Way to prevent closing home tiddler?

[Paul P]

Is there a way to prevent users from closing the home tiddler? For most people unfamiliar with the more obscure navigation options, this puts them into nowhere land, especially when using the read-only plugin.

For example, close enough tiddlers on tiddlywiki.com and it is easy for a non-technical user to get stuck and give up.

You can tag it $:/tags/AboveStory

Might want some additional styling.

Hi Paul.

Create a tiddler witth the title $:/config/EmptyStoryMessage in that tiddler you insert:

{{YourTiddlerTitle||$:/core/ui/ViewTemplate}}
When the story is empty, your tiddler will show.

Follow up:

There's also BelowStory which might be less intrusive.

And the following shows up only if the storyriver is empty:

Add this tiddler on tiddlywiki.com and see how it behaves:

title: whatever
tags: $:/tags/PageTemplate
text:
<$list filter="[list[$:/StoryList]count[]match[0]]">
<$transclude tiddler=HelloThere mode=block/>
</$list>

Just want to point out the great Tobi Beer who uses a different technique to have an always visible home tiddler on his page:

Tobias Beer uses $:/config/EmptyStoryMessage

It should be noted that the $:/config/EmptyStoryMessage method does allow the "home" tiddler to be closed, and only forces it to reappear if the story is completely empty.

In contrast the $:/tags/AboveStory (or $:/tags/BelowStory) method ensures that the "home" tiddler contents will *always* be displayed.

Personaly I like the empty storage message

It can even just contain a message like.

You have closed all tiddlers/screens .. Click home icon to return home.
