How to implement a built-in toggle mobile navigation

A simple and clean navigation is essential to a well designed website. One size, however, does not necessarily fit all. This document will walk you through adding a built in toggle javascript navigation that will replace your standard navigation responsively when your site is being viewed on mobile screens, like the image above. This solution is integrated with the Site Maps tool, so that menu items remain easy to edit.

Once installed you may need to address styling issues so the navigation matches your site. Additionally, !important tags used in the desktop navigation may carry over.

Add custom class to Advanced Menu module

  • Navigate to the  Menu module of the Template where you would like to implement the mobile navigation.
  • Click the gear icon on the menu module, choose Edit CSS, and add the class "custom-menu-primary" in the Custom CSS Class (advanced) section.
  • Click Publish Changes on the template.

Add or replace mobile navigation Javascript

Navigate to Template Builder > Code > Custom > Page > company_theme > CompanyMain.js.

If you do not have a CompanyMain.js file you will need to create one by following these steps:

  • In the Template Builder, click the "New" button at the top of the page
  • Choose "Code Editor" and "Page" and hit "Create"
  • Name the file "CompanyMain.js" (do not use the name of your company instead of the generic CompanyMain.js)
  • Click Save

In the .js file add this code or replace it for any pre-existing mobile nav script:


$(function() {

    /** 
     * Mobile Nav
     *
     * Hubspot Standard Toggle Menu
     */

    $('.custom-menu-primary').addClass('js-enabled');
    
    /* Mobile button with three lines icon */
        $('.custom-menu-primary .hs-menu-wrapper').before('<div class="mobile-trigger"><i></i></div>');
        
    /* Uncomment for mobile button that says 'MENU' 
        $('.custom-menu-primary .hs-menu-wrapper').before('<div class="mobile-trigger">MENU</div>');
    */
    
    $('.custom-menu-primary .flyouts .hs-item-has-children > a').after(' <div class="child-trigger"><i></i></div>');
    $('.mobile-trigger').click(function() {
        $(this).next('.custom-menu-primary .hs-menu-wrapper').slideToggle(250);
        $('body').toggleClass('mobile-open');
        $('.child-trigger').removeClass('child-open');
        $('.hs-menu-children-wrapper').slideUp(250);
        return false;
     });

    $('.child-trigger').click(function() {
        $(this).parent().siblings('.hs-item-has-children').find('.child-trigger').removeClass('child-open');
        $(this).parent().siblings('.hs-item-has-children').find('.hs-menu-children-wrapper').slideUp(250);
        $(this).next('.hs-menu-children-wrapper').slideToggle(250);
        $(this).next('.hs-menu-children-wrapper').children('.hs-item-has-children').find('.hs-menu-children-wrapper').slideUp(250);
        $(this).next('.hs-menu-children-wrapper').children('.hs-item-has-children').find('.child-trigger').removeClass('child-open');
        $(this).toggleClass('child-open');
        return false;
    });

});

After publishing the file, click the Actions button and choose Get public URL. Copy the public url.

Reference the script in footer of template

While you could link the script to your entire site by adding with content settings, it is recommended that you only apply it to templates that require this mobile menu. This reduced the likelihood of conflicts, when using different themes within the same account.

To edit the footer of a template:

  • Locate one of your template layouts in Design Manager
  • Click the gear icon on the global footer and choose Edit Group
  • If there is not already a HTML module that contains Javascript files, add an HTML module, click its gear icon, and choose Edit options. If there is a existing module, click the gear icon > Edit options.
  • Write a script tag, and paste in the public URL as its source. See demo and example code below:
footer-js.gif 

    <script src='{{ get_public_template_url("custom/page/Company_Theme/CompanyMain.js") }}'></script>

Style the mobile menu

  • Navigate to your CSS stylesheet.
  • Find the "Mobile Menu" section and replace it with the following code.
  • If you do not already have a "Mobile Menu" section simply paste this code at the end of your stylesheet:
 

/* ==========================================================================
   Custom Menu Primary
   ========================================================================== */


{% set ulColor       = "" %} /* Set ul background color */
{% set liColor       = "" %} /* Set li background Color */

{% set aColorHover   = "" %} /* Set link Hover Color */

.custom-menu-primary .hs-menu-wrapper > ul{ 
  background:{{ ulColor }};
}

}
.custom-menu-primary .hs-menu-wrapper > ul > li > a{
  color:{{ aColor }};

}

}

/* Override max width on menu links */
.custom-menu-primary .hs-menu-wrapper > ul li a,

  overflow: visible !important;

  • menuColorMobile - Set Mobile Menu Background Color
  • aColorMobile - Set Link Color
  • aColorHoverMobile - Set Link Hover Color
