I want to highlight the active page on the side bar menu. I am using Bootstrap (AdminLTE).
I have tried a number of javascript ways to no avail. Kindly anyone help out. Below is the side bar menu.
<ul class="sidebar-menu" >
<li class=""><a href="/dashboard"><i class="fa fa-dashboard"></i> <span>Dashboard</span></a> </li>
<br>
<li class="treeview">
<a href=""> <i class="fa fa-cogs"></i> <span> Account Configuarion</span> <i class="fa fa-angle-left pull-right"></i> </a>
<ul class="treeview-menu">
<li class="treeview">
<a href=""> <i class="fa fa-mobile fa-lg"></i> <span>M-PESA C2B</span> <i class="fa fa-angle-left pull-right"></i> </a>
<ul class="treeview-menu">
<li class=""><a href="/c2b"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-right"></i>C2B Settings</a></li>
<li class=""><a href="/online-checkout"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-right"></i> Online CheckOut</a></li>
<li class=""><a href="/stk-push"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-right"></i> STK Push</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="treeview">
<a href=""> <i class="fa fa-mobile fa-lg"></i> <span>M-PESA B2C</span> <i class="fa fa-angle-left pull-right"></i> </a>
<ul class="treeview-menu">
<li><a href="b2c-documentation"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-right"></i> B2C Settings</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="treeview">
<a href=""> <i class="fa fa-send"></i> <span>SMS</span> <i class="fa fa-angle-left pull-right"></i> </a>
<ul class="treeview-menu">
<li class=""><a href="/sms-setting"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-right"></i>SMS Settings</a></li>
<li class=""><a href="/subscription"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-right"></i>Subscription SMS Settings</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="treeview ">
<a href="#"> <i class="fa fa-cogs"></i> <span>Account Info</span> <i class="fa fa-angle-left pull-right"></i> </a>
<ul class="treeview-menu">
<li class=""><a href="buy-units"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-right"></i> Buy Units</a></li>
<li class=""><a href="/account-details"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-right"></i>Account Details</a></li>
<li class=""><a href="/users"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-right"></i>Account Users</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
I tried with this javascript code but ends up opening all the dropdowns. All the same, it does highlight the current item. But I would want the other items remain closed and only active remains open.
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
var url = window.location;
var element = $('ul.sidebar-menu a').filter(function() {
return this.href == url || url.href.indexOf(this.href) == 0; }).parent().addClass('active');
if (element.is('li')) {
element.addClass('active').parent().parent('li').addClass('active')
}
});
</script>
/** Try this ** > for sidebar and treeview menu in adminLTE, it will add active when clicked and remove any previous active class /** to add active class and remove previously clicked menu */
var url = window.location;
// for sidebar menu but not for treeview submenu
$('ul.sidebar-menu a').filter(function() {
return this.href == url;
}).parent().siblings().removeClass('active').end().addClass('active');
// for treeview which is like a submenu
$('ul.treeview-menu a').filter(function() {
return this.href == url;
}).parentsUntil(".sidebar-menu > .treeview-menu").siblings().removeClass('active menu-open').end().addClass('active menu-open');
