Sidebar tc-reveal breaks theme hierarchy

[Arlen Beiler]

In trying to modify the theme of the sidebar, I discovered that the reveal widget makes it impossible to reposition the sidebar elements because they do not have the appropriate classes. 

I am wondering if it would be possible to change the sidebar tiddler to allow the individual inclusions to specify a container class for the sidebar tiddler to put on the reveal widget.

Thoughts, anyone?

Hi Arlen

I am wondering if it would be possible to change the sidebar tiddler to allow the individual inclusions to specify a container class for the sidebar tiddler to put on the reveal widget.

The sidebar is generated like this:

<$list filter="[all[shadows+tiddlers]tag[$:/tags/SideBarSegment]!has[draft.of]]" variable="listItem">

<$reveal type="nomatch" state=<<config-title>> text="hide"  tag="div">

<$transclude tiddler=<<listItem>> mode="block"/>

</$reveal>

</$list>

(See $:/core/ui/PageTemplate/sidebar).

I guess we could do something like this to allow sidebar segments to have a “class” field that is used as the class for the DIV:

<$reveal type="nomatch" state=<<config-title>> text="hide" class={{{ [<listItem>get[class]] }}} tag="div">

But we’d need to consider consistency with other places where we use tags to build the UI.

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Thoughts, anyone?

There are many places where tc-reveal inside a list breaks customizing the individual items in the list. But as far as I can think, this is the only place where it matters, because most other lists are used in places where all items are styled the same.

Hi Arlen,

Sometimes there is something inside the tab you can target (examples below), or maybe you can use pseudo classes like :first or ... what exactly are you trying to achieve?

In trying to modify the theme of the sidebar, I discovered that the reveal widget makes it impossible to reposition the sidebar elements because they do not have the appropriate classes. 

It can be hard to restyle the sidebar, but it might be possible.

Cheers,

Thomas
