Multiple sidemenus open at the same time

Webix JS

Hi.

When trying to implement sidemenus into my project, I’ve found that I am unable to have multiple sidebars open at the same time. Not only does opening a second sidemenu close the first, but the second one will also disappear once the animation ends.

In my project, users can subdivide views as they please and set specific components to these subviews. I’m trying to add sidemenus to one of these components, hence the need to have multiple open at the same time

Hi,

Not only does opening a second sidemenu close the first, but the second one will also disappear once the animation ends…

We will include the fix for this bug into the next version. Thank you for information.

hence the need to have multiple open at the same time

Sidemenu is Popup-based and closes on click outside the view. So, there is not possibility to keep two sidemenus open.

You may consider Sidebar as the alternative solution.

We’ve reviewed our requirements and having only one open at a time is acceptable. We’d rather use a sidemenu instead of a sidebar because of it supporting more components (textfields, richselects, etc) and being overlaid on top of the parent, which is a behaviour we want.

Is there any ETA for the next version?

We are going to release the next version on February. A minor update will be ready on January.

It seems like the above problem still occurs. Any update on this?

Hello,

Yep, I can confirm that the issue still persists. Thank you for reminding.

Please note that multiple popups are not supposed to be opened at a time, so we will try to provide a fix only for “the second one also disappearing once the animation ends.”
