Accordian menu on Left Side does not show all item in sub menus
« on: October 15, 2022, 02:33:42 AM »
I have an accordian menu on the left.
The setup menu has Sub-menus for the various areas.
But it only shows maybe 3 of 6 menus?  Is there a way to expand this?  or add a slider,  or   ...  I'm open to alternatives.

Hi Sean,

I'm not understanding what you are seeing, so maybe a screen-shot will help?
Or better yet, and example and a screen shot.

Cheers
Bruce

use Developer Tools to inspect the CSS panel on the left\. There is presumably some height setting in play there.
(I can't really me more specific than that because you didn't include an example.)

So either extended the height property, or set the overflow-y to something.

Cheers

Thanks Bruce that was enough info for me to track something down.
I added a custom.css  to the web\styles
and put this in it:

/*  Auto adds scroll bar when needed */
.nt-accordion-menu-body {
  overflow: auto !important;
    overflow-x: auto;
    overflow-y: auto;
}

Works brilliantly now :)

Excellent!

But why do you need to explicitly set overflow-x and overflow-y when you've already set overflow: auto !important

??

Short answer Jane:  That's the first thing I tried, it worked, I'm NOT touching it again because I'm afaraid it will burst into blue flames!   ;D
