Admin Menus

Is there anyway to edit the Admin top menu so it no longer uses the dopdown choices so you an use admin from an iPad?

Tried a couple of iPad browsers and seem to get the same problem but the home button does work due to no other menu option.

~Thanks

Re: Admin Menus

I am also having this problem. I would appreciate some help.

Can we make the menu buttons to show after a mouse click instead of a mouse rollover? I feel like this would solve the problem.

Everything else works perfectly fine on the ipad, except the horizontal menu buttons in the admin area.

Re: Admin Menus

Try the following solution:

1. alter the "skin/common_files/(admin/single/provider)/home.tpl" templates and insert this code right after the <body> tag:

Code:

<!-- iPad fix -->

{literal}

<script type="text/javascript">

$(document).ready(function() {

    // trigger the function when clicking on an assigned element

    $("#horizontal-menu li").click(function () {

        var menuDiv = $(this).children("#horizontal-menu li div");

        if (menuDiv.is(":hidden")) {

            menuDiv.addClass("iPadJSDDMenu");

            menuDiv.slideDown("fast");

        } else {

            menuDiv.removeClass("iPadJSDDMenu");

            menuDiv.hide();

        }

    });

});

</script>

{/literal}

2. alter the "skin/common_files/css/skin1_admin.css" file and replace this code fragment:

Code:

.horizontal-menu-li-hover-div,

#horizontal-menu li:hover div

{

  display: block;

  position: absolute;

  left: -1px;

  top: 21px;

  background: #fff;

  border: 1px #aaa solid;

  border-top: 0 none;

  min-width: 170px;

}

with this one:

Code:

/*.horizontal-menu-li-hover-div,

#horizontal-menu li:hover div

{

  display: block;

  position: absolute;

  left: -1px;

  top: 21px;

  background: #fff;

  border: 1px #aaa solid;

  border-top: 0 none;

  min-width: 170px;

}*/



.iPadJSDDMenu

{

  display: block;

  position: absolute;

  left: -1px;

  top: 21px;

  background: #fff;

  border: 1px #aaa solid;

  border-top: 0 none;

  min-width: 170px;

}

Thats all, after the modification is complete admin menu will be using click JS events instead of DHTML hover.

Thank you.

Re: Admin Menus

I can use other hover drop-down menus on iPad. Maybe this should be considered a bug and fixed in a future version?

Re: Admin Menus

I have CSS-only based menu which works without any problems on iPad/iPhone so yes maybe XC default admin menu is just "broken"

Re: Admin Menus

X-Cart default menu is based on CSS "hover" effect.

This is the style that is used by default:
---
.horizontal-menu-li-hover-div,
#horizontal-menu li:hover div
{
display: block;
position: absolute;
left: -1px;
top: 21px;
background: #fff;
border: 1px #aaa solid;
border-top: 0 none;
min-width: 170px;
}
---

I do not see any problems with it.

As far as I know, on certain iPhones and iPads 'hover' does not work, in contrast to JS "onclick", that works fine on these devices.

I only have a home.tpl file in the /single/ folder. There is no home.tpl in the /admin/ or /provider/ folder.

I tried the fix with adding it only to the home.tpl in the single folder and it didn't work. Help?

Re: Admin Menus

It depends on the X-Cart version you use PRO or GOLD.
In case of Gold only */single/* folder is there.

Try clearing the templates cache (clenup.php script).

Re: Admin Menus

Why is this still an issue in 4.5.3?

*some* store admins use an iPad or iPhone while mobile...

As of the date of this posting, x-cart has not "fixed" 4.5.3.
Forcing us to search the forum, then patch.
Why ?

400 million iOS devices sold through June 2012.
Is this a passing fad?

Right.
Market cap = $595 BILLION
We should all mismanage our companies and make products that people don't buy because the built-in web browser doesn't read X-cart admin menus.
Sure. Makes total sense.

Anyone reading this, remember when we all had to patch our sites for Microsoft (remember them?) IE?

Functionality with iOS should be part of beta testing. If it doesn't work with iOS - EVEN IF IT'S THE FAULT OF iOS - workarounds MUST be applied.

ONCE x-cart recognized (and provided a patch) for this, it should have been added to all future releases.

That's my point.

Re: Admin Menus

4.5.2 admin menus work ok on ipad for me. I have not tested on any phone but again I find it somewhat ridiculous to try and work the admin on 3" screen

Re: Admin Menus

Hm not sure. It's iPad2 and I updated its OS like a week or 2 ago to the last one available for iPad - just when they released iPhone5 with the new OS. But the menus were working before and are working now. Agian this is on iPad2 not on iPhone.

Re: Admin Menus

Here is a possible solution -

in /common_files/single/menu_box.tpl

Replace the text headers
{$lng.lbl_orders}

with a graphic - link similar to this :
<img src="{$SkinDir}/modules/TXS_Service_Scripts/images/admin-logo-box.png" alt="TheXCartStore"/>

I noticed that after adding add ons from TheXcartstore.com that their menu, which has a graphic at the top, opens fine when clicked on an ipad or iphone in 4.4.2

Change the image location to your own - just watch the widths so that it still fits on one screen.

Hope this helps

Re: Admin Menus

I applied this original fix back in 4.4.5 - but after upgrading to 4.7.4 - I once again had the issue on mobile devices with the admin drop down menus not being clickable.

I applied the original fix which worked once again - except it had a knock on effect in desktop view of the admin menus. In the desktop view the top menu becomes clickable and while the pop down menus do appear - you have to be really quick to click on your option otherwise the top level page loads. (because you have to click on it to get the pop down menu)

I just added a simple little arrow image to each menu - works fine in all views and all devices.
