How to set option after initialization

[fhickler]

How would I set an option after the menu has been initialized? I am using the bootstrap add-on, in case that is relevant.

But let’s say I initialize the menu and there is a button on the page that, when clicked, I want it to change an option (say set subIndicators to false). What would be the javascript that the button would trigger?

Changing some options at runtime (like “subIndicators”) will not have any effect since they are only used at init so these options need to be passed on the init call. But, of course, it’s not a problem to change others (e.g. “showTimeout”, “showOnClick”, etc.) and you can do it like this:

$('#main-menu').data('smartmenus').opts.optionName = newValue;

So if you have the #my-button button, you can do it onclick with the following code:

$('#my-button').click(function() {
	$('#main-menu').data('smartmenus').opts.optionName = newValue;
	return false;
});
