[tw] Re: Auto append tiddlers
Why do you want them to be physically contained in one tiddler ? It looks to me like you want this feature, as a solution to another problem or solution you have developed, that you have not told us about. What is it you are going to do with this single tiddler once it is combined, that you can't do if you have used the embedded tiddler script Or a ForEachTiddler that displays the content of every tiddler with it's title as their tag. One way, you could do what you want with a procedural difference is to have a new tiddler command that uses the previous tiddler as it's source content. There are a number of ways you could archive the equivalent to your request but without knowing why I would only be guessing.

I really would like to use LoadTiddlersPlugin - but it changes/ translates my Danish characters in tiddler titles and text into crappy reminicenses of the originals... Ex: Lærerinitialer is interpreted as:LærerInitialer There are problems with all instances of the characters: æ ø and å It's the same problem with SnapShotPlugin - It's a marvelous tool - in English - but I can't use the snapshot to file function because of a similar behaviour... If it's just me having these problems (...come on - there must be a german or swede in the forum, who experiences similar malbehavior )- I'm sure Mr Shulman can find better things to concentrate on... Must I use ImportTiddlers plugin not to ruin the text in tiddlers? If that's a fact - is there some way I can make a macrobutton which invokes ImportTiddlersPlugin functions in a similar fashion??? - I need to be able to specify an Url and tiddlers filtered by tags and automatic "look-for-changes- and ask-before-overwrite"-behaviour...

[tw] Auto append tiddlers
So I've been scratching my head trying to figure out how to get a tagged tiddler to append itself to a tiddler with the tag name. For example: I have my wiki set to auto-tag with the date the tiddler is created. So I have this tiddler. It is called TestTiddle. It is tagged with 04/03/2009 - today's date. What I have been trying to find is a plug- in or a macro that will take any tiddler tagged "04/03/2009" and parse it together under one tiddler with the tag as the tiddler title. So when I click on [[04/03/2009]] it will bring up TestTiddle followed by anything else tagged with 04/03/2009.

[tw] Re: Making the MainMenu left justified with some entries indented
Eric, that really helps.
OK, this is now in the MainMenu:
{{leftjustify{[[Test1]]}}}
{{indent{[[Test2]]}}}
{{indent{[[Test3]]}}}
{{indent{[[Test4]]}}}
{{leftjustify{[[Test5]]}}}
And I used the display:block; option in the CSS code as you suggested
below.
The result looks like this:
Test1
Test2
Test3
Test4
Test5
... double spaced...
So, I coded the MainMenu as follows:
{{leftjustify{[[Test1]]}}}{{indent{[[Test2]]}}}{{indent{[[Test3]]}}}
{{indent{[[Test4]]}}}
{{leftjustify{[[Test5]]}}}
...which gave me:
Test1
Test2
Test3
Test4
Test5
Which is what I was looking for...
Thank you again for being so extraordinarily responsive!

{{classname{this is a SPAN}}}
{{classname{
this is a DIV}}}
The extents (dimensions) of a SPAN (inline element) are only as big as
the content inside it. However, the extents of a DIV (block element)
will go all the way across the whole container (e.g., the MainMenu).
Thus, text-alignment CSS (left/center/right/justify) will only work
properly if applied to a DIV (or a SPAN with style='display:block')
Try adding "display:block;" to your CSS rules:
.leftjustify{ text-align:left; display:block; }
.indent{ text-align:left; margin-left:1em; display:block; }
Alternatively, you could leave the CSS as-is and just write:
{{leftjustify{
[[Test1]]}}}
{{indent{
[[Test2]]}}}

[tw] Re: Generic floating tiddler? (E.g a menu, to save real estate)
hi mat, nice to read there's more people interested in the combination of info visualization and TW. I'm still hoping for something like you describe above, but the other way around: have the tagmindmap (or any other visualization of content) as screenfill/background and the tiddlers pop up next to the node that's clicked on. My try in implementing tagmindmap and moveablePanel is at http://www.mobilelibrary.nl I'd love to have more info visualization plugins for TW, my ultimate dream would be something that looks like what i did now, but with a small menu which lets the user/reader choose between, for instance, the hyperbolic tree of tagmindmap, a tagcloud, or a geographical map with markers that represent the tiddlers. And my oh my do i hope that Jeremy continues his work on Cecily! In my opinion, the great strength of TW is the way in which it lets me connect little bits of information that gradually build op a hive, or network, or pattern of fields of interest. Info visualization greatly helps in discovering connectedness between little bits and pieces. To be able to use this not only for my own benefit, offline, but also the fact that nothing is easier to build your own website then simply uploading one html-file is in my view the great 'selling point' of TW! ciao, ML --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.

[tw] Making the MainMenu left justified with some entries indented
I have this in the MainMenu Tiddler:
{{leftjustify{[[Test1]]}}}
{{indent{[[Test2]]}}}
And these in the StyleSheet:
.leftjustify{
text-align: left;
}
.indent{
text-align:left;margin-left:1em;
}
What I get in the main menu is right justified Test1 and a second
line, Test2, also right justified.
Would !important help? And if so, how do I code that into what I have
above?
What I would like to appear would be the following, left justified in
the main menu:
Test1
Test2

[tw] Re: TiddlyWiki plugin: Call WebService
Hi Russ, Thanks again for your help. However in my case, I just have access to a public WSDL such as http://www.swanandmokashi.com/HomePage/WebServices/QuoteOfTheDay.asmx?WSDL When I tried to invoke directly the operation; i.e. http://www.swanandmokashi.com/HomePage/WebServices/QuoteOfTheDay.asmx/GetQuote I got a SOAP XML response. How can I parse the XML response in TiddlyWiki?

[tw] Re: TiddlyWiki plugin: Call WebService
Hi George, Embedding the service in an iframe is certainly not ideal - but your request intrigued me so I gave it a go in an iframe - and Iike I said, it works fine. My tiddler simply had this in it: http://127.0.0.1/Erik/webservices/Lookup_WS.asmx?op=GetLookupByClassId"; width="80%" height="100%" /> Which, obviously, is a service running on my local machine. What I have here is a whole bunch of webservices I'm developing for an application, sadly nothing I can share with the outside world since they're not for public/web consumption but for internal/intranet purposes. Further, I have no experience using/consuming any exposed services out there on the web (at a coding level, anyway). What we need is the services of someone like Eric Shulman to make it anything like useful - by that I mean, the call really needs to be sited directly in the tiddler and the returned results need to presented (i.e. mashed up) in some kind of sensible TW kinda way.

[tw] Re: Does FF3 save cookies or not?
Mike, You're correct, sadly that's not the answer I'm looking. I am using SetUserNamePlugin and have it set up to automatically prompt the user for their name when the TW opens if the name is set to YourName. I had to set it up that way because I am also using the TiddlyLock plugin. With TiddlyLock, if you start to edit a TW with the user name set to YourName, then the TW becomes locked by YourName. So if I force SetUserNamePlugin to check the value of the user name when the TW is loaded, that avoids problems if the user needs to edit the TW as SetUserName and TiddlyLock don't bump into each other when the TW is put into edit mode. Unfortunately, if I can't resolve the cookie saving issue, then every user will be getting prompted for their user name on every TW every time it's pulled up. We use hundreds of TW files in our office, so it's not an insignificant annoyance if the UserName prompt has to be dealt with every time. I still don't understand how to set the cookies exception for localhost, which I'm hopeful might be a solution, but I'm not overly optimistic that it will. ~Roger On Apr 2, 11:50 am, Mike wrote: > May not be the answer you are looking for, but I had a similar > problem on a multi user TW and I > installedhttp://www.tiddlytools.com/#SetUserNamePlugin > Prompting for User name a the start of the document > > Mike > > On Apr 2, 8:05 am, Ken Girard wrote: > > > In my home environment I am having no problem with cookies in a 2.5.0 > > TW on Firefox 3.1b3. > > It saves my userName and various configs, right down to having the > > options panel open. > > But, I just realized that this cookie might be also what is causing my > > cookies to persist for 2.4.1 TW files. > > Interesting as I'd never tried to think of it that way before. > > > Ken Girard > > > On Apr 1, 6:37 pm, roger wrote: > > > > FND, > > > Yes, I've been to that link a few times just trying to make sure I > > > correctly understood what was being communicated. > > > > Hmmm, well I guess it doesn't matter so much why FF3 is playing nice > > > with our 2.2.5 files, it's the fact that I can't save the txtUserName > > > cookie for the ver. 2.4.1 files that I need to fix. > > > > Will the localhost URL work for the situation I described?

[tw] Compilation/comparison for menu / tree / mindmap TW apps
Please help completing the following for a compiled comparison over apps that generates an overview or representation for all or several related tiddlers (any established term for this?) A typical application for these could be as, or instead of, a menu. HyperTiddlyWiki / Hypergraph (Dawn Ahukanna) http://project.dahukanna.net/tiddlywiki/twextensions.htm#HypergraphPackage or http://project.dahukanna.net/tiddlywiki/hypertiddlywiki/index.htm Gives compact mindmap type representation with all(!) tiddlers potentially visible. Based on the external java and xml software Hypergraph and thus requires external files and folders. Maybe this can now be fully integrated as a regular plugin with the latest jquery core feature? As it is, does HTW work for latest TW core / is HTW maintained? I particularly like the oval display shape in combo with font size 'proportional to' where the focus is, and the possibility to drag/ shift focus. Extremely compact and yet maximum information at the same time. TiddlyTagMindMap / TagMindMap (Jon Robson) http://tiddlytagmindmap.tiddlyspot.com/ Similar in appearece to HyperTiddlyWiki, i.e mindmap type, but it is a regular TW plugin (correct? Or does it require separate files etc?). On the negative side, it is less compact than HTW and not possible to get an overview over all tiddlers. (This creates a myoptic feeling IMO or maybe I'm missing some setting?) Status described as experimental. Seems to be worked on currently. TagCloudPlugin (Shulman, Checketts) http://www.tiddlytools.com/#TagCloudPlugin Core 2.1. Maintained. Cloud for tags or specifically declared tiddlernames. Font size proportional to numbers of related tiddlers. The tags to be shown can be set to fulfill certain criteria. For those who like tag clouds I guess this is perfect. (Personally I just think they're messy.) RelatedTiddlersPlugin (Shulman) http://www.tiddlytools.com/#RelatedTiddlersPlugin Starting from a selected tiddler, display a list and/or tree of linked or transcluded tiddlers. Regularly maintained (Functionality wise, interpret ShowAllByTags as an "all inlcusive" instance of RTP, i.e simply a listing with everything sorted under tag headings.) For TRP to be practical as some type of menu tool, I think it would benefit from a slider/expand feature such as Collins TagsTreePlugin (see next) TagsTreePlugin (Pascal Collin) http://visualtw.ouvaton.org/VisualTW.html#TagsTreePlugin "Menu type" (tree) representation. Core 2.1.0, Last update Jan. 2008 - maintained? You define which tags you want represented in the tree and in action, the tree then auto-shows the tiddlers under their respective tag heading. (Do I describe this correctly? If a tiddler is tagged with two tags, will it then show in two places in the tree?) I like that the branches are collapse/expandable. TagglyTaggingPlugin (Simon Baird) http://mptw.tiddlyspot.com/#TagglyTaggingPlugin Starting from a selected tiddler or tag name, it gives a list or tree such as by tag or sitemap or just plain lists. Preferred shape is set in a small menu over the actual lists, i.e not in the code. (Good!) A tool I personally use all the time. A thing I would love to see; The extremely usable sitemap view easily gets too long - sliders to collapse/expand the branches would be ideal. It could easily be used as a full side bar menu then. TagGridPlugin (Shulman) http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#TagGridPlugin A cross-referenced grid of tiddlers, based on tag values. Please provide additional relevant information and your spontaneous thoughts.

[tw] Generic floating tiddler? (E.g a menu, to save real estate)
Several menus or e.g mind maps are both usable and beautiful but take up a lot of valuable real estate. On the one hand you need access to the menus all the time, but on the other hand they are in the way for everything else all the time. Is there any plugin or generic solution to make specified tiddlers floating and collapsable and *dockable* (is that a word?) to the browser frame. A concrete example; In e.g Windows and Mac, you have the bars typically at the bottom that (depending on settings) can appear when touching the edge of the window, but otherwise sink back and "disappear". A floating tiddler with e.g an otherwise bulky mindmap-type menu could appear when e.g the top or right edge of the browser window is touched. E.g something as beautiful - but big - as HyperTiddlyWiki [1] could be laid there. A related idea, would be a menu or tree or mind-map etc that only shows a part, such as closely related tiddlers, but when 'touched' in some certain way, it expands into the full display. /Mat [1] Dawn Ahukanna http://project.dahukanna.net/tiddlywiki/hypertiddlywiki/index.htm --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.

Macros don't generate text output... they create DOM elements in the
browser. Thus, you can't put a macro inside another macro and have
the output of one inserted as text into the parameter list of the
other.
instead of attempting
title:"<>"
you should use a "computed parameter" (a bit of javascript, enclosed
in doubled curly-braces), like this:
title:{{ ... calculate title here ... }}
You can get the array of tiddlers with a given tag, use this function:
store.getTaggedTiddlers('tagValue')
Thus, for your purposes:
title:{{ tiddler.title+'-Qualification'+store.getTaggedTiddlers
(tiddler.title).length+1 }}

[tw] Trying to access tiddler.title in foreachtiddler in a template
I have a tiddler containing student record, it is connected with its
own StudentFormViewTemplate and StudentFormEditTemplate. In the view
template i have a newTiddler macro which is supposed to create a
Qualifications tiddler. This new qualification tiddler should be
tagged with the title of the Student tiddler when it is created. But
since multiple qualification tiddlers can be created from one parent
student tiddler i need to count any alreadt existing qualifications
tiddlers and attach a suffix to the title of the new qualifications
tiddler. so for example lets say we have a student tiddler with title
as 'rollno10', when i create the first qualification it should be
titled as 'rollno10-qualification1' and tagged as rollno10. in order
to do this i am doing this in StudentFormViewTemplate:
>" label:"Add
Qualification" tag:{{tiddler.title}} tag:"QualificationForm"
template:"QualificationFormEditTemplate" '>
But cannot make it work.
Thanks in advance.
please try the AddNewStudent link in main menu here
