How to keep left accordion menu open while navigating to child sections?

[Simini]

Hi all,

I wonder if there is a possibility to keep the accordion menu on side bar, open , while navigating to child sections, of the parent menu item,

The problem is that, any time I navigate to child section, I have to collapse the accordion, choose desired child menu, which closes back once I arrive to the desired page,

I have to repeat this action while I'm staying in same section (category), which maybe disturbing from UX point of view,

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks
Simon

hello,
1) you add the following CSS to file template /jv-hosting/css/custom.css :
ul.accordion li.active.parent > .divsubmenu { display: block;} 2) you add the following JS to file template /jv-hosting/html/mod_menu/accordion line 15 http://prntscr.com/c8qm2n
$('.parent.active > p > .fa').addClass('min');

Hi ossmygoal,

Appear an other issues with accordion menu on side bar,

1.It doesn't show the menu item if it's configured as URL Alias in main menu, Please see http://test-packetlight2.finance-aid.com/about.html,
While in main menu bar 'Press Releases' (Item Menu Alis) appears , you can't see the 'Press Releases' appears in left side menu. (please see attached image exhibit-1)
It works absolutely fine in "Default" and "Vertical" menu layouts (please see attached image exhibit-2)

2. Accordion menu continues to show icons (fa-plus-square-o and fa-minus-square-o ) instead of fa-angle-right in case I don't want to show the child items on left menu.
(Please See the exhibit-3)


Thanks Simon

1) We still don't know clearly your problem. The pictures are too small
2) You can add the following JS to file template /jv-hosting/html/mod_menu/accordion line 20 http://prntscr.com/c9oxzx
$('.parent').each(function(){ var el = $(this); if (!el.find('ul').length) { el.removeClass('parent'); } });

2)Problem number 2 was successfully solved thanks to you
1)Problem number 1 navigate to http://test-packetlight2.finance-aid.com/about.html , please pay attention that in main navigation menu you have the "Press Releases" menu (It's configured as Menu Item Alias in Menu section on Joomla )
The problem is that
Once the module layout configuration is 'accordion' the Press Releases menu - doesn't show on left side menu http://prntscr.com/c9s7jf
When the module layout configuration is as 'default' or 'vertical' , it performs nicely http://prntscr.com/c9sc14

3) On Main Navigation Menu, child level menu continues to show after, I configured it NOT to Show in Menu Section on Joomla http://prntscr.com/c9sfhb http://prntscr.com/c9sg41
