Hello,
I’m new to Joomla and JoomlArt 😀
BUT, I’m not new to forums. Prior to posting this thread, I went through and read EVERY SINGLE thread relating to the Sugite template, all 8 pages :p I’ve also read through the entire Documentation and every side article linked from that page. With that disclaimer, this post isn’t an implementation issue, but a functionality one.The problem, a bug I would say, present in Sugite 1.1.0 is that the expandable menus cannot be collapsed on tablets or phones. When the drop down arrow is pressed for a menu item, the sub categories expand perfectly. However, when a user attempts to close them, instead of closing, they are taken to the main menu link instead.
Steps to Replicate issue:
1. Click on drop down arrow on menuMenu Expands
2. Click on drop down menu again to collapse
Does not collapse but redirects
This is a major UI hickup that detracts from the user navigation experience. Hopefully, it is an easy fix.

Version: Latest Quickstart installation. Minimal customizations (i.e. logo, favicon)
Incubation Period: Tested on multiple devices and OS. Bug present on phone, tablet, and resized desktop window.
HI yangyangli
I checked your site . but i have not found those menus items
see this
As you mentioned when you goes to menu drop down it will open and ,
when you want to close it drop part it will redirect you to that menu .
First of all the menu drop down is working on hover .
If you want to close the submenu items, just click out side the menu bar .
because when you click on Bonus page for closing the submenu it means you are opening that menu item .
see thisHope it helps

</blockquote>Apology for this misleading statement. Actually, there are two triggers for dropdown menu items: one is “Hover” and the second one is “Click” but I have a feeling that you already know that, judging on the evidence of your meticulous testing and thorough report 🙂
To your question, I feel you have a point as we indeed have many instances in Joomla control panel itself, where we expand and collapse elements by clicking on the same item, like main menus and their sub-menu items, for example:
To expect the same conventional behavior from elements and items placed on front pages would only make sense. One example of such behavior implemented can be found at http://demo.joomla.org::
Having said that, (as far as JA Sugite is concerned) I don’t find the current expanding and collapsing behavior of a menu item and its sub-menu items for smaller screens as a bug as there is a logic in it. Whatever dropdown trigger you select, – hover or click, to expand a menu item with its sub-menu items, for both triggers you have to make an “away” step to collapse them.
In case of the “hover” trigger, you have to hover over a menu item to expand it and hover “away” from it – to collapse it. In case of the “click” trigger, you have to click on a menu item to expand it and click “away” from this menu item to collapse it. Seems logical to me.
Would be nice though to hear what our developers would say on this point.

Thank you for understanding the bug I pointed out. Your explanation confirmed what I thought.

The logic behind the clicks make sense to you, but probably because you’ve thought about it much! For the user, basic functionality should be self evident and require no thought. Also, remember the issue I’m referring to exists on phones and tablets so CLICKs are the only trigger. For mobile browsing, users have been conditioned to think that if pressing a button expands a menu, then pressing the button again will collapse it. The parallel for desktops is what you described, clicking or hovering over a menu expands it, then clicking or hovering away collapses it. There are two world in conflict here 😉It would be great if the the little drop down arrows exhibited the same functionality as:
Beautiful drop down menu!

</blockquote>I would like to know what they think about this issue. For me, the issue doesn’t currently pose a problem as I have no need for submenus. However, there are others that use this template and everything can be improved.
A similar problem exists with the “Return to Top” button. Clicking it leaves it in a permanent on-hover state.
After it’s clicked, it remains highlighted.
Only when the user clicks away does it return to it’s initial state.
The button should have the same behavior as these:
These are really small issues. The fact I’m pointing them out attests to how perfect Sujite is!
