- Description
Checking the page with the browser inspector, I find the class
dropdown-menu-bottomthat wasn't there before. Two questions:- Why is this applied to a vertical menu in a side column where there is plenty of vertical space for dropdowns to display normally? It would be appropriate in a menu in the footer module zone.
- Bootstrap already has a dropup class. And Smartmenus already have a
sm-navbar--drop-reverse-yclass to provide "drop up" behavior. I usually have a horizontal system menu in the bottom zone and add this class when assigning the module. Unless I'm missing something, if the desired behavior is for dropdowns to drop upward, why not use these classes instead of reinventing the wheel with superfluous CSS?
IMO it's really important for all developers who work on the Tiki interface to be very familiar with the Bootstrap classes that are available, and to use these instead of increasing the size of Tiki stylesheets with new homegrown rules that do the same thing.- Solution
- I didn't check the details but this has been fixed so I'm closing this bug report.
