What to use for a site header, $:/tags/PageTemplate or $:/tags/AboveStory ?

[Danielo Rodríguez]

Hello

I can remember that in the good old days we usually use $:/tags/PageTemplate to position a tiddler out of the story river. It would need position fixed aditionally. Recently I saw that $:/tags/AboveStory is used for site headers. The problem with this setup is that I can not get rid of the top margin,padding or whatever it is. This only happens on thin windows. On normal ones I can use a css with top: -20 but that does not work when

the breakpoint is reached, even if the sidebar is hidden.

I would be grateful by any advice.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Danielo

I think you're running into the problem that the Vanilla base theme gives both padding and a minimum height to the .tc-sidebar-header div.

Presumably you can workaround it in this case by using list-after to move your tiddler to the top?

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Hello Jeremy,

Yes, that was exactly the problem. I fixed it just giving display none to the sidebar. Since it is exactly what I wanted for my purposes I think your solution is much better for all the most common cases.

Do you think that the default behavior should be to not display the sidebar at all when it's hidden? I mean display none.

And what about the other question? Which idea is better for a header? Page template tag or the above story one?

Hello Jeremy,

Sorry for asking again but,what is the equivalent for a footer?

Possibly so, yes. But of course there's a backwards compatibility issue.

It depends what you want to achieve :)

Basically, $:/tags/PageTemplate is the best option unless you're trying to do something that needs to resize to track the size of the story river.

There's $:/tags/BelowStory to force things underneath the content of the story river.

To control the ordering of $:/tags/PageTemplate tiddlers you can use the usual list-before/list-after.

Best wishes

Jeremy.
