AdminLTE3 - how to fix active sidebar

[jvbalcita]

Environment:

• AdminLTE Version: version 3 alpha 2
• Operating System: All.
• Browser (Version): All.

In the previous version of AdminLTE which is the Bootstrap 3 there is a fix to make the sidebar dynamically active when selected.

Here's the code used

$(function(){
  /** add active class and stay opened when selected */
  var url = window.location;

  // for sidebar menu entirely but not cover treeview
  $('ul.sidebar-menu a').filter(function() {
     return this.href == url;
  }).parent().addClass('active');

  // for treeview
  $('ul.treeview-menu a').filter(function() {
     return this.href == url;
  }).parentsUntil(".sidebar-menu > .treeview-menu").addClass('active');

});

but now in AdminLTE 3 this code is not working. Is anyone already tried this? and produced a resolution?

Thanks in advance

Hello @jvbalcita

Can you test this, please:

/** add active class and stay opened when selected */
var url = window.location;

// for sidebar menu entirely but not cover treeview
$('ul.nav-sidebar a').filter(function() {
    return this.href == url;
}).addClass('active');

// for treeview
$('ul.nav-treeview a').filter(function() {
    return this.href == url;
}).parentsUntil(".nav-sidebar > .nav-treeview").addClass('menu-open').prev('a').addClass('active');

You should place it bottom on your master layout HTML page or whatever the HTML page you're trying to have the ADMIN LTE Sidebar.

just open a simple tag and put the code in there.

el código va dentro de un script en el pie de pagina antes de finalizar así: this code insert into footer page...

    /** add active class and stay opened when selected */
    var url = window.location;

    // for sidebar menu entirely but not cover treeview
    $('ul.nav-sidebar a').filter(function() {
        return this.href == url;
    }).addClass('active');

    // for treeview
    $('ul.nav-treeview a').filter(function() {
        return this.href == url;
    }).parentsUntil(".nav-sidebar > .nav-treeview").addClass('menu-open').prev('a').addClass('active');

Hello @jvbalcita

Can you test this, please:

/** add active class and stay opened when selected */
var url = window.location;

// for sidebar menu entirely but not cover treeview
$('ul.nav-sidebar a').filter(function() {
    return this.href == url;
}).addClass('active');

// for treeview
$('ul.nav-treeview a').filter(function() {
    return this.href == url;
}).parentsUntil(".nav-sidebar > .nav-treeview").addClass('menu-open').prev('a').addClass('active');

It only works for the first element of second level, could you help me to work with the rest of levels?

放到基础模板或者每个页面的前面。

$(document).ready(function() {
  /** add active class and stay opened when selected */
  var url = window.location;

  // for sidebar menu entirely but not cover treeview
  $('ul.nav-sidebar a').filter(function() {
      return this.href == url;
  }).addClass('active');

  // for treeview
  $('ul.nav-treeview a').filter(function() {
      return this.href == url;
  }).parentsUntil(".nav-sidebar > .nav-treeview").addClass('menu-open').prev('a').addClass('active');
})

I'm using rails 6 with turbolinks and webpacker this code works for me.

$(document).on("turbolinks:load", function() {
  var url = window.location

  $("ul.nav-sidebar a").filter(toggleNavSidebar);
  $("ul.nav-treeview a").filter(toggleNavTreeview);

  function toggleNavSidebar() {
    if (this.href != url) return

    $(this).addClass("active")
  }

  function toggleNavTreeview() {
    if (this.href != url) return

    $(this).parentsUntil(".nav-sidebar > .nav-treeview")
      .addClass("menu-open").prev("a").addClass("active");
  }
})

@arbexmb when blog/users this works but blog/users/3/edit for this url not working for menuopen

I found a solution similar to the one mentioned:

` /* add active class and stay opened when selected / var url = window.location;

// for sidebar menu entirely but not cover treeview
$('ul.nav-sidebar a').filter(function() {
    if (this.href) {
        return this.href == url || url.href.indexOf(this.href) == 0;
    }

}).addClass('active');

// for treeview
$('ul.nav-treeview a').filter(function() {
    if (this.href) {
        return this.href == url || url.href.indexOf(this.href) == 0;
    }

}).parentsUntil(".nav-sidebar > .nav-treeview").addClass('menu-open').prev('a').addClass('active');

`

This code should be placed in adminlte.js.
