Sticky Header Bar in Blogger Dynamic Views

Before
After
Here's another quick one. When you start to scroll in Blogger's Dynamic View, your header bar will automatically hide itself and will only re-appear when you point to it. Here's how you can force it to stay visible all the time.

Go to Dashboard --> Template --> Customize --> Advanced --> Add CSS --> paste the following code --> Press enter after the last character of the last line } --> Apply to Blog.
#header .header-drawer.sticky{
margin-top: 0px !important;
position: fixed !important;
top: 65px !important;
-moz-transition: top 0.0s linear 0.0s !important;
-webkit-transition: top 0.0s linear 0.0s !important;
-ms-transition: top 0.0s linear 0.0s !important;
-o-transition: top 0.0s linear 0.0s !important;
}
If you've added a custom header from my 'Dynamic Views Header' tutorial, you need to adjust Line 4 from the code above to fit with the height of your header. You can find this value by tracking back the code for your custom header, and look for the last value in the code (next to the 'height' attribute).

Happy Easter everyone :)

    2. Not sure what happened but I had to remove because the menu bar was covering the topmost part of the post when I scrolled down to read. Any way to keep this in and keep the top of the post section static? Of course I could have messed something up. :)

      Thanks Yoboy!

    3. Hi Bob,

      I can't quite picture it. Do you have a screenshot of something? Just to clarify things, when this tweak on, the menu bar will always be visible.

      Delete
    4. If you look at http://xaahuyaxeed.blogspot.com/ you will see that the black bar is not always visible. When the post area is scrolled it first disappears then reappears. When it reappears it covers the text of the post area.

      If it were possible to make the post to scroll no higher than it's original placement (below the black bar) then the black bar would never be on top of the post and would not temporarily disappear. Also the background would always be visible between the black bar and the post area.

      Not sure if that makes sense. Thanks for helping!

      Delete
    5. I've added extra bits to the code above to force the menu bar to always appear with requiring a scroll. What do you think?

      Delete
    6. That seems to do it Yoboy! The post window still scrolls higher than I would like it to but the menu bar stays in place. Thanks for your help! Have a great weekend!

  3. Thanks for all your tips. I got the header in fixed position. Now, how would I go about doing the same for the sidebar? And since I already have the code in place for the header, do I just add the new codes below it with a blank line in between and add another blank line under the new codes?

    Sorry, I'm a total noob at this and will stay that way if I can help it, or rather if you can help me.

    Thanks.

    1. Hi tomcha,

      Yes you just need to leave a blank line and add additional CSS code. But I'm not quite getting your question regarding the sidebar. Are you trying to do something to your sidebar in Blogger Dynamic Sidebar Views?

      Delete
    2. Thanks for the reply. I'm new to these things so I guess I didn't express what I had in mind very well. Sorry.

      What I was hoping to be able to do was to make the sidebar "sticky" like the header so that it's always showing instead of hiding unless a mouse goes over it. Don't know if that makes sense.

      Delete
    3. I think I got what you mean. I think by sidebar you were referring to your gadget docks. If this is the case, use this css:

      #gadget-dock{
      position: fixed !important;
      right: 0px !important;
      }

      Cheers! :)

  4. And while I am at it, is there a way to keep that little bar at the top of the blog with the blogger logo, next blog link, etc...? I miss having that as I'm accustomed to clicking on the logo to get back to my dashboard.

    1. Well, you're referring to the Navbar. There isn't any easy way to bring it back. And even if you managed to bring it back for ur site, the moment you click on 'Next', it's gonna disappear as other dynamic view blogs do not have Navbar by default. Bummer, I know.

  6. hi yoga,

    i never comment on blogs but i really need to say thanks, i couldnt have made the switch to dynamic views without your help. i must have used 20 of the tutorials and tricks you have on your site. soo grateful. you know it all!

    i just have one more question. the blog is all set and working fine, but when i try to post the link to it on facebook, facebook doesnt pull a preview from the site to show a thumbnail or text preview. i see other blogs using dynamic views that are able to generate a fbook preview, so it must be possible and just something i have wrong in my template. any ideas??? this is my site http://blog.theupliftingproject.org/

    thanks soo much for all youve already helped with!

    1. Hi veeboo,

      Thanks for your nice comment :) About facebook, I'm afraid I couldnt be much of a help. Believe it or not, I don't even have a FB account. However, I have noticed complaints about this in Blogger Help Forum before. That means you're not the only one affected. The current consensus in Blogger Help Forum is that Facebook changed something on their site, since Blogger did not make any noticable change in their blog feed. You might want to try contacting Facebook's support team.

      Delete
    2. veeboo - Try surrounding your new post with paragraph html tags. Sometimes that works for me but FB does not seem to have much consistency in this area.

    3. hey kansas bob, thanks so much for the tip. i tried it but it didnt work :(

      here is an example of a dynamic views blog that DOES generate a facebook preview-
      http://phylogenomics.blogspot.com

      while mine ( http://blog.theupliftingproject.org/ ) doesnt.

      hoping maybe someone can spot a difference in their coding/setup and mine that is making the difference.

      ive never ever had a problem with facebook giving a thumbnail/text preview of my blog until the second i switched to the dynamic views template, so i know it must be something in the new code that is causing the issue

      most of our readers come from facebook links so this is a big issue! thanks a lot for helping out

    7. hey, yup i tried that, doesnt work. im so confused :( thanks for your help though!

    8. hey kansas bob, thanks so much! sorry im just seeing this now. the meta description on each post worked great for the text description, but im still having no luck getting a thumbnail to appear. i just played with it for an hour trying to figure out different ways to do it, but nothing worked.

      i have the specific code facebook looks for for the preview image which is < meta property="og:image" content="http://www.onjd.com/image.jpg" />

      but blogger/dynamic views won't allowing me to edit the html of my blog to put it in under < head>

      even if i can get that done, its not an ideal fix because facebook would still only see that one thumbnail all the time, and not pick up the new ones as tehyre posted, as it used to do before dynamic views (unless i manually change it each time of course)

      aahhhh frustrating!!! but i appreciate the help & input from both bob and yoga

  7. Hi Yoga! I'm a regular here and love your tips. I stumbled onto a question myself and thought Yoga would be the man to go to.

    See, I got this new "Subscribe" widget that I'm totally digging: http://www.way2blogging.org/2012/02/mashable-style-social-subscription-widget-for-blogger-blogspot.html

    But when I add it to my sidebar, it just doesn't feel right.

    How do I add a widget to my sidebar, without the borders and background? I made you this picture for better understanding: http://i43.tinypic.com/xmsxsj.png

    Plus I use the Awesome Inc template, refer to this image for exact template: http://i40.tinypic.com/idwxg5.png

    Thanks man! If you could write a tutorial on this, it would be awesome. People could use it for other things such as posting ads without the sidebar background, etc.

    1. Hi Nick,

      I suppose this is fixable. But almost all the time, there is no one generic answer. The fix will depend on your code, and I'd have to inspect your blog to suggest something - thus the reason why it is difficult to publish a post on this. Shall we have a look at your blog then?

      Limiting the width of the header bar (or anything dynamic in Dynamic Views) will be disastrous. You can, however, center the links in the header bar. Check out this post:

    6. I would like to change the ribbons into either a red rectangle or even a simply transparency and keep the date in a red font...any of this possible?

      Also, the CSS to remove the gadget freezes the rest of my dock.

      Once again, you are an enormous help! Thanks Thanks!!

      Delete
    7. The CSS code works fine when I tested it, and it's more likely that the freezing is caused by some other source. Mind if i take a look?

      Red rectangle - gonna be hard unless if you have a picture of a red rectangle, then we MIGHT be able to replace the ribbon. Transparent ribbon will be much more practical and easier. Here, add this to your CSS:

      .ribbon .ribbon-piece {
      background: transparent !important;
      box-shadow: 0 0 0 transparent !important;
      }
      .ribbon .ribbon-piece {

    6. Hi Phoe,

      It seems like Blogger's script is overriding the custom tweak when a page is accessed directly via its directlink. The header will be non-floating if you access the link via your blog/homepage, but it'll revert back to its original state if links are accessed directly. Looks like we can't do anything about this.

    also one more thing...is there a way to make the sidebar menu (left on sidebar view) stick? when you click on the lower items, it moves up, awkardly. and i don't think the scrollbar looks too keen on my blog. i would love it to just stick and maybe even move when the the viewer scrolls the entire page. possible?

    i am the one who had the entire blog mess up because statcounter gave me some stupid instructions! i had to start from scratch because my backup did not work out for some strange reason.

    thank you so so so so much. i am so stressed because some big creative directors want to see my work and i can't have my site looking wonky! :)
    thank you so much!

    ps if i was not clear, i got the header bar to be the same color and i removed the shadows. but before i had the entire header bar gone. which i loved.

  27. I tried this before and it worked flawlessly, but since I changed the dynamic view layout, it doesn't work. Do you know what I am doing wrong?

    1. Hi Marley,

      The problem lies in the code that you've used to add your header image. The values in it don't agree with each other. This is the correct one:


      #header .header-drawer.sticky, #header .header-drawer {
      top: 159px;
      }

      #header .header-bar{
      height: 190px;
      }

      #header:hover .header-drawer, #header .header-drawer.open, .header-ssyby, body.viewitem-open #header .header-drawer {
      top: 190px;
      }

      #header-container {
      height: 230px;
      }

      .viewitem-panel .viewitem-inner {
      top: 125px;
      padding-bottom: 145px !important;
      height: auto !important;
      }

      #header-container #header.header .header-bar span.title{
      background: url(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-D0omhbtX6v4/UAjQDCKlE4I/AAAAAAAAMrk/bY_gDKPUKX0/s1600/Grey+Header.jpg)
      no-repeat center;
      margin-left: auto !important;
      margin-right: auto !important;
      height: 190px;
      }

      Please update your code accordingly. Also, I've realised that some of your code is repeating itself several times. These duplicates codes are only gonna put your template in trouble sooner or later. Remove the duplicates to be on the safe side.

      Cheers :)

  29. Thank you so much for all your advices, it really helps me! I have a question and hope i will be clear enough (i'm french so... not easy!). My blog title is bigger now (one of your tutorial helps me) but it is a little bit hidden behind the header bar (with differents links). I just want to change the position of the header bar so that it could be lower... Is it possible? Thanks again for your gifts!!! Have a good day :-)

  31. Hey there !

    I don't know if anyone has talked about this problem before but I'm having trouble with my sticky header bar in Google Chrome.
    It works perfectly in Firefox but I don't know why, Chrome messed it all up.
    Do you know anything about this? It's pretty important since I'm trying to find a job and I have to send my portfolio to employers :s

    Thanks !

  32. Hi Yoga, the code works very well on my desktop, but is ignored on an iPad. That is not really a problem, and seems to be the same behavior than buzz.blogger.com.
    However it has a strange side effect on the iPad. When I scroll the page, the header scrolls too, but once I stop the header bar reappears overriding part of the blog text. This does not happen with buzz.blogger.com. Any suggestion?

  35. Hi Yoga,

    Love the tweak, but there's one issue i am finding.

    When the width of the browser drops to 600px below (mobile devices), the 65px fixed position is too large. The header shrinks to 50px.

    Any thoughts on how to take both header sizes into account with your CSS?

    Thanks

    1. Hi Jesse,

      I'm afraid we can't set two static values in the code. Best way forward is to disable mobile view and force desktop view on mobile devices instead.

    1. Hi Sofia,

      Some of your CSS code is repeating itself several times (I've warned you about this several times before). Until you consolidate these codes and remove all duplicates that you can find, you're gonna keep running into problems each time your try to change something..

    1. Hi Sofia,

      I would do it for you but I'm extremely tied up at the moment with lots of assignments.. It's pretty simple actually.. Go to your 'Add CSS' box in your template designer, compare each code with the ones below.. If they appear identical, just get rid one of them.. Using 'Ctrl + F' could be helpful to see if a code is repeating or not..

      Repeat the steps until there are no more duplicate codes in your CSS..

  40. This helped a lot thanks! I'm still having a slight problem though. My banner is 1050x400, and if I change the height from the code from your other tutorial:

    #header-container #header.header .header-bar span.title{
    background: url(http://i42.tinypic.com/33tm160.jpg)
    no-repeat center;
    margin-left: auto !important;
    margin-right: auto !important;
    height: 400px;
    }

    It will reveal more of the banner, but covering up the post and the title like this: http://i41.tinypic.com/34t92sp.png. So how do I actually get more space between the banner and the actual post space?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. The answer lies in the other tutorial. The original tutorial had a header height of 165px. If you're increasing the height to 400px (an increment of 235px from the original value), you need to add 235px to all the numeric value in the code in the OTHER tutorial. Once you've got that sorted, you can proceed with the tutorial on this page.

    1. Hello Grethe,

      Sorry for the late reply (I just got married very recently). You've got values all wrong, thus the shaking.

      Look for these lines:

      #header .header-drawer.sticky, #header .header-drawer {
      top: 234px;
      }
      #header .header-bar{
      height: 234px;
      }
      #header:hover .header-drawer, #header .header-drawer.open, .header-ssyby, body.viewitem-open #header .header-drawer {
      top: 234px;
      }
      #header-container {
      height: 304px;
      }
      .viewitem-panel .viewitem-inner {
      top: 200px;
      padding-bottom: 220px !important;
      height: auto !important;
      }

      Change them values like the ones below:

      #header .header-drawer.sticky, #header .header-drawer {
      top: 203px;
      }

      #header .header-bar{
      height: 234px;
      }

      #header:hover .header-drawer, #header .header-drawer.open, .header-ssyby, body.viewitem-open #header .header-drawer {
      top: 234px;
      }

      #header-container {
      height: 205px;
      }

      .viewitem-panel .viewitem-inner {
      top: 169px;
