If you go to Tobias' tb5 wiki (http://tobibeer.github.io/tb5/#Welcome) you will see he has a menu of custom tiddlers at the very top. I'm wondering how to do that in a way that will work with a static export of the wiki.

I know about Ton's TopToolbar (http://tw5toolbar.tiddlyspot.com/) but that seams to make use of the controls and settings tiddlers (i.e. managing an updateable wiki).

I'm looking to use TiddlyWiki as the tool for creating static content an a menu at the top of each page similar to what I see on the tobibeer is something I would like to include.

Hi Lost

https://federatial.com is a static site with a top menu; it may have a bit more going on than you need. It is created from the wiki you can see at https://federatial.com/wiki, on GitHub at https://github.com/Federatial/website.

Best wishes

Jeremy

I had quick look.

Yes, I am looking for something like the top-menu on that site but with much less animation (stripping out is probably easier than putting it in). But, I have no idea where in that wiki to start looking to be able to borrow the core of the top menu.

I don't know how it would work as a static site, but I did make icon menus, you can see it here (http://ooktech.com/iconmenus/)

That is also sort of what I'm looking for but with way more functionality.

Unfortunately (for me), when I save it as static html, it drops the menu in the static file.

However, I'll have a look at how you did it (if it doesn't get beyond my skills) and see if I can adapt it.
