Yakov,

I'm happy to help you, but as you say it became a pretty wide-ranging topic, 
so rather than my trying to write a small book's worth of "summary", why 
don't you ask some specific questions and I'll do my best to give you 
details of the solutions that worked best for me.

These questions could be based on snippets of my "problem postings", or 
directly addressing what you're trying to accomplish in your use case.

Keep the "hierarchical tagging" side from the "master pool of tiddlers" 
idea, as they are completely separate ideas.

Hans

Thanks so much for your detailed answers Julian. I've come a long way in the 
past few days, and had already found the "built-in" sync you discuss - I'm 
using Eric's ImportTiddler's plugin, seems to work the same way (using the 
native functionality?)

In fact I find this much better for me than LoadTiddlers, although 
LoadTiddlers works great for simple scenarios, e.g. I now have a "master 
Plugins" TW which I use for sync'ing with the original author's source, and 
then a single "update plugins" button updates them all in the child TWs.

For the "master hierarchical tag repository" challenge, a combination of 
TiddlersTweak and ImportTiddlers works well so far.

Yes I need to be attentive, make backups etc, but it's so much better than 
the previous alternative - manually editing in multiple TW files to keep 
them in sync.
> Having said all that, I don't think this will work for you as you are

hierarchy from the child TW files.

I do delete the tags from the child TWs and then do a fresh import, so far 
not a problem - TagglersTweak is just the ticket, also for bulk re-tagging. 
I just wish it would make use of Matchtags' boolean select capabilities. . .


Regarding the challenge of hierarchical tagging, it's a challenge just about 
anywhere! The only tool I've found that handles it well from a user-friendly 
POV is Evernote (I'm sticking to the offline v2 for that), but it's very 
limited in allowing for any other presentation/navigation paradigms - great 
for collecting and classifying data up-front, but not so much for 
distributing/presenting for consumption - IMO TW's forte.

Regarding multiple taxonomies - that's a bit challenge in many ways, not 
just technical, and I doubt it would be much easier in WordPress. Although I 
could set it up, I really like TW's single-file portability and lack of 
dependencies for distribution, version control integration etc so I think 
I'll keep forging ahead here.

BTW I highly recommend checking out TWT-treeview - I'm using the "Executive" 
template - very flexible tool for multiple navigation schemes - tabbed 
menus, multiple hierarchies per tab. . .

For future googler's, here's an updated ViewTemplate to handle the issue 
that the externally-maintained tagging tiddlers (indexing terms) shouldn't 
be edited locally in the child TWs. Rather than just "warning" the user 
(there were logic problems in the previous example as well), this one 
actually prevents any editing, and incorporates the notice that this is a 
special tiddler right into the display of the title:

2011-06-20 Thread Julian Knight
Tag hierarchies are FAR from obvious in TW ;) Many have a google for 
"tagglytagging" - it may take a while to get the concepts straight in your 
head!

>Sorry, what "normal sync process"? And define "too much" - every once in a 
while I refactor say 30% of the hierarchy, and I want all the "child" TW's 
to reflect the new structure of the "master" without having to manually keep 
them in sync as I'm doing now.

You can import any tiddler from another TW file. That would include a 
tiddler that had the name of a tag you wanted. For example, if one of your 
tags was "MyTag1", create a TW file containing a new tiddler, name the 
tiddler "MyTag1" and give it a tag of "MyTag1". Now create a new TW file, go 
to the "Backstage" and choose "Import". Point the import at your first TW 
file and press the Open button, you will get a list of the tiddlers in that 
file, choose "MyTag1". At the bottom of the import tiddler list, you will 
see an option checkbox called "Keep these tiddlers linked to this server so 
that you can synchronise subsequent changes" this is ticked by default. OK 
so save the new TW file and go back to the original file, change the 
"NewTag1" tiddler and give it a description. Switch back to the new file, go 
to Backstage again and choose "Sync". This is the "normal sync process" I 
mentioned. You should see the NewTag1 tiddler marked as updated so resync 
and the descriptive text should appear in your new TW file.

Having said all that, I don't think this will work for you as you are 
regularly reworking the hierarchy - you'd have to manually delete the old 
hierarchy from the child TW files.

> For future googlers - http://tiddlytools.com/#ExternalTiddlersPluginInfo 

Yep, you got it ;) Never can keep all these plugins straight myself! And 
Eric is far too productive for me to remember all his plugins let alone

I think you may be trying to push TW a little too far, it is really meant to 
be a straight-forward information management tool & trying to get it to 
kludge multiple taxonomies is rather a stretch.

If you could cope with an online tool rather than offline, Wordpress might 
be a better fit.

Otherwise, maybe pressing a custom field into use as an alternative taxonomy 
would be better?

[tw] Re: "shared pool" of tags for multiple TWs

2011-06-17 Thread HansBKK
Sorry this is so involved - first, the background:

My current thinking is that the "external source" is simply a repository 
containing a hierarchy of tags which I want to maintain centrally. These 
tags will be applied to many - currently a dozen, eventually hundreds of 
separate different "content sets" (lets call them books), which are stored 
in separate TW files, containing somewhat related types of content, but not 
on exactly the same topics.

The master contains the "universal" concepts common to all the texts, which 
hierarchy is important to keep consistent across all the TW files.

But each individual TW file will need to also have its own specific 
terminology - internal, local taxonomy - that doesn't need to - in fact 
shouldn't - exist in the "central thesaurus" master.

For example, if I were cross-indexing hundreds of source texts from all the 
major religions - in the master file I maintain the thesaurus of "universal 
values" terms - ethical concepts, personality traits, states of mind, 
behavioral practices etc that are common to nearly all the major religions. 
However Islam has its own set of specialized terms, which I want do want to 
index within the Muslim TW files; Buddhism has a lot of its own set of 
unique terms as well, Hinduism, etc.

If I had to maintain each of the separate religions' terms together all 
mixed in with the universal set, the master becomes much more difficult to 
manage.


Now from the POV of processing a given text:

Tagging a books' tiddlers is much more difficult if I have to try to 
remember which terms are universal and which are specific to that religion - 
it works much better if I can first run through the text applying all the 
master tags in one pass, and then make a separate pass applying the local 
ones.

Now that I think about it, since I'm likely to end up with multiple Buddhist 
TWs - one mahayana and one theravada - or perhaps I start hitting 
performance issues and want to split the ancient Hindu texts out from the 
more recent ones, it would probably be better to simply talk about 
separating the tag hierarchies not just local vs external but more generally 
by source - multiple external sources, with if it isn't too much of a 
problem still leaving the possibility for local-only ones.

Most excellent Eric, thanks, not only for responding here, but for all the 
tremendous work you've put into the project over the years.

A followup question, perhaps a bit OT and of course addressed to anyone 
willing to chime in, not just Eric:

Is there a way to distinguish *at tagging time* between one set of tags and 
another?

Say I'm tagging a new tiddler in one of my "child" TWs. I have my 900+ 
tiddlers "sync/imported" from the "master", and then I have a set that are 
specific only to the local document. I'd like to either:

tag the tiddler in two 'rounds', first using the set from the master, then 
using the local set.

or, if that isn't possible

to at least be able to somehow tell the two sets apart

I'm thinking I could keep the two sets in separate hierarchies, or, if they 
were all tiddlers, use distinguishing "meta-tags" (e.g. "external" vs 
"local).

Related questions while I'm at it: Is it possible to similarly distinguish 
somehow between tags that are "just tags" (those that aren't also tiddlers) 
and the "taggly tiddlers" (excuse if there are more precise terms to 
distinguish the two types)?

Worst case, I suppose I could use a naming convention for the tags 
themselves, but that's kludgier than I'd like.

Indeed.  For your purposes, ExternalTiddlersPlugin would *not* be the
right fit.  That plugin allows you to keep content in other TWs AND/OR
external text files, and then *render* that content via the
<> macro by using an external file/URL reference instead of a
local tiddler title reference.  Note: content loaded in this fashion
does NOT pull in tags or custom field values from the external
document.  Only the tiddler *text* content is accessed.

In contrast, LoadTiddlersPlugin is an "importer".  It pulls tiddler
content from other TW documents and adds them to the current
document.  Once imported, those tiddlers are full participants in all
the local TW functionality, and include all their tags, custom fields,
create/modification dates, author info, etc.  If you also install
TemporaryTiddlersPlugin, then you can have LoadTiddlersPlugin
automatically add the "temporary" tag to the imported tiddlers, so
that they will NOT be stored in the local file when that file is
saved.

2011-06-16 Thread HansBKK
Thanks, choices are good.

I noticed this references to another of Eric's:

http://www.tiddlytools.com/#LoadTiddlersPlugin

http://www.tiddlytools.com/#ExternalTiddlersPlugin

Can anyone comment on pro's and con's between the two? (or
masterinclude's for that matter)

It seems to me that the latter requires the "child" TW to be pre-
populated with (in my case) 900+ tiddlers with unique macro code in
each calling its content from the "master", while the former will do a
bulk import/update into a blank target based on tiddlers with a
certain tag in the source TW.

If so my testing will start with that one 8-)

And of course I'll report back here. . .

Thanks Julian.

Sorry I wasn't more clear.

Yes the tags are tiddlers already - if there's another way to organize
tags into a complex hierarchy as I described, I'd like to know about
it. And list visibility isn't an issue, with thousands of tiddlers in
addition to the 900+ tagging ones, I'm not using the sidebar for
navigation much 8-)

Sorry, what "normal sync process"? And define "too much" - every once
in a while I refactor say 30% of the hierarchy, and I want all the
"child" TW's to reflect the new structure of the "master" without
having to manually keep them in sync as I'm doing now.

> Alternatively, you could use Erics external tiddler tools (see

Cool! Looks like just the ticket, as long as the tiddlers come in with
their tags intact - I'll check it out!

No need to keep the hierarchy in sync once the files have been
"published", and I'm the only author at the moment.

Thanks for your help Julian. . .

[tw] Re: "shared pool" of tags for multiple TWs

2011-06-16 Thread Julian Knight
How about having a set of tiddlers named after the tag and tagged with the 
name:

Tiddler Title = tag1
Tags= tag1 excludeLists

etc.

As each tiddler is tagged with excludeLists, it would prevent them clogging 
up the general lists but are still easily available from the tag lists in 
other tiddlers. Each of these tag tiddlers would contain their own 
description of course.

You could then either just use the normal import tiddlers tools to import 
the tag tiddlers from a central, common source. This would work if the list 
doesn't change too much (since adding/deleting would be manual) updates 
would be handled via the normal sync process.

Alternatively, you could use Erics external tiddler tools (see 
tiddlytools.com) keeping all of the common tags in a TW file that all other 
files reference, loading the tag tiddlers on startup. Then you just have to 
sync the common tags TW file between users computers - you might use Dropbox 
or some other mechanism for this.


Anyway, a few ideas to try.
Regards, Julian Knight
