I'm new so here's my problem

[Cristian]

I am trying to learn how to write famous with meteor and so far I have a few problems:

• I don't quite get the positioning. How can I set a node's position bellow a node that was set on it's Y to be RS?
  
• I've tried to do something with absolute positioning just for testing but now I can't scroll down...I don't have a scrollbar and I've seen that {{#Scrollview}} doesn't exist anymore in v1.x.

  Sorry for my bad english... Here is my code (maybe you can help me understand by fixing it

  Home.html

  <template name='homepage'>
  {{#Scene}}
  {{#Node id="baseNode" size="P:1.0 ; RS"}}
  
      {{#Node id="header" size="P:0.7 ; A:120" align="[.5,0]" mountPoint="[0.5,0.0]"}}
          {{#DOMElement class="header"}}
              <h1> Home Page </h1>
          {{/DOMElement}}
      {{/Node}}
  
      {{#Node id="content" size="P:0.7 ; A:500" align="[.5,0]" mountPoint="[0.5,0.0]"
          position="[0,170]"}}
  	    {{#DOMElement class="content"}}
  		<p> This is the content for now </p>
  	    {{/DOMElement}}
      {{/Node}}
  
      {{#Node id="footer" size="P:0.7 ; RS" align="[.5,0]" mountPoint="[0.5,0.0]"
  	position="[0,680]"}}
               {{#DOMElement class="footer"}}
  	         <p> This is the footer </p>
  	     {{/DOMElement}}
      {{/Node}}
  {{/Node}}
  {{/Scene}}
  </template>  
  </ul>

Thank you for posting on the pads! I didn't know about sequentialLayout (as I said i am new)

Oh, did you see that? Sorry, I'm currently away on holiday and tried to do a quick answer but I didn't have a chance to finish it :>

So yes, quite unfortunately the new version of Famous came very bare, with no layouts. In general for now you're meant to manually position the elements yourself, but I wrote a SequentialLayout that's in the latest release, since everyone needs it and it wasn't coming from Famous. And as you noticed there's also no Scrollview (yet?), I might need to do that myself too.

Just realize that the new version is unfortunately still quite immature, with progressing happening a lot slower than I would have liked, as per my latest update. Especially at this early stage, from the famous-views side, there are still some inherent assumptions that people are familiar with the old version... eventually of course there'll be a full site with up-to-date code with a variety of come uses, etc. For now as you noticed the fview-lab pads are a great source of information.

What you really want for here is a HeaderFooterLayout like we had in v0. Until then, in theory you can rig the SequentialLayout like I did in the example, but it's not working perfectly with RenderSize and I need to look at that.

Thanks for your patience.
