allowParentLinks: creates a double-link for parent links

See original GitHub issue

I am not sure why this happens, but my (clickable) parent links are parsed as an a-element inside an a-element. The sub-links (without further child-links) are parsed correctly with just one a-element. . The final code (with active JS) looks like this:

<ul id="menu" class="slicknav_nav" style="display: block;" aria-hidden="false" role="menu">
<li class="submenu hnav-wichtig sibling first slicknav_collapsed slicknav_parent">
<a class="slicknav_item" tabindex="0" aria-haspopup="true" role="menuitem" href="#" style="outline: medium none;">
<a class="submenu sibling first" href="foo.html">Foo</a>
<span class="slicknav_arrow">►</span>
</a>
<ul class="level_2 slicknav_hidden" role="menu" style="display: none;" aria-hidden="true">
...

I’ve got this setup:

  $(function(){
    $('#menu').slicknav({
      label: 'Navigation',
      duplicate: false,
      duration: 1000,
      easingOpen: "swing",
      closeOnClick: false,
      allowParentLinks: true,
      prependTo: '#mobile-anchor'
    });  
  });
</script>```

I took some time and attempted to implement what you suggested. If you now set the “nestedParentLinks” option to false while “allowParentLinks” is true, it puts the drop down link only on the arrow. This is my initial attempt, so there may be some bugs, but please feel free to give it a shot and give me any feedback. I also had to change the default CSS, so make sure you grab that update as well.

love you slicknav, been using it on some wp sites for years. many of my customers -> customers complain about the fact they can’t find submenus/pages, even though we’re using a quite large “+” button as slicknav arrow.

i agree: the best solution would be 1st click on parent link -> submenu open. 2nd click on parent link -> go to page.

just deactivating links on parents is no solution, as the links become not visitable anymore.
