A multi-column Layout / Storyview

Hi @TiddlyTweeter ,

you would like to switch off all vertical scrollers or all horizontal scrollers, too?

Ideally both horizontal & vertical individually—if it’s not too much hassle.

Use cases for what I’m looking at could use either or both. (I will give some examples once I better studied the beta.)

Saluti, TT

I haven’t had time to practically look yet at the variant browser behaviours but I’m guessing that is absolutely right. TBH it is likely not a crippling problem?? I did notice you use CSS well to achieve the aims of the plugin; much to our good.

FWIW I don’t really fully understand the “snap thing” myself yet well enough to know if that is a CSS factor in the issue?

Just a comment, TT

Hi @TiddlyTweeter ,

Now there’s an option to hide all scrollbars (scrolling is still possible)
You can also disable box-shadows on tiddlers and set the tiddler-margin-bottom to 0 and the story-river padding to 0 so you get a seamless view

Hi all tiddlywikians :slight_smile:

The plugin is now version 0.14.0

I’ve updated the palettes CupertinoDark, DesertSand, GruvboxDark, Nord and Vanilla to work well with the plugin and fixed some smaller issues

Hope you like it!

Best wishes,
Simon

Hi dear TiddlyWikians,

The plugin is now version 0.18.0

I’ve updated the sidebar to show ONLY the system SideBarSegments (site-title, site-subtitle, search, page-controls and tabs)

All other tiddlers with the tag $:/tags/SideBarSegment are shown in a sidebar panel at the opposite side

There’s also the option to add the tag $:/tags/SideBarSegment/User to a system tiddler with the tag $:/tags/SideBarSegment so that it will be also shown in the user-sidebar-panel

Conclusion: Now we have two sidebars (optionally)

I’ve done this because the main sidebar can become messy with too many additional SideBarSegments. Also, I’ve positioned the various SideBarSegments absolutely so that I’m able to control the overflow of the sidebar tabs (see how they overflow when you open the “More” tab and go to “System” for example)

P.S. the second sidebar will only show up if there are additional tiddlers tagged $:/tags/SideBarSegment or tiddlers tagged $:/tags/SideBarSegment/User

Best wishes,
Simon

@BurningTreeC I have started looking at the latest version, I like the idea of the panorama button but it is not contained within the hamburger menu?, I think something is broken.

Thanks @TW_Tones , I didn’t add it because the icon was too large, but now I found a solution and it’s added.

Ciao Simon

I wanted to quickly note that is a great innovation! It will be extremely useful to me.

Basically in “making” a wiki I like the full-blast of the feature rich right sidebar. But that it is not for “published” wiki which basically only need a simple TOC and “normal” Tiddler search.

Having ability to see on left a sidebar dedicated to what an end-user would get seriously helps simplify wiki development for me.

Just an appreciation, TT

Hi @TiddlyTweeter ,

Does that mean that you’d like the option to completely hide the right sidebar?

Thanks,
Simon

TEST #3 – Towards a web design matrix …

I been looking at things you can do with BTC’s MultiColumn Layout — a non-linear personal web notebook to easily enforce a design matrix.

I thought this proof-of-concept, though early, kinda gives a clue to what I’m getting at …

It uses the standard TW Tiddler class field to narrow Tiddlers 4 & 6. It is easy.

Just a side note, TT

Ciao Simon,

Wow! Thanks for the interest!

To be able to easily hide the right sidebar would be ace!

Footnote: FYI, for my use case I’d also benefit knowing which config field the setting goes in. Why? Because my plan is to use auto-detection on startup to activate hiding. I.e. The wiki is on the web, not local, and StartupActions apply the change.

Result: off-line the author has all making tools, on-line the end-user sees only what is relevant to their purposes.

Buongiorno, TT

Buongiorno @TiddlyTweeter ,

Yes we can do that

Very nice idea. I’ll add links to the configuration options in the ControlPanel which point to the corresponding config tiddler

Hi @TiddlyTweeter ,

now the configuration panel contains links to the various config tiddlers
the system-panel can also be disabled (button disappears and shortcut doesn’t work anymore)

Grazie mille! I feel special. You responded so positively to more than a few comments from me. I am very appreciative of all that work.

Regarding the change … for folk working between off-line making and on-line publishing these changes make it a bunch easier!

I feel a thanks song coming on …

Result: Works WELL.

Viewport image …

Just a pointer this tool is great for right if you need it.

(@JanJo, will it do your need?)

RIGHT?

Just a test, TT

It is beautiful, but I need a more simple thing: The storyriver in horizontal. Storing and organizing so many storylists would be an overkill for a slideshow.
But I will certainly use the multicolumn-view for organizing stories.

On behalf of this I can also contribute a little goodie:
I made a layout-button which allows switching layouts like the Theme-Button…and which is astonishingly still missing. It also works for multicollumn … though it is not displayed in the sidebar-menu yet.
LayoutButton.json (1.6 KB)

developped for my version of the horizontal Krystal-plugin which other than the original allows to switch between vertical default TW-Layout and horizontal view

I note you noticed some residual minor browser issues …

It is good to know that.
These few issues are not yours.
Merely “browser catch-up” problems.

Side comment, TT

Hi @TiddlyTweeter , I was actually able to solve those problems :star_struck:

But new observations will go into this tiddler if there are
