Hide Nav Bar until Scrolling

I Need Help
1

Hello. How can I hide the Nav Bar until scrolling. I had it working in 4.1.1, and when I updated to the latest version, 4.3.2, it’s not working at all.

It was initially set up as a bric after the Hero page, so it would just appear once you began to scroll, but would not be visible until then.

Now, I can’t get it to work. The bric doesn’t appear at the top upon scrolling, and instead appears as a static bric, under the Hero, and sticks once it gets to the top as I continue to scroll the site.

I can’t understand why the updates since 4.1.1 keeping doing this so I end up staying at 4.1.1

I have to go back to 4.1.1 again after trying 4.3.2 again today, as it still doesn’t work for me.

I recall in Blocs 3 you could set the padding of the navbar to -90px or so and it would hide until scroll. It was a bit bumpy though. To get a smooth scroll you’ll need to add some Javascript. Sample here: How To Slide Down a Bar on Scroll.

Alternatively, SmartNav from @Whittfield could be your best friend.
Super easy to implement into your Blocs file and a dozen of additional styling options for your Navbar.

Thanks Jerry, that might be a solution, although as much as it is great for someone to be earning and creative, I kind of think this should be basic for a web design app? Maybe I am hoping for too much…

In my humble opinion:

  1. Basic is having a Navbar (whether or not sticky)
  2. Navbar animations are a ‘plus’. For this, third party developers step in.

Thanks Jerry, it always worked for me up until 4.1.1 without ‘plus’, so hopefully I’ll get some help with it.

I think your issue is related to the change in the way the sticky works. It’s now a scroll to sticky, as it should be. Not the previous behaviour. You will need to make some modifications to get the result you would like.

Thanks for your help M. Yes you’re correct. No idea how it has changed from one to another from just the update. Seems strange. It’s beyond me as I don’t know what to do as I can’t see what changed internally to cause the difference. Shame I can’t fix it.
