[tw] TW flavored RSS mashup???

2009-08-19 Thread skye riquelme

Hi All

Maybe a wild ideabut you guys seem to thrive on such
challenges!

Within a course, I´d like to have the participants monitoring their
favorite RSS feeds on relevant course topics, and then have them
contribute the items they feel would be of most interest to the
group...a sort of TW flavored RSS mashup

OK, BidiXT's RSSReader does the job in terms of reading RSS
feedsand using TiddlyTools FramedLinksPlugin, I can even read
selected feeds without ever leaving my TW spacetheres nothing like
your own TW space

now what I need is to be able to copy into the TW a feed that
interests me. Thats the question. A quick little macro that makes a
new tiddler from the feed item I am reading and like.

I use BidiXts UploadTiddlerMacro and Plugin a great deal...so once the
RSS feed is turned into a new tiddler, the UploadTiddlerPlugin...will
send it to the server-side Course Mashup.TWwhich is itself
monitored by all other participants

Maybe I need to be clear that this would be happening from local TW's,
that is connected (most of my participants have their course on a USB
stick - using PortableApps...)...so I shouldn't have those cross
domain security problems (I hope).

Is that do-able?

Thanks in advance
Skye

[tw] Re: Is it possible to link or embed multiple images at once?

2009-08-19 Thread Måns

Hi Mark

A csv-thought:
Another way to populate your TW with tiddlers containing pictures and
annotations - could be to import data via csv.
Eric has made http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#CreateTiddlersFromCSV.
If you install http://www.tiddlytools.com/#WikifyPlugin as well- you
can set up your viewtemplate with fx.: 
Then tiddlers will show a picture that link to another tiddler with
the same title + suffix: "-annotationnote" containing an annotation
(which could be a prefilled tiddler you  imported with the same csv-
file in the first place)
Again using wikifyplugin - you are able to insert a link to the
annotationnote in the tiddler with the image like this: .

I'm trying to make a fET, which will write/produce a table with 5 rows

This way I can make contactsheets for printout..
How do I do that?

This is my fET:

Sorry.  Firefox has been showing 'New Features' since the 2.5.0
release.  I don't expect the same entry to be changed with new data;
I've always expected new information to come in a new article.  My bad

It's not an empty row... you have a table with one row containing two
cells, side by side.  The problem is that the content in the 2nd cell
is about 1 text line taller than the content of the 1st cell, and both
cell's contents are being *centered* vertically!

To adjust this, in your [[StyleSheet]] tiddler, add:
   .twtable tr { vertical-align:top; }

enjoy,

[tw] Re: luminotes?

2009-08-19 Thread Mark S.

The include plugin:

http://tiddlywiki.abego-software.de/#IncludePlugin

lets you selectively bring in sets of tiddlers. You have to edit these
tiddlers in their source document, which is usually OK for archived
material.

Eric Shulman's  ExternalTiddlersPlugin will bring in one tiddler at a
time via a macro. It will create a tiddler for you on the fly, if
that's what you want, so that you can then proceed to edit the
resulting tiddler.

A real database would be a drag on portability. You can spend all day
tweaking something like MySql, worrying about permissions, users,
access levels, etc. But if you can interface with Java or Python, I
believe there are sql-style programs out there (Gadfly? On python)
that would be somewhat less unwieldy. If there is a way to connect to
"C" programs, then I'm sure there must be ancient code for x-base file
retrieval programs, which, though now deprecated, would be faster than
the javascript engine and (probably) allow larger databases.

[tw] Re: luminotes?

2009-08-19 Thread Tobias

Some random thoughts

As for (pseudo) databases... would a json interface be a good apporach
to externalize content?

Or, how about pulling collections of tiddlers individually, such that
you'd have a basic tw setup (separate core, plugins, themes) and load
content tiddlers from such external "bags" (where'd I get that term
from? ;o), chosen via a simple dropdown.

Why? For one, you wouldn't have megabytes of content in one html file
and could split up your content into meaningful categories (each one
represented by a different file ...json or simply html "snippets").

This could be managed by a general routine, whereas you would simply
flag any external file with some sort of "always load" flag (or simply
put it into preMarkupHead?), indicating that you want to include that
content on startup rather than switch to that category at
runtime ...like help, info, dictionary or todo tiddlers that you'd
personally want always available, but not intermingled with your setup
(core, plugins & themes).

In other words... if anyone has a quick tutorial or routine on how to
externalize certain tw elements into different files, withouth the
need of tiddlyweb or such, please share... though I guess that would
require some adaptations as to loading and saving routines, some sort
of "externalizePlugin".

That's odd - loading http://tiddlywiki.com/index.xml shows NewFeatures

2009-08-19 Thread rakugo

I've adjusted it even further to minify shadow tiddlers (with the
exception of ColorPalette which cannot be packed as the new lines are
significant in this tiddler). This saves only 1kb but every little
helps.

Wolfgang, I would be interested in any ways to further  reduce the
code but I really don't buy into the whole packing idea so would
rather not do it this way..
