Accesibility error Megamenu T3 Framework Joomla 4

sylwekb

Hallo

I add focus to navigation using the tab key on the keyboard and then enter and it works for me. Where can I add the tag below to enable the menu to expand?
This functionality probably wasn't added to templates in the megamenu, and it is apparently very important now.

In which template and megamenu file should I add this?

Menu items that have a dropdown should include an aria-haspopup="true" attribute.

Will it work if I add in the T3 template file in this location? Do I need to add somewhere else in the template file? This is very important now to have accessibility? I have T3 Framework version 3.2.3 and Joomla 4.4.13, WT_News Theme

plugins/system/t3/includes/menu/megamenu.tpl.php

$vars['aria'] = 'aria-haspopup="true"';

and more line $aria

Do you have an update for this to megamenu dropdown enable accessibility and keyboard navigation features? This is very much needed at the moment.

sylwekb Hello,

The T3 framework is now considered outdated, and there have not been any templates and updates developed for it. Consequently, we have shifted our focus to the T4 framework for the foreseeable future.

Hello
Is it possible to update templates from T3 framework to T4? As I wrote, the current WT NEWS template from T3 works on both Joomla 4 and should work on Joomla 5.

sylwekb Hi

T3 and T4 are completely separate frameworks — T4 is not an upgrade of T3.

If you’d like to use this template with the T4 framework, it would require the same process as implementing a new template from scratch.

The accessibility error in the Megamenu of the T3 Framework on Joomla 4 is concerning. It may cause navigation difficulties for users relying on screen readers or keyboard-only access. Addressing issues like improper ARIA roles, missing focus indicators, or poor keyboard support is essential. Ensuring compliance with WCAG standards will improve usability for all users and make the website more inclusive and user-friendly across different devices and assistive technologies.
