Hi,

I'm a beginner, since I've been using TW for quite a while, whithout customization.

I have seen some TW sites with nice left menus...

thanks

This may be a bit intimidating at first but this guide is one of the better ones:

The author, Ton Gerner, has guides for a good assortment of modifications. His general site is:

I believe the OP is really asking for that classic MainMenu to the left of the story river.
And I'd also be interested in a perhaps painless way to get one, if desired.

Best wishes, Tobias.

Hi, it seems to be good, I'll try to do it.

And you're right Tobias I just need a simple menu on the left, always displayed and with no tabs.

Hi Nicolas,

I tried that some time ago. I just updated it and cleaned out most of my danish goobledegok. http://bc.classic.tiddlyspot.com/

I thought you might have wanted to say that
but then I still don't know what it is. ^^

Best wishes, Tobias.

I just closed that one tiddler and the page is pretty empty.
Also, you don't seem to have any menu when the page-width is less than X.

Best wishes, Tobias.

Hi Tobias,
If you  have one tiddler open in zoomin view and you close that tiddler, is it not normal then?

Sure, but on that site there is no other clickable link except for that basket or whatever it is in the bottm right, so it's really awkward to be looking at a blank page.

For TWc there was some plugin I used at some point, or made, which always opened some single home / start tiddler when the last one was closed, so that this wouldn't happen... as it's really awkward for anything aspiring to be a website... to look at an entirely blank canvas.

Best wishes, Tobias.

Ok, I've found the plugin, but it was a buggy one I never got to fix...


So, I just created a simplistic version of it that only opens the default tiddlers when all others are closed...


...which is now included in these two...


Best wishes, Tobias.

// Close a specified tiddler
NavigatorWidget.prototype.handleCloseTiddlerEvent = function(event) {
        var title = event.param || event.tiddlerTitle,
                storyList = this.getStoryList();
        // Look for tiddlers with this title to close
if      (document.querySelectorAll('[class="tc-title"]').length==1) { } else {

this.removeTitleFromStory(storyList,title);
        this.saveStoryList(storyList);

}
        return false;
};

Nice. ^^

On the other hand, I really don't think you need a close button at all.

Best wishes, Tobias.

Nice. ^^

Just made a pull request based on the idea... 

allows to define behaviour when last tiddler in story is closed

demo

Best wishes, Tobias.
