Carry on scrolling if necessary

  • Hi Max,

    Thanks again for this plugin. I have one issue: I need to be able to keep scrolling when the combined height of the fixed widgets is greater than the viewport (screen).

    i.e. Presently, the widgets move intelligently at the *top*. That is, they don’t fix until you move down to where they are on the page. However, I need them to also move intelligently at the *bottom* – that is, that if the bottom of a fixed widget goes below the screen, then when you scroll further down the page (the page is big, in my case), the widget also scrolls so that you can see the bottom of the screen.

    Does that make sense? I can set you up a demo if you need one.

    Best wishes,
    David

    Hi Max,

    I’ve now looked at this more carefully. I can see that what happens is that the widgets eventually scroll when you get to the bottom of the page (not before).

    In my case, the page is very (very) long. So the user has to scroll a very long time in order to see the bottom of the widget.

    I think it’d work much better if (when the widgets are bigger than the viewport) the widgets scrolled as the page scrolled – i.e. if you scroll down, then the part of the fixed widgets being shown scrolls down too, and if you scroll up, then likewise. Could that work? I think it’d be better than the current solution (where you can only scroll the widgets by scrolling to the absolute top/bottom).

    Hi!

    The idea is good, but hard to implement.
    You know I am very conservative on adding new features, because current script already counsuming a lot of resources… )
    “widgets are bigger than the viewport” – that situation is not good, because there is always a possibility that not all widgets will be viewable… even if we made scroll logic as you described.
