The magic of MPTW

[Poul]

Hi guys,

I could use a bit of help with this one: As you may know, I adapted Simon Baird's excellent work at http://mptw.tiddlyspot.com/

as an optional alternative page template in giewiki. Recently I used it for a sample application of the custom tiddler templates facility, that I've added in giewiki 1.16.

Specifically, I have a ViewTemplate (derivative) that starts like this:

<div><span macro='view topic'></span><span class='toolbar' macro='toolbar [[ToolbarCommands::ViewToolbar]]'></span></div>

in stead of the classic

<div class='toolbar' macro='toolbar [[ToolbarCommands::ViewToolbar]]'></div>

If I use the MPTW page template, I get the result I'm hoping for, ie. a left-aligned span showing the value of the 'topic' field and the usual right-aligned toolbar, like this:

http://giewiki.appspot.com/SandBox/CustomTiddlerTemplates#%5B%5BBerlusconi%20is%20out%5D%5D

If I do not use it, I don't get quite what I want (the toolbar isn't right-aligned):

What exactly is it that Simon did to make it work (and why doesn't it work otherwise)?

Thanks,

Poul

NB: In both cases, it isn't actually ViewTemplate that's used for view template, but rather newsViewTemplate.

I'm not sure where it would need to be inserted in your specific use case, but this line in the Stylesheet seems to be the important one:

.toolbar { float:right; }

You're absolutely right, thanks. twcomp.html, line 348:

.toolbar {text-align:right; font-size:.9em; float:right }
