[Done v155a] Admin, alt_nav not working

[torvista]

zen-cart-v1.5.5-03212016

I am finding the alt_nav links do not work at all from the main menu items.
Commenting out the boostrap javascript in header.php restores this functionality.

Hmmm ... I was considering removing alt_nav altogether.

How much do you rely on alt_nav? And with v155 admin menu changes is it even needed?

[lat9]

DrByte, if you've got a small screen (like 1024x768) and a bunch of configuration items, it can be a real PITA to navigate to the last one in the list (albeit less of a pain with the ZC1.5.5 admin).

[DrByte]

On v155 I'm not seeing where alt_nav would provide any benefit

[lat9]

The alt_nav page is static; while the semi-static menu drop-downs in v155 do "hang around", they're also subject to mis-clicking (and thus frustration).

[DrByte]

But the dropdowns have a larger "touch" space, so are more clickable, compared to the old tiny text links in alt_nav

Well I have so many extra configs they are way off the bottom of the screen (laptop, not mobile).
Scroll on mousepad is rubbish at best so just for me yes its useful.

I sure you all in dev-land are fed up of us finding these little bugs post-release when it's been available in beta for months, but I'm also sure many (business/non-devs) people could not justify spending time finding these things until 1.55 was a proper release.

Anyway I found there is an issue about this with bootstrap and drops downs as can be found

And in my meagre testing I found that changing this in header navigation allowed it to work. Can't say I had the energy to understand why (after a day in the snow).
Useful to know what others find:

<a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ALT_NAV) ?>" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="true"><?php echo $menuTitles[$menuKey] ?><b class="caret"></b></a>

to

<a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ALT_NAV) ?>" class="dropdown-toggle disabled" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="true"><?php echo $menuTitles[$menuKey] ?><b class="caret"></b></a>

/admin/includes/header_navigation.php, line 29

<a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ALT_NAV) ?>" class="dropdown-toggle disabled" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="true"><?php echo $menuTitles[$menuKey] ?><b class="caret"></b></a>

I'm agreeable with that.

I agree. Thanks for the code to add that function back. Works perfectly!
