Deep link ends up in wrong position

[darthsaschi]

Hi swiftideas.

I have a deep link problem.

Navigating to the Rows via menu – like this: http://bnbm.de/de/home-edit/ then click on “News” – is no problem and end up as expected, but when I call the deep link to that row – like this: http://bnbm.de/de/home-edit/#News – the page is scrolled down, but to a wrong position.

Do I do something wrong?

How can this be fixed?

Thank you and kind regards.

Apologize, somehow the topic is not assigned to Ed.
It’s forwarded now.

Hi Rui.

No problem.

Ah, I see I deleted the page.

Can now be seen on:
http://bnbm.de/de/home/#News

Best regards.

Hi @Sascha

You’ll need to add spacing larger than the sticky header to the top of each row – unfortunately the browser functionality scrolls to the top without taking into account the sticky header overlaying – we have absolutely no control over this.

Hi Ed.

Not sure if we are talking about the same.

I added blank spacer on top of the rows to compensate the sticky header and everything works fine if I open the base page and navigate downwards via hash-links in the main-menu. That is to say open http://bnbm.de/de/home then click on “News”.

The problem is when I try to open a deeplink into a blank browsertab – so I can send a link directly to a specific topic at the middle or bottom of the page. That is to say paste http://bnbm.de/de/home/#News into a blank tab. This way the page is opened and scrolled down – but way too far. Not only by the height of the sticky header but maybe somewhat like 600 or 800 px too much. I didn’t measure, but it’s way too far.

Please compare http://www.seattlecidercompany.com/#find-us – this deeplink ends up with the page opened at the perfect position. This is what I need.

Thank you, Ed and kind regards.

Btw.: I also want to thank you and the whole staff for your overall support. This is one of the best support I ever had 🙂

Can you post the login here again please? Have got a workaround for this I think 🙂

Hi Ed.

Cool! It works – not perfect, but quite a whole lot better than before.

The mobile view still too far out, but not as far as before…

So what did you do? Will this be part of an update or is this some special solution for my setup here?

I ask because I want to purchase Cardinal for future projects. If this is a special solution I would run into the same issues with new installs.

Thanks and kind regards.

Check now – made an adjustment 🙂

This will be in the next update, same as I’ve customised your files.

Hi Ed.

I´m afraid it still does not work as good as I hoped.

On my Android:

Opening this in a new tab (01.png)
leads to this (02.png)
where it should end up here (03.png)

Opening this in a new tab (04.png)
leads to this (05.png)
where it should end up here (06.png)

This is still a signifikant difference and it will confuse the user.

I don´t know what is the technique behind, so this is just an idea spoken in human language:

The One-Page-Navigation or the hash-links work like a charm, so might something like this be possible?:

1. WordPress chatches a deeplink like site.com/#link
2. now it opens up the site without the hash-suffix – site.com – at the uppermost top
3. next it performs the deeplink as if the hash-link was clicked in the navigation
4. and scrolls down exactly to the right position

I think the browser´s adress-bar needs to be nulled (without #link) because it remains even if I navigated to a different part of the site. It´s somewhat strange if I navigate to “News” and the browser´s adress bar still says “#contact”. Might also be confusing if the user navigates to a certain part and then copies the URL – with a deeplink to a different part.

This would have to be also true for a deeplink to a tab somewhere within the onepager…

So what do you think?

Thank you and kind regards.

Sascha
