<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>We have been using this module for some time now and it our our clear favourite among a plethora of 'floating / better' Admin TAB modules out there because it 'just works'.</p>
<p>However, there is one thing that drives us a bit mad...</p>
<p>When you dig into the underlying markup, <em>some </em>of the menu items' <li> tags have classes applied which we can use as selectors such as the core view/edit/delete/revisions items below ...</p>
<pre><ul class="sticky-local-tasks__list primary nav nav-tabs"><br><li class="nav-item--view nav-item"><br> <a href="/optional-challenges/kew-gardens" class="nav-link active"><br> <span>View</span><br> <i class="nav-link__icon"></i><br> </a><br></li><br><br><li class="nav-item--edit nav-item"><br> <a href="/node/8689/edit" class="nav-link"><br> <span>Edit</span><br> <i class="nav-link__icon"></i><br> </a><br></li><br><br><li class="nav-item--delete nav-item"><br> <a href="/node/8689/delete" class="nav-link"><br> <span>Delete</span><br> <i class="nav-link__icon"></i><br> </a><br></li><br><br><li class="nav-item--revisions nav-item"><br> <a href="/node/8689/revisions" class="nav-link"><br> <span>Revisions</span><br> <i class="nav-link__icon"></i><br> </a><br></li><br><br><li class="nav-item"><br> <a href="/node/8689/usage" class="nav-link"><br> <span>Usage</span><br> <i class="nav-link__icon"></i><br> </a><br></li><br></ul></pre><p>But others, such as these proved by 3rd-party modules do not...</p>
<p>The 'Entity Copy with Reference' module...</p>
<pre><li class="nav-item"><br> <a href="/node/8689/copy" class="nav-link"><br> <span>Copy</span><br> <i class="nav-link__icon"></i><br> </a><br></li></pre><p>The 'Entity Usage' module...</p>
<pre><li class="nav-item"><br> <a href="/node/8689/usage" class="nav-link"><br> <span>Usage</span><br> <i class="nav-link__icon"></i><br> </a><br></li></pre><p>The lack of classes means that we have had to resort to using <code>li:nth-child(n) > a > i</code> selectors in order to theme them up and that gets crazy and unpredictable because the <code>n</code> in the equation changes according what pages/node types you hit and so we have ended up with some rather hacky (but working) styling like this...</p>
<pre>/***************************<br> * Sticky Local Tasks START *<br> ***************************/<br>.sticky-local-tasks__wrapper {<br> .sticky-local-tasks__list {<br> li.nav-item--view > a > i {<br> background-image: url(../css/assets/view.svg);<br> }<br> li.nav-item--edit > a > i {<br> background-image: url(../css/assets/edit.svg);<br> }<br> li:nth-child(3) > a > i {<br> background-image: url(../css/assets/publish.svg);<br> }<br> li:nth-child(6) > a > i {<br> background-image: url(../css/assets/usage.svg);<br> }<br> li.nav-item--revisions > a > i {<br> display: none;<br> }<br> }<br>}<br>body.page-node-type-pick-n-mix,<br>body.page-node-type-examination-question,<br>body.page-node-type-stretch-activity,<br>body.page-node-type-theory-snippet {<br> .sticky-local-tasks__wrapper {<br> .sticky-local-tasks__list {<br> li:nth-child(4) > a > i {<br> background-image: url(../css/assets/copy.svg);<br> }<br> li:nth-child(7) > a > i {<br> background-image: url(../css/assets/usage.svg);<br> }<br> }<br> }<br>}<br>body.path-user {<br> .sticky-local-tasks__wrapper {<br> .sticky-local-tasks__list {<br> li:nth-child(3) > a > i {<br> background-image: url(../css/assets/edit.svg);<br> }<br> }<br> }<br>}<br>/**************************<br> * Sticky Local Tasks END *<br> **************************/</pre><p>We wondered if there is some hook-magic that could be done by the module to add in those extra classes if and when they are missing?</p>
