2 questions regarding menu dely and tab links
Dear KeenThemes Team,
thank you very much for this perfect framework! Thanks to your diligent work I was able to create the frontend of a member portal within a few weeks.
Thanks to the good documentation and the many examples I got along very well. Except for two things:
1. delay at mouse over of menu elements (see https://preview.keenthemes.com/html/keen/docs/general/menu/api). For many elements with MouseOver events it makes sense to have a delay when they appear. Unfortunately, the $menu-dropdown-animation-speed variable seems to only change the fade effect, but not a delay. How can I achieve this?
2. external accessibility of further tab contents (e.g. index.html#more). Possibly it's me, but I haven't found a way to create working links to the other tab contents. Do you have a tip for me?
Thanks a thousand in advance and best regards
Gordon

Hi 
,
Thank you for your kind words about Keen. Really appreciate it. May I know if are you using the Keen or Metronic theme?
If you are using the latest Keen v3.x/Metronic 8.x:
1) To activate the tab using the URL hash you should add the below function in src/js/components/app.js right after initModal function and call it under the init function right after initModal call and recompile your assets with gulp or webpack. Then you will be able to activate the tabs using <core>url.com#kt_stats_widget_16_tab_2
var initTabs = function() {
const hash = decodeURIComponent(window.location.hash).replace(/\s/g, "-").substring(1);
let tabEl = document.querySelector("[data-bs-toggle][data-bs-target="#" + hash + ""]");
if (!tabEl) {
tabEl = document.querySelector("[data-bs-toggle="pill"][href="#" + hash + ""]");
}
if (!tabEl) {
tabEl = document.querySelector("[data-bs-toggle="tab"][href="#" + hash + ""]");
}
if (tabEl) {
bootstrap.Tab.getOrCreateInstance(tabEl).show();
}
}2) You can try to change the Dropdown hover timeout in the KTMenu plugin's source
js/components/menu.js</code:
// Default Options
var defaultOptions = {
dropdown: {
hoverTimeout: 200,
zindex: 107
},
accordion: {
slideSpeed: 250,
expand: false
}
};
We will consider exposing this parameter to the HTML attribute level in a future update.
Please give it a try and please let us know the result.
Regards.Hi,
thanks for the quick reply and support! I use the Metronic theme in the latest version.
Re 1. Unfortunately, there is no initModal function in my app.js file, although I never modified this file. However, I did test-copy the initTabs function in various places and then recompiled the assets in each case. But unfortunately without success. What did I do wrong?
To 2. adjusting the hoverTimeout value affects the disappearance of the context menu after moving the mouse somewhere else. However, I am interested in delaying the appearance of the menu when I move the mouse over the button or trigger point. Twitter has something like this when you hover the mouse over a username. Any idea how I can implement this?
Thanks a million!
Hi,
If possible, please try to use the latest Metronic v8.1.7 by downloading it from Metronic Downloads.
If your version does not have the init modal function you can add the initTabs after any init methods. The timeout for appearance is not available now but we will consider adding this in a future update. For now, we will add it to our todo list.
Regards.
