[tw] Re: excel spread sheet that runs in a tiddler ????

2009-07-07 Thread Anthony Muscio
I think you may need something to get inline HTML to work;

Than put this in your tiddler

http://url"; frameborder="0"
width="100%" height="600">

Now go to a Google Docs document and open it. Then Copy its address from the
browser address line and place it in the place above "http://url";.

This may have problems but it looks good, test fully. Closing and exiting
the GoogleDoc seems to break out of tiddlywiki.

However it may be a lead.

I swore I would comment no more on this subject on the Developers
group.  When it comes to this subject it is like talking into the
wind.  So before I go back to trying to make practical applications
for TiddlyWiki I'll just say this.

I'm not sure if there are enough worldly wise people here to see the
unraveling of a cohesive group taking place. An unraveling that can
easily slide into a lowering of moral and dampening enthusiasm for
both users and developers.

The seeds to this potential unraveling were sown when the decision was
made to drastically change the TiddlyWiki core and subject all users
to the vagueness of unfinished software on a regular basis for months
or years.

For the core developers it can be demoralizing because they will feel
unappreciated.  The fear of bringing an avalanche of criticism with
each bug, not to mention breaking favourite plugins, will slow
development and quell enthusiasm for them.

Users who long for a stable platform to get real-world applications
done will balk at every disruption to their progress and the extra
uncertainty and distracting discussions that follow.

The hard-headed unwavering decision to ignore having a continuing
stable platform while continuing with a drastic revamp of the core
without having defined separate branches is dangerous. It will create
a de facto set of branches anyhow but more importantly it will put
users and developers into two separate camps.

The argument that users need not follow the the upgrades is a weak one
indeed for it actually fosters those de facto branches mentioned
above.  What choice does that leave users, to go out on a limb that
that has been sawed off behind them, or follow the uncertain path
development that doesn't really know where it's going.

The natural flow of TiddlyWiki being improved and tweaked with each
new release will be broken by changing fundamental core functions and
if continued will created a separate branch whether you admit it or
not.  How can any application developer feel their product is reliable
enough to be released to the world knowing that the next time their
user upgrades the core something might break.

The changes to the core using jQuery is a good one, holding great
promise.  If it is continued as a separate development it will cause
no disruption.  People will be eager to follow its progress and help
with the testing and will be drawn to it through curiosity, and
concern they may be left behind, instead of considering it a threat.

Whatever extra work separate branches create, whatever extra time it
takes is worth it because the real or imagined uncertainties of not
doing so will slow its progress even more, or worse divide and lose
both developers and users along the way.

If I was 'in the same room' as you I would emphatically say this - for
it will cost you nothing and you will gain much

Take the 2.5.x development out of the backstage upgrade path to foster
certainty for users.

Continue the jQuery core development with enthusiasm and vigor.  Make
regular announcements in both groups of new releases.

But with one addition.  Take the time to also develop little
applications as demonstration models for people to try and see some of
the advantages.

This will give you the testers you need, force you to actually test
and document some of the new additions you've made as you go and give
people ideas of how they can be used. Then when the time comes to make
the switch there will already be enthusiastic users and developers,
already knowledgeable and comfortable, to take advantage of it.

The time to put version 2.5.x into the backstage upgrade path will
occur naturally, you will know with certainty when it is the right
time, you will have loyal followers and it may actually be demanded by
popular acclaim.

That's how separate development paths can actually draw people
together instead of one that would divide them.

Sorry to everyone with a short attention span for this long post. One
could also proceed to the last paragraph, to get the gist.

> To be clear, there have been three changes associated with jQuery:

I read parts of them and I'm very well aware that everyone has put
serious consideration before implementing such a big change to the end
of bettering TiddlyWiki. You shouldn't misunderstand my posts, that I
wouldn't want this to happen. On the contrary, I'm still of the
opinion you should go forward with this, and I appreciate you do.

Also my arguments for a fork without jQuerry aren't anything you
haven't heard already and therefore haven't considered before, nor
could I give better ones as those already given by technically more
versed contributors before. I just digested all these different
perspectives (for example:
http://groups.google.co.uk/group/TiddlyWikiDev/browse_thread/thread/c7d270d638383b92#
), multiplied it with the uncertainty factor in life, and salted it
with Saq's perspective. And this is what came out of my pondering...

I think everyone agrees with the direction of development taken, the
advantages of doing so are far too obvious, theoretically.

But considering the limited manpower at Osmosoft, these advantages to
TW users might become obvious in a few months - or a few years - or,
with other uncertainties already talked about, it might make this
advantages more obvious to jQuery developers and less obvious to TW
users - in the end.

That's fine with me this way, and I take the possible risk of never
seeing any real advantages.

Then I thought - for the many reasons already pondered by others -
well, after all it isn't such a big deal, to copy and paste bug fixes
into version 2.4.3 and once more get developers on board for a healthy
competition, for those who may feel there aren't any opportunities
otherwise:

And once this uncertainty - that there might or might not come
betterments to TW end users - has been decided, also the jQuery TW
could only profit from it again (without having to take the
responsibility to look also for such a kind of legacy TW, beside all
the other perceived responsibilities: documentation, tiddly web,
cctiddly, cecily, ripple rap, tiddly hub, jquery ...).

>From developers, who otherwise may hold back their involvements,
because they are simply not sitting in the same room and may wrongly
think their forks - if indeed bringing improvements - wouldn't be
received well by the community. (if nothing else, these discussions
show that there is a real demand for a simple stable TW without an
incorporated jQuerry, which at this point is still lacking any
perceivable advantage)

I mean if an end user needs a piece of functionality he can go to a
systemServer, take a tiddler and tag it systemConfig without having to
import anything else from this repository.

If a jQuerry developer needs a piece of functionality he can come to
any TiddlyWiki and use a piece of code - but without the end user
having ever decided to distribute code he is ignorant of, nor would
know how to use for his own advantage, but costing bandwidth.

Sure, also before this was possible with essential functions of
TiddlyWiki. But jQuery TW plugins are dependent on jQuery library. And
jQuery library dependency wouldn't be necessary for still some time.

At the moment and till above will be decided - in months or years -
jQuery library is the bloat. If I upgrade to it without receiving any
perceivable advantages yet.

Primarily it is the added size without any perceivable improvement.

But I'm aware that this is difficult to understand as a big problem,
if you haven't lived for a while in a developing country. However, you
don't have too! You can't be responsible for everything - should other
developers step up and do it on their own, and for very good reason

[tw] trying to use ListBoxPlugin like formTiddler... on wrong track?

2009-07-07 Thread Dave Parker

Hi,

I was hoping to somehow get a really minimal amount of stuff to show
up in the tiddler body when editing a tiddler that has a lot of
ListBoxPlugin elements - you know, like when you edit a formTiddler
tiddler and see just <> and the 
stuff here 

I have a ShowWhen thing happening in the edit template
(ProblemTemplateEdit) and that works great, but I have another
template tiddler to view the fields with and I was hoping to not see
much of that when I open the tiddler to edit the fields.  I tried
<> and it just showed blank fields, and I
tried a ShowWhen thing in the viewTemplate and that also just showed
empty fields.

Is there another way of doing this, or should I just drop this line of
thinking?  (I was possibly going to contruct a table with a FET
statement, but wanted to see if there's any way of getting the
ShowWhen to work...)

thanks,
Dave Parker

I'm not sure what you mean by the the "code repository for external
jQuery plugin developers".

To be clear, there have been three changes associated with jQuery:

- the inclusion of the jQuery library by default; this is the decision
that you go on to critique. There was a fair amount of discussion
before we did this; the goal was to enable TiddlyWiki to benefit from
the much higher quality browser compatibility layer in jQuery

- the refactoring of some internal TiddlyWiki functions to use jQuery
functionality where it improves performance or code size

- the refactoring of some internal TiddlyWiki functions so that they
can more easily be reused. This is something that's happened since the
beginning of TiddlyWiki; other open source developers plucking out the
unique bits of functionality in TiddlyWiki for their own projects. All
we've done is rearrange the code to make that easier. It sounds like
one of your concerns is that making this functionality into a jQuery
plugin is akin to bloat, which isn't really the case.

I'm not sure what you mean here.

I need to understand more about why you think this would be desirable,
and how it would differ from the TiddlyWiki we've got today.

I'd like to understand more why you think that the integration of
jQuery may be such a big problem. Is it primarily the issue of code
size?

If people are interested, we could set up another conference call for
a discussion as well,

Best wishes

I understand that. However, you have very specific demands there, and - 
well, if you absolutely need a particular shape, but no such Lego brick 
exists yet, someone's gonna have to mold it first.
