Knowledge Base support case for AllWebMenus, abstracted and stripped of all user’s private info.
Initial Email From: Eberhard
Initial Email Subject: Sliding Menu
Support Case Month: August 2012
Hi there,
i am using your allwebmenus sliding option. in this particular menu option i have chosen "remember the menu state...".
that's good, but what i need to do if i don't want to use this function e.g. when user is choosing back to main-page. at the moment when i call the main page within the project the sliding menu keeps open, but in this case id like to close it.
looking forward to hear from you.
thanks and regards
Eberhard

Dear Eberhard,
I guess that what you really want to use is the “automatic highlight” feature:

This will always highlight the “current” menu item, regardless of the way you ended up in the current page.

Hi Kostas,
sorry for my late reply.
No this is not my problem. Pls have a look at the following draft webpage http://test.paradise-tour.de
When you choose e.g. Karibik at the side menu, the sliding menu is opening with submenu structure. When you choose here any destination the side menu keeps open. That's what I want.
BUT the idea is in the header menu when you choose Paradise; you will be re-rooted to the index-page. But then the side menu should be shown without the sub-menu.
Hope I could make it clear and hope you have a solution for me.
My understanding is, that you store in a cookie the last opened position. So if this is correct then I only need to delete this cookie when you choose the Paradise in header menu.
Let's see; looking forward receiving your answer.
Kind regards
Eberhard

Dear Eberhard,
There are two (automatic) ways to open a submenu:
1) Using the “auto-highlight” option, as I suggested in the previous email, the menu is matched with the page URL and opens (or closes) the correct submenu
2) For Sliding menus, using the “remember state” option will always open the menu in the state it was last open, irrespective of the page you are in.
I assume from what I saw that you currently have both options selected, while you don’t really want the second one.
In this case, you need to uncheck the “remember state” option:
