Hi jn.pierr I am the author of LeftBar <https://leftbar.tiddlyspot.com/>. You really timed your question because I have barely passed by here for a few months now. Unfortunately I can't really answer your question. I only create wikitext plugins and in vanilla TW and the link I gave is the actual source for the plugin. You obviously use nodejs so I'm afraid I don't have any idea what might cause the error or how to resolve it.
With that said, it is not a very complicated construction. And it is likely to be considered a hack because I'm not a real coder. You see the plugin "files", really its shadow tiddlers, just like for any plugin - i.e in the TW Ctrlpanel, click the plugin and see its contents tab. To a great extent, the plugin functions by setting CSS values for the TW native page layout values. The actual menu is a tiddler forced to sit up in the left corner. <:-) On Monday, September 27, 2021 at 3:21:28 PM UTC+2 [email protected] wrote: > I’ve encountered a problem with the LeftBar plugin (v2.1.4).
