Touching top nav menu button triggers home page load

[Forrest]

Just upgraded to 4.2.0 and discovered this when testing. Went back to previous version (4.1.9) and discovered the same issue. I missed it when testing before.

Problem: On a Samsung S 3, clicking the main menu (top right) icon to show the menu drop down ALSO triggers a Home Page load unless you press very far down on lower right corner of icon. This effectively renders the menu useless.

I can not duplicate on a desktop and have no other mobile devices to test it.

The fix is to change js/buddyboss.js (lime 342) from:

Panels.$right_icon.on( ‘fastclick click’, { target: ‘icon’, side: ‘right’ }, Panels.on_click );

to

Panels.$right_icon.on( ‘click’, { target: ‘icon’, side: ‘right’ }, Panels.on_click );

Removing the “fastclick”

I do not know if this is the BEST fix, but making that change totally solves the problem.

Hopefully this helps someone.

@tekboss thanks for sharing this fix. I’ll submit this to our developers to consider a fix.

@tekboss can you also check if there is a plugin conflict for me?

[Forrest]

Sorry for the delay.

Confirmed. There is NO Plugin conflict.

With all plugins removed (plugin folder deleted) and the change reversed, the issue remains.

I did not research what “fastclick” does, but I believe there is some sort of overlap issue with the site-name being clickable to the home page.

Good luck.

@tekboss FastClick is a simple, easy-to-use library for eliminating the 300ms delay between a physical tap and the firing of a click event on mobile browsers. The aim is to make your application feel less laggy and more responsive while avoiding any interference with your current logic. Perhaps iOS or safari made an update that breaks fastclick or we have not updated to the last fastclick library since the last ios/safari update.

@tekboss this issue should be resolved with the latest release. Please let me know if you have any further issues.
