[tw5] Re: Date format for the Timelines plugin

['MissyLaMotte' via TiddlyWiki]

Hello Eskha,

yes, thank you, indeed, the minus works for me, too. It is a bit confusing 
because it takes the place of the first year digit, so the earliest year 
you can do is -999, but that's fine for my purpose. But I still cannot get 
the first century AD to work. Any year with two leading zeroes is 
interpreted as 19..Is there a trick for that somehow?

Thanks,
Jutta

Re: [tw5] Re: Passing macro output to another macro?

[clutterstack]

Hi Petri,

I wonder if you could use list-links-draggable with a template that has an 
explicit draggable  widget in it. 
The draggable widget has an attribute "startactions" that I have used in 
macros to store a "parent" tiddler title into a field, so that I can 
shift-drag a tiddler to move it from one list to another. I haven't tried 
it in conjunction with list-links-draggable, though. 

Best,
Chris

 Petri,

 I am only starting to make use of the drag and drop features myself. In 
 this case you are using the macro  list-tagged-draggable but you can build 
 your own. Its is defined in $:/core/macros/list

 I suspect the inability to use a tiddler title with spaces may be a 
 design weakness of the macro.

 A quick solution to current tiddler with spaces *may* be tag={{{

[tw5] Re: Using TiddlyWiki for fact-based information modelling and database engineering ???

[Charlie Veniot]

Project: ORM-ish à la TiddlyWiki 


I've just posted a blog entry about the project and how it really touches 
upon a very long list of my all-time favourite things: My new and ultimate 
intertwingularity project 


There are many links in that blog to a whole bunch of interesting (well, 
wildly interesting to me...) articles in that blog entry.

Project status: I've been really busy experimenting with "forms" (widgets) 
for entering information, and am in the process of dividing the "coded 
fact" field into multiple fields.  It will take me a while to get that done 
and tested well enough before uploading to my website.

[tw5] Re: [Request] New here but without parent's tags

[clutterstack]

OK, how about this for the button actions? Usual disclaimers about backing 
up data! 

\define newHereActions()
<$set name="tags" filter="[] 
[{$:/config/NewTiddler/Tags!!tags}]">
<$action-createtiddler $basetitle=<> 
$savetitle=!!latestHere tags=<> text="* " caption="" 
meta="note"/><$action-navigate $to={{!!latestHere}}/><$action-sendmessage 
$message=tm-edit-tiddler $param={{!!latestHere}}/><$action-setfield 
$field=latestHere/>

\end

I didn't get tm-navigate to work with a brief effort, but action-navigate 
seems good. In fact, the whole thing seems to work if I omit 
action-navigate, but control over the location in the Story may make it 
worth keeping. The final action-setfield deletes the !!latestHere field 
used to store the new tiddler's title for the use of the newHereActions.

I wonder if there's a cleaner way.

Best,
Chris

 Hi everyone!

 Below is the snippet for my "New tab here" button. It creates a new 
 tiddler, with the title of the parent tiddler as the title and the tag of 
 the child tiddler. A tabs macro in the parent tiddler displays the 
 children 
 tiddlers as tabs.

 The only problem I have is that the child tiddlers inherit the tags of 
 the parent. I would like for that behavior to stop.

 What do I need to delete, add or change for that to happen? I tried 
 various things but nothing worked. I appreciate any help I can get. 
 Blessings.

[tw5] Re: "State tabs" question

[TW Tones]

David,

You can force uniqueness for each tiddler with qualify to the state eg 
state=<> however this will not be unique within the 
tiddler. 

Use   <>   
<>  to have additional tabsets unique 
both to the tiddler and within the tiddler. 

Alternatively if you do not qualify  state=$:/state/tabs/articles  changing 
the tab in one tiddler will be reflected in all other tab sets using the 
same state tiddler. This sometimes has an advantage to users who may want 
to use a particular tab in multiple tiddlers Each open with the last 
selected.

Pick and choose according to the outcome you want.

Tones

Bonsoir Jean-Pierre, Hi Tones,

I'm playing with a simple phone book / member organisation tool.
Here the last share version : https://tw5.xyz/Annuaire/annuaire.html

1/ I'm wondering If I could put some of your code to create an index, like 
you idea with first letter from tiddler, that would be great ; I've try a 
but failed..

2/ I've a second wish, to auto-complete initials from concatenate 2 fields 
values (like SN for Sylvain Naudin), you will see avatar what I'm mean.

If you have some idea's to achieve this, I'll be happy :)

Cheers,
Sylvain

tiddler the way you did, and then just remove the superfluous tags with 
action-listops...

But many others here would know off the bat the best way to increment the 
title; I'd have to look into it.

Best,
Chris

Hi David,

Looks like you are using the tm-new-tiddler message using the original 
tiddler as a template ("$param"), and need to change it to use a title 
parameter instead: https://tiddlywiki.com/#WidgetMessage%3A%20tm-new-tiddler

[tw5] Re: Managing Book Quotes

[springer]

Manish, I've just added a mock-up of how I would have begun organizing my 
quotes, if I had been working natively in TiddlyWiki from the beginning:
https://springerspandrel.github.io/tw/ethicsatwes.html#excerpt%20overview

At some point, I'd like to convert my teaching projects over so that 
excerpts have their own tiddlers in this way; it's the right way to go.

For this mockup, I haven't added fancy css or custom ViewTemplate settings. 
But the most important thing is data structure, and having confidence that 
you're setting up an approach that you can build upon without regrets. 

Last tip: be aware that some tempting field names — especially "title" 
"text" and "source" should be *avoided* for holding your bibliographic 
metadata, because TW5 is already using those field-names to track aspects 
of your tiddlers. For a list of those "already taken" field names, see 
here: https://tiddlywiki.com/#TiddlerFields

 Hi David,

 Wow, I'd better have a look at how this plugin has changed since 
 August. Thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback! 

 ...It hasn't changed on github, but locally the Omnibus plugin has had 
 a lot of work under the hood; maybe not as much superficially. As often 
 happens, I had intended to update the public version frequently, but life 
 has kept me busy and my own modifications rarely seem quite ready to share 
 and document. "Another one bites the dust" was never meant to stay up. 
 Heh. 
 It's still there in my local wikis.

 I prefer the title input field beneath the text, because if I'm adding 
 within an omnibus I usually don't want to bother with a title -- and if I 
 do, often the title comes to me only after I've written its contents. But 
 the input fields should certainly identify themselves clearly. This layout 
 is specified in my "Quick" plugin,

 The current (my local) version has a tiddler tagged "$:/tags/ViewTemplate" 
 to display the Omnibus stuff after the body on tiddlers tagged "omnibus", 
 and I have not repaired the effect that has on folding of the whole 
 tiddler 
 (i.e. it doesn't fold). That's on my list of things to fix, but it's after 
 a lot of other issues that get in the way of my using my wikis. There's a 
 snowplow effect of annoyances that don't stop the plugin from functioning 
 that I've really ignored -- as with the "omnibus" tag, which just hasn't 
 bothered me enough to clean up...yet.

 Incidentally, nearer the start of this odyssey I really wasn't sure to 
 what extent I wanted to use tags vs. custom fields, in general. Did I want 
 to use several categories of tags, and have some hidden? Did I want lots 
 of 
 custom fields? I've become much more comfortable with the idea of adding 
 fields to tiddlers.

 As for putting the omnibus-mode icons in the sidebar, certainly that 
 must be doable. I do sometimes have more than one omni open, in different 
 modes (one may be under intensive construction, another could be just for 
 reading, and another a todo list). On my current wikis, only the top 
 omnibus shows the mode-selection icons and sub-omnis follow its setting, 
 so 
 it's less cluttered. I can see the desirability of cleaning the interface 
 for publishing read-only omnis. Maybe a view-mode toolbar button to toggle 
 the mode icons? Then it could be per-tiddler.

 Cheers,
 Chris

[tw5] Re: Managing Book Quotes

[springer]

Manish,

I just replied in the other thread. But I'll recap briefly here, for folks 
coming across this thread: the best approach is probably to have one 
excerpt per tiddler, and put only the quoted passage itself in the body of 
the tiddler. Then use fields as needed for the metadata attached to each 
excerpt, and a tag such as "quote" or "excerpt" if you like. 

If you use the lovely Shiraz plugin , 
you can then also set up a tiddler for the book (or for the author, etc.) 
that filters exactly those tiddlers that have the field values you need, 
and which displays columns for the metadata you care about (caption, page, 
notes, etc.). One great thing about these dynamic tables is that you can 
see the whole list/table of excerpts *and* effortlessly drop-down to see 
the details of any one excerpt as needed.

Feel free to follow up!

[tw5] Re: TiddlyWiki best practices

[springer]

Manish, there are different ways to think about organizing quotes.

If I had been working in Tiddlywiki all along, I'd probably set up each 
excerpt as its own tiddler, putting only the actual excerpt in the body of 
the tiddler and using fields for various citation details such as author, 
title, page, meta-title (journal or enclosing book), notes. I'd tag each 
one with "excerpt" and use an excerpt-specific template to make each 
excerpt display with the relevant fields as desired. Then I would use a 
dynamic table for any desired "slice" of tiddlers (filtered based on a 
certain source, or a certain author, or with a certain word or keyword, 
whatever). If you're starting fresh with TiddlyWiki, I recommend this 
granular approach. A tiddler should generally be the smallest informational 
unit that is of interest to you and/or your audience.

In my own case, I had already developed (starting in the 1990s) a 
full-fledged database of research- and teaching-related excerpts using the 
FileMaker database app (which was my software brain prior to TiddlyWiki, 
and still handles most of my document-generation tasks). And my main use 
for excerpts in TiddlyWiki was to organize the excerpts for each particular 
reading, for access during classroom discussion. (It was easy for me to get 
FileMaker to "dress" the excerpts up with various bits of syntax and bundle 
them in sets based on my usual teaching needs. At the time (duing TW 
Classic times) it was easier to copy and paste large sets; I didn't know 
how to import a whole array.) So, I batch-generated an excerpt set for each 
class session, using a combination of <$details> formatting (using 
telmiger's plugin, referenced earlier in this thread) and 
quotation-graphics css. The result, for each chapter or article, is a 
neat-looking "accordion" array of quotes, where the summary for each 
excerpt includes a "teaser" phrase and page number, and the drop-down 
allows us to expand passages of interest as needed during discussion. You 
can hit "edit" within an excerpt-oriented tiddler to see what the guts look 
like: 
https://springerspandrel.github.io/tw/ethicsatwes.html#Arisotle%201%20excerpts 
...  But again, the reason I didn't take a "granular" approach (one tiddler 
per excerpt) is idiosyncratic, and I don't recommend emulating this aspect 
of my site organization!

I believe some other folks here have actually developed a full-fledged 
biblio tool for tiddlywiki. In particular, if you haven't seen it yet, 
check out Mohammad's Refnotes plugin: https://kookma.github.io/Refnotes/

[tw5] Date format for the Timelines plugin

['MissyLaMotte' via TiddlyWiki]

Hi,

I am trying to get the Timelines plugin to work for my project. The problem 
is, that my novel is set in the time of the early Roman empire, so I need 
my timeline to be able 
to display events from around 40 BC to 20 AD. Is there any way to enter 
dates before the year 0? Also, even for the first 100 years AD it does not 
work. When my datestring starts with two leading zeros, it always 
interprets it as 19.. So when I enter a date like
00090917 (which would be the date of the battle in the Teutoburg forest), 
the timeline wiki renders it as 1909. For the year 0109 it works correctly. 

Are there any solutions for this? If the date format itself does not allow 
the dates to be BC, is there a way to use current dates (like, set 
everything 2000 years in the future) in the date field so that the macro 
knows how to space and order them and then display a text string with the 
correct date from another field in the view instead?

Thanks,
Jutta

[tw5] Tiddlywiki 5.1.23 New Features: Dark mode for Code mirror and Highlight.js

[Mohammad]

In TW 5.1.22 and earlier when you switch to dark palette there is a problem 
that CodeMirror and Highlight.JS do not follow palette colors. In TW 5.1.23 
this problem has gone!

1. Open https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/
2. Change your pallet to something dark like Spartan night or Cupertino, or 
Gruvbox
3. Create a tiddler and see how Codemirror editor looks in dark mode
4. Add some code e.g. css, JS or any language supported by TW-Codemirror 
plugin
5. check how they look

It is good to give feedback here or

in your tiddlywiki. Or could you please direct me to some links that 
explain the process. 
Thanks a ton

[tw5] Managing Book Quotes

[Manish Mohandas]

Dear all
I am relatively new to TiddlyWiki with no knowledge of coding. :)
I have a query on collating the quotes that I take note of. For each book I 
read, I have separate tiddlers named after the book. While I type out a 
relevant quote from each book in the respective tiddler, what is the best 
way to access them all in one place for future reference. I dont find 
adding a tag of 'Quotes' to each tiddler helpful. This just gives me the 
list of all the Book Tiddlers...

Thank you all in advance. 
Regards
Manish

[tw5] "State tabs" question

[David Gifford]

Hi all

When the tabs macro is used, how important is it to change the state tab to 
give it a unique identifier ($:/state/tabs/this vs $:/state/tabs/that)? 
What is at stake? If I have numerous tab macros, but each one in a separate 
tiddler, will they conflict with each other? Is there a reason they need to 
be named? Or is the identifier just to help you distinguish them in the 
sidebar more > systems tab? Or maybe to set the tab that shows as open on 
startup? 

With my "Stroll on steroids" idea, which leans heavily into using tabs as , 
I want to know if I (or anyone else using this system) need(s) to do the 
extra step of giving a unique name to  the $:/state/tab in each tabs macro. 

Thanks in advance for your help!

[tw5] [Request] New here but without parent's tags

[David Gifford]

Hi everyone!

Below is the snippet for my "New tab here" button. It creates a new 
tiddler, with the title of the parent tiddler as the title and the tag of 
the child tiddler. A tabs macro in the parent tiddler displays the children 
tiddlers as tabs.

The only problem I have is that the child tiddlers inherit the tags of the 
parent. I would like for that behavior to stop.

What do I need to delete, add or change for that to happen? I tried various 
things but nothing worked. I appreciate any help I can get. Blessings.

\whitespace trim
\define newHereActions()
<$set name="tags" filter="[] 
[{$:/config/NewTiddler/Tags!!tags}]">
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler" $param=<> 
tags="" tags=<> text="* " caption="" meta="note"/>

\end
\define newHereButton()
<$button actions=<> 
tooltip={{$:/language/Buttons/NewHere/Hint}} 
aria-label={{$:/language/Buttons/NewHere/Caption}} 
class=<>>
<$list filter="[match[yes]]">
{{$:/core/images/folder}}

<$list filter="[match[yes]]">

<$text text={{$:/language/Buttons/NewHere/Caption}}/>



\end

[tw5] Re: Stroll on steroids

[David Gifford]

I updated the file to make it clear that this is a preview of coming 
attractions, not something to use as is. I hope to do this as a project in 
December and January for a January release.

[tw5] Re: My amazing you tube Video.....:)

[stan...@gmail.com]

Ste, I watched your video thanks to Dave Gifford sharing the link.  I was 
particularly impressed with your Engineer's Notebook and the structure 
which you went through pretty fast.  Since TiddlySpot is down, is there 
someplace to take a look at the  Engineer's Notebook TW? I am about to 
start the second edition of my Numerical Analysis book and you have given 
me a great idea for ancillary material.   There is no way a college student 
in Engineering cannot figure out how to navigate a wiki.  

Thanks,
Stan

 Well, it's not that amazing (I say 'Er' an awful lot)...a while ago I 
 put up a quick intro to TiddlyWiki video in the hope of enticing my 
 colleagues to the dark side.

 Despite me putting up many more really interesting (read 'really niche 
 engineering content') videos up for my students the TiddlyWiki video is my 
 most watched one.  It's not going to let me retire on the youtube revenue 
 (only just over 1000 views) but does seem to come up regularly in 
 searches.  This suggests to me that TiddlyWiki visibility on youtube is 
 quite lowas there is no other reason I'd be appearing on searches :D

 So...get screencasting people... let us tell the world! :D

[tw5] Question about markdown folder integration

[LeoLeo123]

Hi guys. I recently found this post which is about loading a folder of .md 
files as tiddlers.
(1) Integration with Obsidian.md : TiddlyWiki5 (reddit.com) 

  
I follow that but even though the .md files are loaded successfully, all 
the .tid, plugins and image files are unable to be loaded.

Here are my settings.
I put the tiddlywiki.files under .\tiddlers
```
{
"directories": [
{
"path": "./TheVault",
"filesRegExp": "^.*\\.md$",
"isTiddlerFile": true,
"fields": {
"title": {"source": "basename"},
"created": {"source": "created"},
"modified": {"source": "modified"},
"type": "text/x-markdown"
}
}
]
}
```
I tried to move the tiddlywiki.files inside the `The Vault` folder and 
change the path to "path": "./",. However, when I load too many .md files 
(more than around 50), I will not be able to open the wiki and error is 
shown.

Is there any way that I can keep my plugins and other tiddlers?
Thank you very much.

Fantastic, that was exactly what I needed. Works like a charm. Thank you
