A Theme Component that allows you to lay out Components ("widgets1") on top and side bars
- Specify a set of "widgets" distinctly for Route and Position.
- Supports setups for each of: discovery2, topic, tag3, category3 OR categories3.
- "Bars" can be either: top, left, right OR alternative right location.
- Each bar can be collapsed or dismissed (refresh browser to reset dismiss). They can be minimised by default.
- Handles the Official Sidebar, but if you intend you use a Bars Left Sidebar, the Dropdown mode of the official Sidebar is recommended.
- It comes with existing example settings that show some big letters, partly as a demo and partly so you can see example settings. Delete these and replace with your own Component names.
- Ships with one Component:
bars-custom-html(see pre-filled example settings) - but components from many existing Theme Components & Plugins are compatible. - Mobile support is not yet implemented.
Footnotes
-
Discourse "widgets" have been deprecated, so this TC only supports Components (in any case Glimmer Components are fast and much more pleasant to develop) ↩
-
the term 'discovery' (route) refers to the main Topic List pages (e.g. "Latest", "New") that allow you to browse available Topics before clicking and diving into a specific one. ↩
-
technically also a "discovery" route but we're breaking these out to distinct names so you can treat them differently if you so choose. ↩ ↩2 ↩3
