Any ideas on my "Problem with Side Menu, toggling, $ionicSideMenuDelegate" Question?

I posted this question over two days ago and haven’t seen any responses. Does anyone have any idea why I can’t programmatically toggle a Side Menu? This is hugely frustrating and is impeding progress on a commercial project.

I would be ever so grateful for any kind of insight or suggestions on how to accomplish what I’m after; my post (http://forum.ionicframework.com/t/problem-with-side-menu-toggling-ionicsidemenudelegate/13507) has complete details - with code - on this issue.

Really appreciate any help on this - Thank you!

I found the problem. Solution explained in the orginal post (http://forum.ionicframework.com/t/problem-with-side-menu-toggling-ionicsidemenudelegate/13507)
