How TO - Mobile Navigation Menu in cassiopeia Joomla Template

Select your language

Step 1: Copy required files

First of all we will copy core menu module template files from modules/mod_menu/tmpl/default.php to our template to templates/cassiopeia/html/mod_menu/dropdown-metismenu.php and edit its content to like that.

$wa = $app->getDocument()->getWebAssetManager();
$wa->registerAndUseScript('metismenu', 'media/templates/site/cassiopeia/js/mod_menu/menu-metismenu.min.js', [], ['defer' => true], ['metismenujs']);

$attributes          = [];

<!-- Load an icon library to show a hamburger menu (bars) on small screens -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">

<!-- Top Navigation Menu -->
<div class="topnav">
  <a href="#home" class="active">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</a>
  <!-- Navigation links (hidden by default) -->
  <div id="myLinks">
    <a href="/component/contact/contact/1-contact?Itemid=102">Contact</a>
    <a href="/component/content/category?layout=blog&Itemid=151">Blog</a>
    <a href="/component/content/article/1-?Itemid=103">About</a>
  </div>
  <!-- "Hamburger menu" / "Bar icon" to toggle the navigation links -->
  <a href="javascript:void(0);" class="icon" onclick="myFunction()">
    <i class="fa fa-bars"></i>
  </a>
</div>

<li class="metismenu-item item-102 level-1">
	<a href="/component/contact/contact/1-contact?Itemid=102">Contact</a>
</li>
<li class="metismenu-item item-102 level-1">
    <a href="/component/content/category?layout=blog&Itemid=151">Blog</a>
</li>

<li class="metismenu-item item-103 level-1">
	<a href="/component/content/article/1-?Itemid=103">About</a>
</li>
</ul>


This highlighted code is addition for mobile menu(will be visible on desktop too).

Step 2: Add CSS & JavaScript to template

May be inside same php file or template css file, you may insert this CSS.

/*********
MENU
*****************/
/* Style the navigation menu */
.topnav {
  position: relative;
}

/* Hide the links inside the navigation menu (except for logo/home) */
.topnav #myLinks {
  display: none;
}

/* Style navigation menu links */
.topnav a {
	color: #fb414d;
	padding: 10px 15px;
	text-decoration: none;
	font-size: 17px;
	display: block;
	margin: 7px;
}

/* Style the hamburger menu */
.topnav a.icon {
  background: #FFFFFF;
  border:1px solid #fb414d;
  border-radius:50%;
  display: block;
  position: absolute;
  right: 0;
  top: 0;
}

/* Add a grey background color on mouse-over */
.topnav a:hover {
  background-color: #ddd;
  color: black;
}

 

Also add following JavaScript:

<script>
/* Toggle between showing and hiding the navigation menu links when the user clicks on the hamburger menu / bar icon */
function myFunction() {
  var x = document.getElementById("myLinks");
  if (x.style.display === "block") {
    x.style.display = "none";
  } else {
    x.style.display = "block";
	x.style.position="absolute";
    x.style.background="#FFFFFF";
    x.style.right="10px";
    x.style.width="250px";
  }
}
</script>

Step 3: Create menu module & select settings

 Now we will create a menu type module from site modules manager. And inside advance tab we will insert menu class ' dropdown ' and select layout 'Collapsible Dropdown' from list like that.

This will result following menu in frontend:
