Hi,

we’re trying to change the mobile Menu to work like in this example: https://www.jtl-software.de/

So we basically don’t want the parent Menu-items to open the categories page on click but just show the Sub-Menu.

Reason: We’ve been testing the Menu on several mobile devices and where (sometimes) barely able to click the little arrow on the right, also most users are not used to this kind of design.

——————————

What I’ve tried so far is just removing the href-attribute via jQuery and insert the open-child span-tag again. And then, later just show/hide the Sub-Menu.
```
if ($(window).width() < 960) {
$('.menu-parent-item').html($('.menu-parent-item a:first').removeAttr('href'));
$( '<span class="open-child">(open)</span>' ).insertBefore( $( '.menu-parent-item a:first' ));
// show sub-menu 
}
else {
//nothing
}
```
Well.. that’s not working, because the whole child-tags just dissapeared when I tried.

———————————————————————-

What is the right/easiest way to achieve the desired result?

If you can’t provide an easy solution, can you tell me the files where I can find all the code for the mobile Menu (javascript, php, html whatsoever)?

Thank you for your help. You did a great job on this template. 🙂

Kind regards,
Chris

Well, we needed a quick solution so I couldn’t wait any longer.

If anyone needs to do the same here’s my quick and dirty solution:

Open: /themes/royal/js/etheme.js
Look out for:
```
   // **********************************************************************//
    // ! Mobile navigation
    // **********************************************************************//
```
Change it to this:
```
    var navList = $('.mobile-nav .menu');
    var etOpener = '<span class="open-child">(open)</span>';
    navList.addClass('et-mobile-menu');

    navList.find('li:has(ul)',this).each(function() {
        $(this).prepend(etOpener);
        $(this).find('a:first').removeAttr('href');
        $(this).find('a:first').addClass('mmenuclickable');
    });  

    navList.find('.mmenuclickable').click(function(){
        if ($(this).parent().hasClass('over')) {
            $(this).parent().removeClass('over').find('> ul').slideUp(200);
        }else{
            $(this).parent().parent().find('> li.over').removeClass('over').find('> ul').slideUp(200);
            $(this).parent().addClass('over').find('> ul').slideDown(200);
        }

    });

    navList.find('.open-child').click(function(){
        if ($(this).parent().hasClass('over')) {
            $(this).parent().removeClass('over').find('> ul').slideUp(200);
        }else{
            $(this).parent().parent().find('> li.over').removeClass('over').find('> ul').slideUp(200);
            $(this).parent().addClass('over').find('> ul').slideDown(200);
        }
    });
```
Seems to work, yet I’m still disappointed that noone has had that question before. 😉
