Is it possible to have a multi level dropdown menu by using the elements of twitter bootstrap 2? The original version doesn't have this feature.
This question is related to
css
twitter-bootstrap
I was able to fix the sub-menu's always pinning to the top of the parent menu from Andres's answer with the following addition:
.dropdown-menu li {
position: relative;
}
I also add an icon "icon-chevron-right" on items which contain menu sub-menus, and change the icon from black to white on hover (to compliment the text changing to white and look better with the selected blue background).
Here is the full less/css change (replace the above with this):
.dropdown-menu li {
position: relative;
[class^="icon-"] {
float: right;
}
&:hover {
// Switch to white icons on hover
[class^="icon-"] {
background-image: url("../img/glyphicons-halflings-white.png");
}
}
}
Since Bootstrap 3 removed the submenu part and we need to adapt ourselves the style, I think it's better to go with SmartMenu Bootstrap: https://vadikom.github.io/smartmenus/src/demo/bootstrap-navbar.html#
That would save us time on mobile responsive and style.
This plugin also very promising.
I just added class="span2" to the <li> for the dropdown items and that worked.
This example is from http://bootsnipp.com/snippets/featured/multi-level-dropdown-menu-bs3
Works for me in Bootstrap v3.1.1.
<div class="container">
<div class="row">

[Twitter Bootstrap v3]
To create a n-level dropdown menu (touch device friendly) in Twitter Bootstrap v3,
CSS:
.dropdown-menu>li /* To prevent selection of text */
{ position:relative;
-webkit-user-select: none; /* Chrome/Safari */
-moz-user-select: none; /* Firefox */
-ms-user-select: none; /* IE10+ */
/* Rules below not implemented in browsers yet */
-o-user-select: none;
user-select: none;
cursor:pointer;
}
.dropdown-menu .sub-menu
{
left: 100%;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
display:none;
margin-top: -1px;
border-top-left-radius:0;
border-bottom-left-radius:0;
border-left-color:#fff;
box-shadow:none;
}
.right-caret:after,.left-caret:after
{ content:"";
border-bottom: 5px solid transparent;
border-top: 5px solid transparent;
display: inline-block;
height: 0;
vertical-align: middle;
width: 0;
margin-left:5px;
}
.right-caret:after
{ border-left: 5px solid #ffaf46;
}
.left-caret:after
{ border-right: 5px solid #ffaf46;
}
JQuery:
$(function(){
$(".dropdown-menu > li > a.trigger").on("click",function(e){
var current=$(this).next();
var grandparent=$(this).parent().parent();
if($(this).hasClass('left-caret')||$(this).hasClass('right-caret'))
$(this).toggleClass('right-caret left-caret');
grandparent.find('.left-caret').not(this).toggleClass('right-caret left-caret');
grandparent.find(".sub-menu:visible").not(current).hide();
current.toggle();
e.stopPropagation();
});
$(".dropdown-menu > li > a:not(.trigger)").on("click",function(){
var root=$(this).closest('.dropdown');
root.find('.left-caret').toggleClass('right-caret left-caret');
root.find('.sub-menu:visible').hide();
});
});
HTML:
<div class="dropdown" style="position:relative">
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">Click Here <span class="caret"></span></a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li>
<a class="trigger right-caret">Level 1</a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu sub-menu">
<li><a href="#">Level 2</a></li>
<li>
<a class="trigger right-caret">Level 2</a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu sub-menu">
<li><a href="#">Level 3</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Level 3</a></li>
<li>
<a class="trigger right-caret">Level 3</a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu sub-menu">
<li><a href="#">Level 4</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Level 4</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Level 4</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Level 2</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Level 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Level 1</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
