Hi!
I have a problem with the Custom Menu - the top-level links (Title1, Title2 etc.) are just not functioning... Even though they appear as clickable links when hovered over. What could be the reason? (Moodle 2.9; Aardverk)
Please, help. Thanks!
Table of Contents||en
-Title1|http...||en --> this is not working!
--Subtitle1|http...||en
--Subtitle2|http...||en
--Subtitle3|http...||en
-Title2|http...||en --> this is not working!
--Subtitle1|http...||en
Can somebody, please, help me with this?
Hi Arturs,
I cannot offer you help, only a few observations. MDL-46652 (fixed) and MDL-49655 (unresolved) seem to be related to your problem.
We use English at our site and have no need to use other languages in the custom menu. So I didn't observe your problem. But even without using different languages in Moodle 3.0.1, the top level links are only working when I right-click on them and select anything from the dropdown menu (e.g., Open link in new tab).
With kind regards,
Hartmut
Hi Hartmut,
I am not sure if these MDLs are related to my problem. The language ||en is used just to limit the user menu appearance to the English version, and that works fine.
My problem is the same as yours - I can open the top-level only with right-click. (Thank you for letting me know that it works this way!)
But that is super annoying and users wont get that.
I am surprised that I did not find this issue raised up in Moodle Tracker. I will then.
Best regards,
Arturs
OK. I created the issue https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-54747
I think that started in 2.8. I was told it wasn't a bug but a feature. My workaround is to make another link in with the siblings that goes to the top level. I use 5-6 levels, so it ts a real pain. ..but it works.
I am wondering - how does it serve as a feature?...
Thanks for the workaround! I think I will have to use it, too, although it is counter-intuitive. Especially, because the non-functioning top level links look like regular and clickable links...

Arturs
If I remember the discussion correctly Artur (and I may be wrong) it was about usage on mobile devices. If the top level of the menu is clickable as a link there is no way to expand the drop down as you can't hover on a tablet/phone
well, it really does make sense then. However, it would be great if the top level links do not look like clickable links (for PC users) then...
Yeah, what Arturs said.
