Hi, I've been trying to get FramedLinks plugin working with
TiddlersBar plugin. The probem is that when FramedLinks opens an
iframe TiddlersBar jumps to the top of the screen/page. I guess it
thinks it's a new tiddler that's been opened. Is there any way around
this?

Show us a 'Minimal Test Case'...

I, for one, can't even guess what this looks like for you.

I made a modification to TiddlersBarPlugin last year to stop the
jumping to the top when popups were opened.I use it in all of my
Treeview TWs. Here's and example.

Perhaps it will work for your situation. Please let us know the
results.

Hi again

Now I see... it's not Tiddlersbar that jumps ...its the whole
display ...sometimes it takes a while. I know that one and I sureley
am glad to see you have a fix Morris. That's great!

Tobias.

Hi Morris,

I compared your code to mine and other than my own changes I can't see
any difference... and thus still get the jumping to top of popups. Are
you sure you sent the right link?

Well, I just removed

ensureVisible=function (e) {return 0} //disable bottom scrolling (not
useful now)

...from TiddlersBatPlugin.

And now, there is no more jumping to top.
Instead, there is 'ensuring of visibility'.
Dunno if removing that line broke anything.
So far it doesn't seem to have.

You're right it isn't the modification I intended, it still jumps to
the top with popups, now I can't find it.

I remember deleting the line you did caused some side effect. That's
why I tried to merge the OpenTopPlugin code into it. I seem to
remember that it had side effects as well (or I didn't do it
properly).

That suggests that not opening at the top when the tabs are disabled
was the side effect. I must have removed that and put the original
code back that you just cut out again:-) I can see the tracks of my
work because the comments on the code you cut out is different between
my different TWs. At that point I must have been distracted by some
shiny object and forgot about it until now:-)

It's worth doing a permanent fix if you can.

Ok Morris,

...let's see if we can get into the fixing business.

However, I am not sure, what actually needs fixing. What is the exact
issue with TiddlersBar that it needs special treatment as to core
functions?

I understand that tiddlers won't open correctly if someone disables
TiddlersBar ...as I have removed that line.

Personally, I do not consider this too much of a problem as I'll never
use it's disabling functionality, but rather set a temporary
systemConfigDisable on it. As for tbGTD, permanently disabling it
would be a completely different GUI-approach ...and - right now - I am
not so much inclined to even consider that... may others do so ;-)

For anyone thinking of using OpenTopPlugin with TiddlersBarPlugin...
don't! Or know that you get a weird switching behaviour of tabs due to
it...
