I recently created a custom sidebar directive, and although it is loading correctly in the designated area, I am encountering issues with the dropdown functionality of certain tags. The desired behavior is for these tags to display their inner elements when clicked, which works fine when the code is directly pasted, but not when the directive is called within another HTML file. To illustrate the difference, I have attached two screenshots showcasing the discrepancy between using a class="page-sidebar" inside the file containing the directive's HTML code and using it on the main HTML file:
It is evident that certain properties on the highlighted lines are not being applied in the first screenshot.
Seeking assistance as I require this as a "partial" view to be utilized across multiple pages.
EDIT: Directive code:
app.directive('sidebar', function () {
return {
restrict: 'E',
templateUrl: "/app/views/sidebar.html"
};
});
EDIT2:
Just to clarify, < sidebar > is a directive I created, while class="page-sidebar" is part of the template I am using to format everything correctly. I attempted to include class="page-sidebar" within the directive to test its functionality, but they serve different purposes.
EDIT3:
To alleviate any confusion, both images demonstrate that the sidebar is functional. The issue does not lie with the element itself, as I am utilizing < sidebar > and it is functioning properly. The concern arises when attempting to interact with the contents, such as Dropdowns (as depicted in the second image), which do not respond to clicks when integrated within sidebar.html, yet function as expected when directly inserted into index.html.
EDIT4:
After some investigation, I have pinpointed the issue, although a solution remains elusive. I made some modifications and now the problem seems to be with the widgets rather than the sidebar. The sidebar is consistently loaded, but it's the page content that varies based on the URL. This adjustment allowed me to identify the root of the problem:
$(".owl-carousel").owlCarousel({mouseDrag: false, touchDrag: true, slideSpeed: 300, paginationSpeed: 400, singleItem: true, navigation: false,autoPlay: true});
The above code is located within a plugins.js file included in the HTML. Strangely, this line fails to execute when the page loads. However, when I manually trigger it in the Chrome console, the expected widget appears.
It seems that the JavaScript contents are not executing upon page load for reasons unknown.
