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?

becuase apple sucks and they dont design there stuff to work the way you want it to, they could easly allow it to work fine as it works great with several versions of android.

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.

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

iOS6?
I can confirm 4.5.3 gold plus admin menus do not work on iPhone 5, iOS 6

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.

Its working Great..!!

One glitch is there.. If Multiple menu are opened. all are open at same time.

Can that be fixed ?

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

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.

working
