[tw] Re: how to get an utc timestamp? (TW5)

[chaonuo]

I have just managed to solve this problem. so I share it here, maybe 
someone else can also make use of it.

1. clone the javasript $:/core/modules/macros/now.js to 
$:/USERNAME/modules/macros/utc.js

2. change the line

exports.name = "now";

to

exports.name = "utc";

this will be the name of the new macro


and change the macro part to:

/*
Run the macro
*/
exports.run = function(format) {
var now = new Date(); 
return $tw.utils.formatDateString(new Date(now.getUTCFullYear(), 
now.getUTCMonth(), now.getUTCDate(),  now.getUTCHours(), now.getUTCMinutes(), 
now.getUTCSeconds()),format || "0MM0DD0hh0mm0ss");
};


now I can use <> and get an utc timestamp.

I don't know javascript at all, I just searched on the web and happened to 
find a workable solution. probably there are better ways to do this.

for other beginner like me: you need to refresh the TW5 before the 
javascript macro can be used.

I wish all have a nice day!

Set the type for [[TeaserStyles]] to "TiddlyWiki 5" (or leave it blank). 
 This will cause the CSS content to be wikified, so that transclusions will 
be processed.   You can also add ... around the CSS so that it 
will still be displayed nicely in view mode.  (note: the TWCore 
automatically strips out all HTML syntax before applying the stylesheet, so 
adding the ... won't affect your CSS)

enjoy,

Fellow tiddlywikians, I'm happy to...


... tease you  !



*Some questions (after you've checked it out)*


   - I don't get* transcluded values to work in the stylesheet *(
   TeaserStyles ) so have been 
   forced to hard code stuff. If anyone would care to take a look I'd 
   appreciate it. For instance, that very first line in the stylesheet should 
   say something like
   

#teaser {height:{{sometiddler}}; ...




   - Also - and this has bothered me before - how/where is the z-index 
   value set for *tag pills*? As can be seen in the site, they somehow come 
   in front of the fading.layer
   


I've included my comments mechanism as well as the SideEditor 
 (incidentally minorly updated earlier 
today) so it should be really easy to try out stuff and throw a quick note 
in my direction. I'd appreciate it!

[Jed Carty]

I have been working a bit with using a tiddlywiki as an RPG campaign 
management tool. I have a bunch of bits that I haven't put together into 
something useful yet but me and my players are now on separate continents I 
am going to have to make some online tools. The best suggestion I have is 
to store the information in data tiddlers and display it using templates. 
Hopefully it won't be too long before I have something reusable I can put 
online.

Just found this thread from a 7 months ago:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/tiddlywiki/Citations$20from$20Google$20Scholar/tiddlywiki/w6FvDBh-pJ4/1mhSIe0mTZAJ

which is a discussion of using Bibtex entry as source for tiddlywiki.

Also working on finding a json parser. Found (but haven't tested) this so 
far: https://www.npmjs.com/package/bibtex-parser as it is beyond my tech 
skills (looks command line-driven and i tend to stay at the mac os x 
interface for the most part, and certainly my students will need to do 
that...).

Re: [tw] Re: Bibliographic References and TiddlyWiki5

[Steve Schneider]

Jed, I just checked your tiddlywiki site http://inmysocks.tiddlyspot.com.
Very impressive, very cool, and I'll spend some time on it to fully see
what you are doing.

Feeback on Citations Manager: looks excellent -- but what I'm trying to
avoid is rekeying anything. So I think the key is to use bibtex.

Here's a description of a workflow I might want to employ:

1 > Use google scholar to search for "hypertext" resources in 2015 (results

)
2 > Select an article or source of interest (Learning and navigating in
hypertext: Navigational support by hierarchical menu or tag cloud?)
3 > Determine that it is worth adding to my biblio dbase, so generate
citation. I think the most open standard would be bibtex. For example, from
google scholar choosing "cite" and then "bibtex" provides Example A
(below); from Elsevier choosing "export" and "bibtex with abstract"
provides Example B (below).
4 > I'd like to paste either of those examples, or other bibtex and
generate tiddlers that allow me to list / filter / search on bibtex fields
(see http://www.openoffice.org/bibliographic/bibtex-defs.html).

Anyone have ideas about how to do that?

//steve.

Examples of bibtex code:



Example A:


@article{walhout2015learning,
  title={Learning and navigating in hypertext: Navigational support by
hierarchical menu or tag cloud?},
  author={Walhout, Jaap and Brand-Gruwel, Saskia and Jarodzka, Halszka
and van Dijk, Martin and de Groot, Renate and Kirschner, Paul A},
  journal={Computers in Human Behavior},
  volume={46},
  pages={218--227},
  year={2015},
  publisher={Elsevier}
}

Example B:


@article{Walhout2015218,
title = "Learning and navigating in hypertext: Navigational support by
hierarchical menu or tag cloud? ",
journal = "Computers in Human Behavior ",
volume = "46",
number = "",
pages = "218 - 227",
year = "2015",
note = "",
issn = "0747-5632",
doi = "http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.chb.2015.01.025";,
url = "http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0747563215000394";,
author = "Jaap Walhout and Saskia Brand-Gruwel and Halszka Jarodzka
and Martin van Dijk and Renate de Groot and Paul A. Kirschner",
keywords = "Hypertext learning",
keywords = "Navigation behavior",
keywords = "Gender differences",
keywords = "Eye tracking ",
abstract = "Abstract As hypertext learning environments (HLE) are
widely used in education, it is important to study and know the
effects and consequences of its use. \{HLEs\} are non-linear which
means that students have to develop ways of navigating through them.
Thus, developing interfaces that facilitate and even guide navigation
is important for learning. Research showed that successful learning in
\{HLEs\} depends on both learner characteristics and \{HLE\} features.
This study investigated an \{HLE\} navigation feature (navigational
support with either a tag-cloud or conventional hierarchical menu),
task complexity (fact-finding vs. information-gathering task) and a
user characteristic (gender). Results show that neither navigational
support nor gender is associated with differences in task performance.
However, there are differences in information processing. Participants
using a tag clouds looked longer at the navigational support and
shorter at the overview pages. Combined with fewer revisits of
webpages in the tag cloud condition, this indicates a more focused
selection of pages. The deeper processing of information needed for
the information-gathering task was reflected in fewer visits to, but
longer viewing times of pages. As no differences in task performance
were found, tag clouds seem to be as effective for performance as more
traditional navigation structures for navigational support. "
}




in this case,   My workflow is to discover a source, and then want to be
able to cite it without keying in any info. I use google scholar, for
example, to discover

[tw] Bibliographic References and TiddlyWiki5

[stevesuny]

Hello everyone,

I'm working on a project (a "text book" about hypertext using TiddlyWiki as 
a case study: more on that another day).

In the immediate term, I need to implement a robust bibliographic system in 
/ parallel to TiddlyWiki5 (TW5).

I'm looking for something that is easy, universal and flexible (of course), 
and that would allow me to reference/create bibliographic objects/tiddlers 
using standard exports (including bibtex and others) from various databases 
 directly into TW5 using my tagging structure.  

I want to make references in my TW5 to my cited sources, and have the TW5 
display nicely formatted references based on filters and lists, so that I 
could provide a list of references that includes those tagged as 
"reference" and "topic:hypertext theory" etc. 

I was wondering what folks are doing these days as they seek to do similar 
tasks. Most of the references to Tiddly* and biblio* are about TiddlyWiki 
Classic, and don't seem to address the unique features and capabilities of 
TW5. 

While I'm open to using an intermediate program for biblio references (like 
Zotero or JabRef), I would want something that allows me to reference 
individual items in that system based on tags or fields.

Any thoughts or suggestions or discussion would be most welcome.

Thanks,

//steve.

Welcome Joshua! Yeah, TW is amazing (be sure to tell your friends about it!)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and intended application ideas. Felix 
should be proud to hear you like TiddlyMap. It is in deed one of the more 
ambitious TW adaptations and he is working really hard on it. Apropos TW 
for martial arts, this was put up years ago 
by...ehm... someone (couldn't possibly be me, no, no.).

Do please report on your findings for using TW for your mobile contexts. 
IMO we're lagging in this important area.

Hi and welcome Joshua,

glad you like the idea of using TiddlyWiki with TiddlyMap :) For any
TiddlyMap related suggestions/problems, please post them at GitHub
(https://github.com/felixhayashi/TW5-TiddlyMap).

To create a template tidder, create a button that sends the "
WidgetMessage: tm-new-tiddler" (see tiddlywiki.com) add the fieldnames
you want to have at the beginning as widget atrributes. Put the button
into the page toolbar (see " How to add a new tab to the sidebar"
@tiddlywiki.com).

As for mobile devices… I have no clue, I don't own a smartphone ;)
(significantly reduces the chance of spyware).

-Felix

[tw] how to get an utc timestamp? (TW5)

[chaonuo]

hi everybody,

For my purpose I need to set a "date" field for my agenda Tiddlers and 
enter a timestamp as its value. Since the "created" and "modified" are in 
UTC time, I think it is more properly if my "date" field also uses UTC 
time. At present I use the macro <> to generate a current local 
timestamp (in my case UTC+8) and then edit it by hand. 

How does one get an UTC timestamp instead? Is there an equivalent macro for 
generating UTC timestamps?

thanks !
