Menu behaviour

No that is not a bug, it is supposed to load the page. We are however going to release an option to disable that.

Regarding the command click, have you cleared cache (server and browser) since updating?

Ah ok – the presence of the chevron in default templates kind of implies the ability to just open the menu so that surprised me.

re: cache – yes, had done, and just did so and tested again to be sure

Thanks

I would also like the option to be able to set this behavior, especially when using the “dynamic” admin sidebar.

@leggroup I know you mentioned cmd click, but just to confirm you are indeed on a mac? I have tested this feature on mac in every major browser it is working as expected.

Are you able to create a test template and just drag a new menu block and content block in there and see if it works for you? Without changing any settings

Yep, am on a Mac using Chrome (have also tried in FDE and Safari)

Tried on a fresh install, same outcome

Ok that’s strange, can you try it on our demo site and see if that works? I am also testing on mac and it works perfectly there as well for me:

https://app.instawp.io/launch?t=uipress-lite

On there it appears I can CMD-click but not middle-click

Thanks ??

We have made several changes to the menu to make it more accessible and also allow for normal keyboard shortcut clicks etc for the next release and it should fix the issues. We are planning to release later today

The release of v3.0.97 should have fixed this issue

@admintwentytwenty are you saying that the latest release has a setting to disable loading the page of the menu item when attempting to navigate to a submenu while in either the inline or dynamic admin menu modes? If so, it doesn’t seem to be working, or it isn’t clear how to configure it. There should at least be an option where the contents of the frame do not load/reload on clicking a top-level menu item unless there are no submenu items, as the UX intent is rarely to go directly to that page, but often to a different (non-first) submenu item.

@blakmarkit in the current release it’s not but the next version which is releasing on Friday has an option to disable this behaviour.

Awesome! Looking forward to it.

Confirmed the new menu option is working. Love it! Thank you for the quick updates.

For those looking later, you can open your admin template from the Settings > uiBuilder menu, select the Admin menu block that controls the sidebar in the uiPress editor and enable the “Disable auto load on top level items” option. Save then do a full page refresh.
