XF 2.3 Avoid a specific menu to close

[Newsman]

Hey there!

Let's say I have a menu somewhere. And as you know, if you click on another element that isn't the menu, the menu will be closed.

Is there a way to avoid this? I found the data-menu-closer attribute but don't know if that is related to my problem..

(just to elaborate a bit: I want to click on a different element without a specific open menu closing)

Cheers!

Edit: thinking more about it.. it would be cool to mark certain elements as "non-menu-closing" elements when they are being clicked on..

I've found the solution!

When necessary, I used XF.MenuWatcher.preventDocClick() to disable the closure of menus - and then use XF.MenuWatcher.allowDocClick() to enable the function again. This allows you to click on elements that are not part of the menu and placed outside of them
