- Go to Layout folder and open theme.liquid. Add the code below after the header section, then click SAVE.
| {% section 'custom-sidebar' %} |
I created the code with only CSS to show how far can a CSS go. If you notice, the sidebar does not close when the mouse moves away. Hover in CSS would be so good to have but hover does not work with this set up. At least not yet, but we do not know in the future. Therefore, if you want the mouseleave function, or you want the sidebar close when the mouse leaves the sidebar, follow the instructions below.
- First, in the menu_icon, delete the (for="menu_toggle" ) in the label and add a the onclick function in the menu_icon (onclick="openNav()" )
Your code should look like this :
<input type="checkbox" class="menu_btn" id="menu_toggle" > <label class="menu_icon" onclick="openNav()"> <span class="menu" ></span> </label> |
- Find the inside_menu_icon that was already checked. Delete the (for="menu_toggle" ) and add the onclick function in the menu_icon (onclick="closeNav()" )
Your code should look like this :
<input type="checkbox" class="menu_btn" id="menu_toggle" checked> <label class="inside_menu_icon menu_icon" onclick="closeNav()"> <span class="menu inside_menu" ></span> </label> |
- Find the sideBar ID and add the (onmouseleave="closeNav()" )
Your code should look like this :
| <div class="sideBar" id="sideBar" onmouseleave="closeNav()"> |
- Almost done. Lastly, we have to add the script code. Below the style tag <style>, add the code below:
<script> function openNav() { document.getElementById("sideBar").style.width = "400px"; document.getElementById("sideBar_overlay").style.visibility = "visible"; } function closeNav() { document.getElementById("sideBar").style.width = "0"; document.getElementById("sideBar_overlay").style.visibility = "hidden"; } </script> |
There is a reason I added the onclick functions for the menu_icon inputs. If you notice, the code onmouseleave does not work well without it. It will only close the sidebar when the mouse leaves but when you click the menu again, it does not open.
I had provided several codes in the blog, check them out. And if you did use the code I have, it would be wise to sign up in the newsletter or subscribe in my youtube channel so you will be updated when I updated my blogs and youtube as well. Codes always change for the better and I keep my codes updated as much as possible.
Do not hesitate to contact me. I am open to suggestions as well on what to work for my next project.

Hi,
it’s seems your code have any failure. Can you check it? When I copy your code and I want to save, I receive an error like this:
Liquid syntax error (line 202): Unexpected character in "settings.social_twitter_link != blank or settings.social_facebook_link != blank or settings.social_pinterest_link != blank or settings.social_instagram_link != blank or settings.social_tumblr_link != blank or settings.social_snapchat_link != blank or settings.social_youtube_link != blank or settings.social_vimeo_link != blank or request.page_type == ‘article’ or request.page_type == ‘blog’ "
Can you help to fix ?
hi, do you have collection sidebar?
Please be reminded that this only works with the theme that does not have a sidebar (this include the sidebar when in mobile)
Doesnt work – multiple errors
