Javascript From Themeable Menu

[Bucky108]

Running Javascript from a themeable menu doesn't seem to work (it works fine from a CSS menu).

It this possible to do?

[Pablo]

At the moment this functionality is not available for the Theme-able menu.
I will investigate if this can implemented in a future update.

[Bucky108]

Thanks Pablo.

Could there be some kind of workaround?

[Pablo]

I do not have a workaround. This will require a modification in the software.

[Bucky108]

OK Thanks.

[Bucky108]

Pablo thank you for adding support for events in the Themeable menu!

[Bucky108]

I was very glad to see this but when I actually tried it, it did not work.

Simple test; create a blank page, add a themeable menu, then on one of the item's onclick event add run javascript - e.g. alert('Hello');

Are there parameters in the menu or item properties that have to be set for it to work?

.

[Pablo]

Maybe you have added the event to a parent item?
In that case, it will not work because otherwise the sub menu cannot be displayed.

[Bucky108]

I tried removing all items and subitems and then I added a new item and added the run javascript onclick event to that but it still didn't work.

[Pablo]

Do you have a demo project so I can see all your settings?

[Pablo]

I assume you are referring to the page 'FG'?
This seems to work correct.

[Bucky108]

Yes I meant FG (I forgot I had other pages in that project).

I'm using Microsoft Edge ..are you using Chrome or Firefox?

[Bucky108]

I published the page to a test folder on my site:

https://www.goldhealer.com/test/

Tried it in different browsers and I'm not getting the javascript alert.

[Pablo]

Are you sure that you are using the latest version of the software?

[Bucky108]

Yes.. 16.1.2

[Pablo]

Your project works for me.

Are you using the 32bit or 64bit version?

[Bucky108]

64 bit version.

[Pablo]

Can you please download the software again to make sure that you have the latest build?

[Bucky108]

Yes I have already done that with the same result.

Also the About under Help shows 16.1.2 (Jan 15 2021)

[Pablo]

Jan 15, 2021 is not the latest build.
Please reinstall.

[Bucky108]

OK I just installed the January 19th version and that worked.

It's still the same version number though so just curious .. was this not a new subversion number? Also in the Jan 15 version it was saying I have the latest version when I clicked check for updates.

Anyway thanks for adding this feature.

A simple explanation for this there may have been a "Hot Fix" If this was the case then there is usually a delay before it catches up.

Besides regular updates, there are also hotfixes. Usually a hotfix is released a few hours after someone has reported a problem (as an extra service), so they do not have to wait until the next update before this issue get fixed.
Hotfixes do not include a version number increase because this would take a lot of extra time. And the idea of an hotfix is to get an update out as quickly as possible.

Good to know...thank you.
