[Resolved] Reverse / Flip Position of Slideout Menu (Right)

[Webmaster]

Here is my problem in a short video-clip.

I desire to change the slideout direction. Instead of making it appear on the left, I wish to make it right, not left. When I add the code below, it works but the animation is choppy.

nav#generate-slideout-menu {
    right: 0px;
    left: initial !important;
}

May you please recommend a superior alternative? Perhaps I can dive into the functions.php or just update some code? Is the slideout animation transition 100% css or is there some J$ love in there?

Give this a shot:

.slideout-navigation {
    left: auto !important;
    right: 0;
    transform: translateX(100%) !important;
}

.slide-opened .slideout-navigation {
    transform: translateX(0px) !important;
}

Works perfectly – thanks!

What if we wanted to close the slideout using the ESC hotkey on keyboard? It’ll have 100% usability with this..

That would need to be included in the script – I’ll look into it.

I noticed that when I added that CSS that it does flip the side, but it also covers up the “X” to close it. Any suggestions?

On mobile or desktop (or both)?

You’d have to float the 3 bars to the left side.

Hey there,

just started with GeneratePress, I like it so far.

I have the same problem as Andrew. I would like to have the burger-/x-toggle staying at the right.

I moved the ul for the slideout menue down a bit to make room for the toggle.

#menu-slideout-menue {
    margin-top: 169px;
}

I hoped, I can use a z-index of 100001 to get the toggle in front of the menu, but I don’t know which element I have to set the z-index. I tried #generate-slideout-menu, .slideout-toggle even .inside-navigation – all brought the x-toggle to the front and the mouse pointer changes to the finger, when I hover it, but when I click, nothing happens.

Hope, someone knows a solution for this.

Hi there,

Any example of what you’re trying to do?

You can add a custom menu item to your slide-out menu with the class of slideout-toggle and it will close the menu when you click it.

You can see an example at http://junkyard.junkfest.de/, Tom.

The custom menu item may be an solution, but then the visibility of the former “X” should not change to visible, when I click the burger icon.

[Tom]

You could do this:

.slideout-toggle.opened {
    display: none;
}
