    Hi Enfold team,

    I’m looking for a way to draw attention to my normal links in my texts. For example like this: https://codemyui.com/hand-drawn-underline-effect-for-links/

    I was looking for a plugin, but could not find it. Do you guys know a plugin which can do this?

    Thanks a lot!

    no plugin – but you see that on the codepen a hint how you can achieve that.
    Guess the inline svg will be nicer / sharper but the gif solution is much easier to understand.

    Thanks for your fast reply Guenni007. I was looking for the easiest way ;-)

    But I will give it a try.

    Is this maybe an idea for Enfold to add to the theme? Would be kind of revolutionary, right? I understand this way of showing your links is one of the things to get the users attention.

    Thanks again!

    The individual styles are so manifold that something like this will always have to be created as an individual solution.
    svgs and animated svgs are relatively powerful tools – and best if they are used as inline svgs. https://pureinstall.webers-testseite.de/signieren/

    On Enfold Options: Header > Header Style choose: minimal…
    i have changed the way of your example page a little bit, because i don’t think it makes sense to paint over the stroke with another ( 2nd child) either.
    You can see it here how I implemented it in Enfold. : https://webers-web.info
    Basic idea is that there is an omnipresent svg on the page, and this is used for the menu underscore.
    To have the svg always available on all pages:
    ( to child-theme functions.php ):

    add_action('ava_after_body_opening_tag', function() {
      echo '<svg id="stroke" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="0" height="0"><defs><path id="line" d="M2 2c49.7 2.6 100 3.1 150 1.7-46.5 2-93 4.4-139.2 7.3 45.2-1.5 90.6-1.8 135.8-.6" fill="none" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" vector-effect="non-scaling-stroke"/></defs></svg>';
    });

    and like on the codepen page also in the menu item now set a svg which uses the path of the omnipresent svg:
    ( under the code above in child-theme functions.php ):

    function insert_svg_to_main_navigation() { 
    ?>
    <script>
    (function($){
    	$('#avia-menu li.menu-item-top-level a' ).prepend('<svg class="button-stroke" viewBox="0 0 154 13"><use href="#line"></use></svg>');
    })(jQuery);
    </script>
    <?php
    }
    add_action('wp_footer', 'insert_svg_to_main_navigation');

    the rest is quick css:

    body > #stroke,
    #av-burger-menu-ul svg.button-stroke {
    	display: none;
    }
    
    .button-stroke {
    	display: block;
    	width: calc(100% - 10px);
    	height: 20px;
    	position: absolute;
    	left: 5px;
    	top: calc(50% + 15px);
    	stroke-width: 2;
    	stroke-dasharray: 650;
    	stroke-dashoffset: 650;
    }
    
    #avia-menu li.current-menu-item > a .button-stroke {
    	stroke-dashoffset: 0;
    	stroke: #9b0000;  /*** it is up to you if and what color the active state of the menu-item is set here ***/
    }
    
    #avia-menu li.menu-item-top-level a:hover .button-stroke {
    	stroke: #07a;  /*** the hover color of the stroke ***/
    	-webkit-animation-duration: 2s;
    	animation-duration: 2s;
    	-webkit-animation-fill-mode: forwards;
    	animation-fill-mode: forwards;
    	-webkit-animation-timing-function: linear;
    	animation-timing-function: linear;
    	-webkit-animation-name: draw;
    	animation-name: draw;
    }
    
    @-webkit-keyframes draw {
    	100% {
    	  stroke-dashoffset: 0;
    	}
    }
    
    @keyframes draw {
    	100% {
    	  stroke-dashoffset: 0;
    	}
    }

    you see some parameters you can play with – f.e. stroke width or colors

    ___________

    with this way you should now be able to – animate your own paths as well.
    You need the path

    that part in the first code above
    <path id=”line” d=”M2 2c49.7 2.6 100 3.1 150 1.7-46.5 2-93 4.4-139.2 7.3 45.2-1.5 90.6-1.8 135.8-.6″ fill=”none” stroke-linecap=”round” stroke-linejoin=”round” vector-effect=”non-scaling-stroke”/>

    you can create it f.e. in Illustrator, and the path length for the stroke-dasharray and stroke-dashoffset. By the way, you can determine the path length in Illustrator by selecting the path, then in the menu item Window – Document information – and then in the “hamburger” select objects. ( you need the value in px not in mm )

    Wow thanks Guenni007, that is very helpful. One question though, I was actually planning to add the links to my normal body texts. Is it then necessary to add some code to the functions.php?

    Yes the selector to insert the svg with the use instruction had to be changed.
    – but it might be best to see the real site for better advice – if you do not like to make it public – send me an e-mail with link.
