Hi,

Follow this:

1. Go to Online Store->Theme->Edit code
2. Asset->theme.scss->paste bellow code in bottom of file

#SiteNavLabel-solvents { width: auto; }
#SiteNavLabel-solvents ul { column-count: 2; }
#SiteNavLabel-solvents ul li {-webkit-column-break-inside: avoid;page-break-inside: avoid;    break-inside: avoid; }

Note: I have given this css base on current theme.

Hi @giftsatbliss 

Follow this:

1. Go to Online Store->Theme->Edit code
2. Asset->theme.scss->paste bellow code in bottom of file

.site-nav > li:nth-child(6) .site-nav__dropdown{    column-count: 3;}

Note: This css give base on just console so if you ad and menu then change nth-child(6) value.

Hi,

This is Joycy from House of Jay and We are using Grid Theme (Pixel Union), can you please advise on how we can edit the code to split it into columns as we keep adding more brands and he dropdown is already very long. Our website www.houseofjay.com. Thank you. 

[Jasoliya]

Want to set two column on all drop down or for just "Brands" menu? 

[houseofjay]

Just the Brand.

[Jasoliya]

Add this css in Asset->theme.scss file at bottom:

@media only screen and (min-width: 767px) {
      .navigation-menu .has-dropdown:nth-child(7) .navigation-submenu {
             column-count: 2;
        }
    }

Note: i have give solution just by console so if you add any menu before "Brands" then change 7 to its sequence number.

[houseofjay]

Thank you so much. It's really a big help..

Please use below code to split your long column into small ones:

$("#SiteNav li ul").each(function(){
var len = jQuery(this).find('li').length;
if(len > 9){

$.fn.extend(
{
list2Columns: function(numCols)
{
var listItems = $(this).find('li'); /* get the list data */
var listHeader = $(this);
var numListItems = listItems.length;
var numItemsPerCol = Math.ceil(numListItems / numCols); /* divide by the number of columns requires */
var currentColNum = 1, currentItemNumber = 1, returnHtml = '', i = 0;
var classname = $(this).parent().attr('id');

/* append the columns */
for (i=1;i<=numCols;i++)
{
$(this).parent().append('<ul class="column list-column-' +classname+ i + '"></ul>');
}

/* append the items to the columns */
$.each(listItems, function (i, v)
{
if (currentItemNumber <= numItemsPerCol){
currentItemNumber ++;
}
else
{
currentItemNumber = 1;
currentColNum ++;
}
$('.list-column-'+classname+currentColNum).append(v);
});
$(this).parent().addClass('expended-div');
$(this).remove(); /*clean previous content */

}
});

$(this).list2Columns(3);

}
});

Hi Jasoliya

Thanks for your magic Now I have the multi-colmun  🙂
Kind regards,

Roni

[oztech-buddy]

Hi Jasoliya

My first long menu converted into a multi-colmon dropdown menu. But other long menus still long.

Shouldn't that code going to convert all long menus of the whole site?

Apple > Case. This is working fine.

Apple >  W&F Case. Its still a long menu

Any idea why its happening?

Kind regards,

Roni

[Jasoliya]

If you add code for conman then it will convert all menu to 2 column even 3 link in menu. for that we have to add one by one css for all long menu 

[oztech-buddy]

You saved me once again. Thanks for explaining. I converted all of my long menus into 2-colmun menus.
