Re: [tw] Re: Inline Editing of tables

[Craig in Calgary]

Has anyone else experienced an incompatibility between PMario`s 
SyntaxHighlighterPlugin v0.2.1 
(http://syntaxhighlighter.tiddlyspace.com/#SyntaxHighlighterPlugin3) and 
TableCalculator v0.6.9? Specifically, commented code, e.g. /*{{{*/ ... 
/*}}}*/, renders wonky. Something in the code of TableCalculator v0.6.9 
changes how SyntaxHighlighterPlugin renders comments. Due to sort order 
TableCalculator will always load after SyntaxHighlighterPlugin. What to do?

[tw] Re: Plugin throws an error when used on a deferred NestedSlider

[Craig in Calgary]

Whatever,

What I know:
*http://dvdkv2.tiddlyspot.com/ - doesn't quite work - because the two (2) 
calls to the tableFilter macro ([[Table3]] and [[Table Level 2]]) are 
passing in the tiddler name [[Services]] instead of the tiddler [[Table]].
*In my experience http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#NestedSlidersPlugin causes me 
grief when I attempt to use it in conjunction with a function that is 
expecting its' content to be rendered ''before'' the function completes. 
When the rendering is deferred the function has nothing to work with and 
fails. Off the top of my head I can't think of an example but I remember 
spending hours debugging some personal macros that wouldn't work if the 
rendering was deferred.

What I suspect:
*Your plugin needs the content rendered before it can proceed. In its' 
current state deferral isn't an option.

Solution:
*Beats me. My javascript skills are minimal. This forum has many brilliant 
TiddlyWikiers (need I drop names? Eric, Måns, PMario, etc.) any of whom can 
probably rattle off a that's-so-simple-why-didn't-I-think-of-it solution 
before their morning cup of coffee. Me? Not so much so.

I'll be watching this thread for your solution.

Good Luck.

[tw] Re: Calling macro from 1 tiddler and viewing in a table in another tiddler?

[Craig in Calgary]

Ken,

Instead of using fET to loop, could you write some ... to 
accomplish the same thing AND incorporate the code from 
http://wordcountmacro. tiddlyspot.com/#WordCountMacro? For example, 
http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#CollapseTiddlersPlugin uses 
story.forEachTiddler() to identify certain tiddlers. Your script would 
identify which tiddlers should be included in your result set, extract the 
same data you're currently doing with fET, and apply a correctly modified  
{{{createTiddlyText(place,tiddler&&tiddler.text?tiddler.text.match(/\w+/g).length:"0")}}}
 
to get the word count from each included tiddler.

An alternative suggestion: modify the "save tiddler" function to including 
saving the word count of the tiddler to a custom field of the tiddler. Then 
your fET could query that field when needed.

Hope something here helps or inspires help.

[tw] Prevent browser freezing on runaway code

[Craig in Calgary]

When I experiment with code that loops through tiddlers, tags, etc., 
occasionally I (temporarily) create a monster: the browser freezes because 
javascript is running and not likely to finish until the computer runs out 
of memory. I would like to implement a wrapper I can place around test code 
that can be configured to halt the code after a pre-configured amount of 
time or if a pre-configured amount of memory is allocated. Halt after X ms 
would be a sufficient solution. Halt if memory allocation > X MB would be 
gravy.

1. Can such a safety net be coded and successfully implemented?
2. Who among you TW gurus would create such a masterpiece, knowing that 
while you will have my undying praise, the only other reward for your 
efforts will be the satisfaction of knowing you have made a valuable 
contribution to our community.

Thank you to anyone providing suggestions, feedback, and/or solutions.

[tw] Stylesheet load sequence

[Craig in Calgary]

I have a TW that includes MPTW palettes and themes as well as several 
stylesheets in addition to the StyleSheet shadow tiddler, e.g. GrowlStyle, 
TagsTreeStyleSheet, StyleSheetShortcuts. I understand that the sequence of 
code and links to other stylesheets within StyleSheet will dictate what CSS 
is applied TW-wide. But when during the TW load sequence does the CSS in 
MPTWTeal (or any palette) and MPTWStandardTheme (or any theme) get applied? 
My problem is knowing where to make CSS tweaks that will apply last as well 
as removing CSS that is overridden by assignments further down the load 
sequence. With this configuration, where is the best place to make CSS 
tweaks, e.g. h1-h6 font-family assignments? Thanks in advance.

[tw] Re: EditSectionsPlugin + FoldHeadingsPlugin

[Craig in Calgary]

Måns,

Thank you for your suggestion.

I spent several hours working with your code to fashion a suitable 
solution. It works. However my layout doesn't have room for a dedicated 
space for a TOC. I have crafted a tolerable solution using 
FoldHeadingsPlugins and EditTiddlerPlugin and excluding EditSectionsPlugin 
(it is problematic for me). I am settling on having more tiddlers than I 
want but getting to them when embedded in other tiddlers isn't too bad. 
Just below the heading block I floatright an {{{<>>}}} 
which is in the embedded tiddler, not the container tiddler. All my 
tiddlers have a transclusion at the top which takes the tiddler title and 
optionally a description and expand/collapse flag for embedding collapsible 
sections. The transclusion renders the floatright as well as some other 
things. So I can have a container tiddler which contains:
!Heading
<>
!Another Heading
<>
<>
and I ready to go.

Again, thank you for your feedback. Take care. Craig

[tw] Re: EditSectionsPlugin + FoldHeadingsPlugin

[Craig in Calgary]

Put another way: my goal is to be able to expand/collapse headings AND edit 
each heading as a section. I prefer to manage fewer tiddlers so each tends 
to contain a lot of content. I prefer to edit small chunks of content in a 
single tiddler. These preferences are mutually exclusive. I currently use 
NestedSliderPlugin for expand/collapse of large sections of content 
(sometimes inline, sometimes embedded (smaller) tiddlers) but 
EditSectionsPlugin doesn't see any content for a section that is wrapped 
within NestedSliderPlugin. Mystery, conundrum, enigma, etc.

[tw] EditSectionsPlugin + FoldHeadingsPlugin

[Craig in Calgary]

Is there any way to implement both plugins simultaneously? Right now the 
<> clickable region covers the <> "edit..." 
button. The "edit..." button is visible but selecting it only fires the 
<> event. As opposed the the "edit..." link being immediately 
to the right of the heading text, could it be moved to the right of 
"more..." label or to the left of the heading text (with a negative 
margin-left)? Maybe a hack involving embedding in a table could be made to 
work but that certainly wouldn't be elegant. Suggestions? Thanks.

[tw] Documentation for standard TiddlyWiki CSS

[Craig in Calgary]

Is there any documentation available that explains which standard CSS
to modify for standard TW elements? For example; I want to make macro
links in MainMenu look the same as ToolbarCommands links. Another
example; I want the <> link in ToolbarCommands
to look the same on :hover as the closeOthers or closeTiddler macros.

The problem I am trying to solve is that I have integrated several
plugins which create their own shadow stylesheets and I need to figure
out the load order and which UI elements are affected by their CSS.
There are a lot of declarations which supersede each other and I want
to figure out how to manage the mess.

[tw] Cleaning up white space in script-generated content

[Craig in Calgary]

I have several scripts that generate lists of tiddlers. In order for
ordered and unordered lists to render properly there are liberal
instances of "\n". I would like to run the "return" variable through a
function to eliminate the extra vertical white space. Typically, the
end of a nested list has 2 or 3 crlfs when 1 is sufficient. A
javascript loop with a regex query to find all instances of multiple
crlfs preceding an "" and replace that with a single crlf + ""
would clean up my output very nicely. Can a javascript guru slap a
half-dozen lines of code together to point me in the right direction?
Many thanks in advance.

Does tiddlyNotes *have* to sync to the root of Dropbox? Can it be
configured to sync with a sub-directory (whether end-user specified or
application-determined)? I don't like cluttering the root of my
Dropbox.

I maintain multiple TWs because of content and functionality. Being
able to push a tiddler to the TW of my choosing will allow me to
maintain my workflow. Having all tiddlers push to a single TW will
require me to regularly move tiddlers from tiddlyNotes' TW to the TWs
where each belongs.

Can tiddlyNotes sync with a TW of my choice instead of just the blank
default TW? Otherwise I have to open the blank default TW and import
all the tiddlers from my TW into it.

Will the tiddlyNotes TW have any problems with the various plugins,
macros, scripts, and transclusions that populate the Tiddlyverse? As
previously mentioned my various TWs look and behave differently based
on their purpose and content. If I export any one of them into the
blank default TW so I can continue to work with that TW outside
tiddlyNotes as well as within, what might tiddlyNotes do when
attempting to render HTML, Javascript, fET code, transclusions, etc.?

Last question: I burned through the 10 free syncs performing some of
my tests. But I didn't finish experimenting. May I have a reset so I
can finish my evaluation? Thank you for your consideration in this
matter.

Bottom line, tiddlyNotes appears likely to be useful, depending on
your workflow.

Keep up the good work. I look forward to the future enhancements.

[tw] Re: Keyboard shortcut to close a tiddler

Bauwe,

I was aware of this information but that list lacks what I need: a Ctrl
+W or Ctrl+F4 or similar keyboard combination to close a single
tiddler. If executed multiple times it will close any rendered
tiddlers in the reverse order of their being opened. If not tiddlers
are open, nothing will happen.

Yes, Bauwe, that is one approach. Thank you.

But I am hoping to also find some code samples for displaying the name

Unfortunately, colors are too limiting because I am including many TWs

[tw] Differentiating internal tiddlers from external tiddlers loaded by IncludePlugin

[Craig in Calgary]

I use http://tiddlywiki.abego-software.de/#IncludePlugin to load
several "repository" TWs into my master TW. How can I identify the
source of a tiddler so I can know at a glance which are local and
which are external? There are several contexts I would like to apply
this test:
* tiddler lists: where horizontal space is a premium - use an
alternate color and/or font and/or font-style
* tiddler lists: where horizontal space is not a premium - prepend/
append a symbol/icon/text (the name of the source TW)
* ViewTemplate
* EditTemplate
* ToolbarCommands

Solutions ideal, suggestions welcome. Thank you.

[tw] Re: Upgrading TiddlyWiki in FF 6.x ?

[Craig in Calgary]

David,

The issue is within TW v2.6.2 and v2.6.3. The fix is within v2.6.4.
The solution: download an empty v2.6.4. Load it and import all your
TWs' tiddler into it. This is the backwards way of upgrading a TW but
it will work. Once in v2.6.4 you shouldn't have import issues again
(at least not these kinds). BTW, there are several threads here about
this problem and more details instructions in them.

[tw] Re: StorySaverPlugin

[Craig in Calgary]

Yes, sometimes my TW won't let me import from a remote TW. Most of the
time I can solve the problem by downloading the remote TW to a local
drive and opening it from there, The only problem I have with that
workaround solution is that I would like to keep plugins synchronized
with their source TWs. When I load plugins from a local copy the sync
serves no purpose.

If anyone knows of a way to "connect" a plugin that has already been
imported back to its' remote source so that it can be updated when the
remote version is revised, please post. For example, if the only way
to get Eric's StorySaverPlugin to import into my TW is to get it from
a local copy of http://tiddlytools.com, is it possible to "connect" my
copy of StorySaverPlugin back to http://tiddlytools.com/#StorySaverPlugin?
Then if Eric revises StorySaverPlugin I can refresh my copy from his
master.

[tw] Re: Still stuck upgrading my 23 TW 2.6.2 to a newer version.

[Craig in Calgary]

Gilles,

This worked for me for several TWs:
1. Download http://www.tiddlywiki.com/empty.zip (the latest TW version
is in there).
2. Make a copy of empty.html and either place it in the same directory
with the 2.6.2 TW you want to upgrade or give it the same name of the
TW you want to upgrade and place it in a different directory.
3. Load your new empty 2.6.4 TW.
4. Go to the backstage area and select import.
5. Select the 2.6.2 TW you want to have upgraded.
6. Import everything from the 2.6.2 TW into this new 2.6.4 TW.
7. Save your changed TW and reload it.
8. Should work.

This is just the backwards way of upgrading: instead of revising the
core of your 2.6.2 TW you are adding all the non-core content of your
2.6.2 TW into a 2.6.4 core TW.

Also, once your TWs are in 2.6.4 the whole upgrading to future
versions should be resolved and you won't have to jump through these
hoops again. Upgrading issues were addressed as part of the release of
2.6.4.

Good luck.

HSteve,

1. Is the StorySaverPlugin tagged "systemConfig"? It should be.
2. Have you reloaded your TW since installing the plugin? Plugins load
when the TW loads.
3. Select the backstage "button" in the upper-right corner of your TW
to open the backstage area. Select the plugins dropdown. Review the
Manage Plugins table to ensure there were no errors raised when you
loaded your TW.

If none of these help, let us know here.

[tw] Re: Collaboration using Dropbox - looking for investigators

[Craig in Calgary]

Thanks for the reminder. I was a little bummed about the 130+ backup
copies but now that I don't sync those folders my DropboxTW folder is
very manageable.

> I also removed my tw from the shared folder and started experimenting
> with purestore.

Your purestore experiment seems to implement Jeremy's idea of
individual files for each tiddler.

> (my workboard tw where I write on is in another folder not visible for
> others)...

I like the idea that everyone connected to DropboxTW can have one (1)
or more public facing TWs (in the main folder) and then manage their
own content in private subfolders. Where I am getting confused is on
how you would share a tiddler from your private TW? If you want the
content to be publicly accessible would you have to move it into your
public TW (because all tiddler files must be in the same directory as
the TW they belong to)?

In looking around in AlexHoughDropboxTW.html, master.html, and
PMarioDropboxTW.html I got confused about where I should be doing any
editing. I added craig_tagsearch.html (thank you, Tobias Beer, for
your excellent http://tagsearch.tiddlyspot.com TW mod) so I would have
somewhere to throw content that shouldn't step on anyone else's TWs.

I perceive the vision of DropboxTW to be an environment focused on
collaboration. That's fine. My personal interest (currently) is to
leverage Dropbox and TiddlyWiki such that I only keep a single copy of
any plugin there but have all my various TWs loading it as needed.
This environment could certainly accelerate plugin development if two
(2) or more TW rock stars want to collaborate on plugin development.

Between Jeremy's description of a TW hosting tiddlers as files and
loading JIT and Bauwe's purestore experiments, we might be close to
seeing all the TWs currently in DropboxTW reduced in size to their
unique tiddlers. For the sake of organizational structure I hope it
becomes possible to manage these tiddler files into subdirectories:
plugins, pluginInfo/documentation, owner of personal tiddlers, etc.
This would reduce the clutter of the main directory and might help
address the segregation of public and private tiddlers.

BTW, I have no proprietary content in craig_tagsearch.html. Anyone is
welcome to edit as they please.

It dawns on me that in many Google Groups threads here someone will
raise a question or have an issue that is better demonstrated than
described. They are encouraged to create a minimal test case TW.
Couldn't we formalize a DropboxTW "repository" where those MTCs could
be posted consistently?

[tw] Re: Collaboration using Dropbox - looking for investigators

[Craig in Calgary]

Alex,

I am interested in using Dropbox to host my private TWs and being able
to split out the common tiddlers/plugins for reuse across all TWs
would be very good.

I'm game to help test sharing public tiddlers for the sake of helping
the community. An idea I find intriguing is the possibility of the TW
community using Dropbox as a public repository for common tiddlers. If
our TWs all pull their plugins from the same pool then the
possibilities get real interesting.

My programming skills are likely too weak to significantly impact the
development of this TiddlyDropBoxWiki idea but I have a lot of
experience with UI design, User Experience, Quality Control, and Beta
Testing. At that stage I would be willing to dive in and lend a hand.

As I sit here thinking about the possibilities I realize there are
many technical issues that will need to be solved to insure a positive
experience for end users. To get the ball rolling, so to speak, the
first tricky bit of magic I would like to see is a TW bootstrap
loader, i.e. the TWCore loads quickly and gives the end user a UI
while the lion's share of code and content loads asynchronously (or
possibly JIT). I'm envisioning something beyond just a "loading,
please wait..." splash screen.

The second feature that comes to mind would be the ability to search
across all public content whether loaded or not. I would accept a
performance trade-off in exchange for knowing the search is deep.

I'll stop daydreaming now. I think you are on to something, Alex, and
I hope we can get some buy in from TW Rock Stars (you know who you
are!) to move this idea forward.

[tw] Customizing TiddlyWiki tables

[Craig in Calgary]

Is it possible to define a CSS class that can be applied to a table

* sets explicit widths for each column?

2. Is there a way to have a single UI element (in SiteSubtitle) that
toggles between "collapse all" and "expand all"? Something like
http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#ToggleFullScreen? Having two (2) buttons
is a drag.
3. Is there a way to modify the label of the button ("collapse all" =
"↔" and "expand all" = "⇔") so I can make either the two (2) buttons
smaller or the single button smaller (see Question #2)? Can this
modification be applied to CollapseTiddlersPlugin as a zzConfig (or
SystemSettings) tweak rather than actually changing the tiddler? I
would prefer to not get out of sync with the distributed version.

Thank you.

[tw] Re: Controlling spacing of lists

[Craig in Calgary]

If anyone is interested, I take a different approach to eliminating
the unwanted whitespace between various rendered elements. I have a
transclusion tiddler, crlf, which contains: .

Anywhere I need to "pull up" the content to close a gap I place
<> in the tiddler. Using AliasPlugin (http://
www.tiddlytools.com/#AliasPlugin) I could abbreviate that to <>
or whatever.

For example:

* in my faq template tiddler it pulls the heading to the top of the
rendered tiddler:
/%
Description: Describe this faq
%/<>
!Heading

* it reduces the extra white space NestedSlidersPlugin (http://
www.tiddlytools.com/#NestedSlidersPlugin)  puts at the bottom of the
expanded content:
+++{{borderedslider{[Missing Content »]...
Content, content, content
<>===

* on a line by itself following a table
* between any content and a heading
* between a paragraph and an ordered or unordered list
* etc.

I know it's a hack but it works well enough for my purposes.

I am open to suggestions for a better solution. Pure CSS would be
ideal but I would rather throw a <> where I need it than
to remember to {{suck_it_up_princess{...}}} every time I need.

Google Reader cannot digest an RSS from Gmail (go figure, that sounds
more like Micro$oft than Google). I cannot install *anything* on the
client machine except truly portable applications, e.g. http://portableapps.com,
which recently added 
http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/feed_notifier_portable
to its stable. I configured Feed Notifier on my personal laptop to
monitor my Gmail and it works fine. I can copy Feed Notifier to the
client computer or run it from a USB stick. It catches other feeds but
will not catch Gmail. I believe IT has finely really got Gmail locked
down internally.

This morning I confirmed that my TiddlySpot TWs can be monitored by
Feed Notifier on my personal laptop (both those that are password-
protected and those that are not). When I get to the client today I
will confirm the same on the client system. If the client computer
will let TiddlySpot index.xml feeds through then the only thing I need
is a way to embed an RSS reader *into* a TiddlySpot TW such that it
automatically creates or updates one (1) or more tiddlers and saves
the changes. Theoretically this should solve my problem. I'm hoping
someone has an idea about how to create a Gmail equivalent to Eric
Shulman's http://tiddlytools.com/#TwitterTabs.

[tw] Pull GMail into a TiddlyWiki

[Craig in Calgary]

I have six (6) more months at a client site that has locked down
access to Gmail. I cannot access http://mail.google.com or even an RSS
of my mail. Is it possible to configure a TiddlySpot or TiddlySpace TW
that could receive my Gmail email or at least display an RSS feed with
the email titles so I know what's waiting for me? The only non-TW
solution I can think of is to forward all my Gmail to the email
account my client has provided. I do not want to do this. But if a TW
can man-in-the-middle me then I can stay informed about my world
throughout the day. If a TW can digest something and generate tiddlers
or update a tiddler then I could even just monitor the TWs' RSS.

[tw] Re: Using TiddlyWiki for quizing

[Craig in Calgary]

Mario,

I need to preface some points before diving into your comments.

*EVERYTHING* I am brainstorming or proposing is up for discussion,
dismissal, or implementation. I am not married to any ideas. So please
take everything with a grain of salt and feel free to suggest
alternatives, simplifications, enhancements, etc.

Taxonomy:
* For now let's call this theoretical TW: TiddlyTutorial (TT for
short)
* user (author): the person who will take a blank TT and populate it
with tutorial content (at the least) and quiz questions
* student: the person who will "run" a configured TT
* tutorial content: I am being intentionally vague on this point for
now because the possibilities for how this content would be presented
to the student are numerous and rich: stories, slideshows (possibly
including implementing LightBox or FancyBox for image display), a
single long-scrolling full-screen display of concatenated tiddler
content that displays like a book, etc.

TT will contain tiddler types identifiable by a unique tag or custom
field:
* tiddlers that provide instruction on how to use TT out-of-the-box -
optionally additional tiddlers that provide instruction on how to
modify TT to suit a specific context
* tiddlers that constitute the tutorial content, i.e. prose, images,
links to external resources, etc.
* tiddlers that constitute quiz questions - either multiple questions
in a tiddler managed through sections or slices (not my preference) or
one (1) question per tiddler (my preference) - I hope to use a titling
scheme that would differentiate this type of tiddler in the basic TW
timelines, i.e. at a glance it is obvious by the title that a tiddler
of of type X and maintain the true title within the tiddler body
* tiddlers that constitute results of tests taken, i.e. report cards
(one tiddler per test taken)
* tiddlers for the various templates: tutorial content, quiz questions
* all the usual behind-the-scenes tiddlers, e.g. plugins, macros

Sequencing of each tiddler type could be accomplished through
TagglyTagging or a similar mechanism. Because I want to put a pubic-
facing ready-for-use TW solution in the wild, I want to avoid as much
of the geeky maintenance and overhead we of this Community take for
granted:
* augment the generic GettingStarted tiddler with a wizard that
prompts for Site Title, Subtitle, URL, etc.
* magic numbers, e.g. question #3 of 5: groups and lists should
sequence based on user-selectable options, not specific numeric values
the user has to manage - as an alternative to obvious sort sequences,
e.g. created, title, we could offer a UI for  and  as
tiddler list dropdowns filtered on the tiddler tutorial content tag
* making up new tags in order to get the thing to work right: out of
the box TT will support a basic paradigm that non-savvy users can use
"hitting the ground running"

I would like to provide wizards or similar user editing UI paradigms
to prevent the user from *having* to edit raw tiddlers. I hope to
shield the casual user from having to know wiki markup and TW syntax
for lists, links, tagging, etc. Maybe some marriage of
DataTiddlerPlugin could form the framework for this UI. Worse case
(because coding HTML tires me) would be an editing UI based on HTML,
InlineJavaScript, fET, etc. aka Morris Gray -like.

Now let's get to the good stuff...

> 1) It wasn't intended to shuffle lists but it should be not that hard
> to get it done :)

Excellent!

> 2) Knowing the correct order is the implemented behaviour, at the
> moment.

I envision one (1) question per tiddler created from a
newQuestionTypeTiddler template (QuestionType being something like
TrueFalse, MultiChoice (one-of-many and several-from-many),
FillInTheBlank (using drag-n-drop, not a textbox input), etc. or an
abbreviation for each type) with prompts for:
* Title
* Question prose with a marker to insert wherever a fill-in-the-blank
answer should go (eventually with full wiki markup support, including
embedded images)
* Answer prompt: prose
* Answer prompt: value - T/F, fill-in-the-blank, input for link to
image
* Another answer to input? Y/N (would not appear for TrueFalse
question types)
* a dropdown list of "Refer to..." tiddlers to direct the student back
to the course material
* Weight or value: I unsure right now about how this might work. If
the user doesn't need the "value" of a quiz to match 100% exactly then
they could give each quiz question a "weight" appropriate to its'
difficulty. The sum of quiz questions (for a story) equals the total
value of the score. If the user needs to add up to 100% then some
mechanism would need to be implemented to track how much weight has
been assigned and how much remains, i.e. count down from 100%. This
dovetails with my preference for not requiring the user to maintain
"magic" numbers, e.g. 10 questions @ weight=10/ea. = 100%.

choices for what should go in the blank. The student would drag-n-drop

[tw] Re: Using TiddlyWiki for quizing

[Craig in Calgary]

Digging through old notes on TiddlyWikis I came across Mario Pietsch's
http://apm-plugins.tiddlyspot.com/#XListPlugin. This plugin supports
list items' drag-n-drop. Does anyone (Mario?) know if it could be
configured to:
1. Randomize a list of items each time the tiddler (question) was
rendered.
2. Know what the correct order of the list should be.
3. Give feedback when the user has correctly rearranged the list.

If not, does anyone have any ideas for a similar solution?

Between Paulo's plugin providing true/false and multiple choice
support, Måns' generous documenting of MemorizeablePlugin (in Morris
Gray's http://twhelp.tiddlyspot.com/#MemorizablePlugin, authored by
Craig D. Muth), and the possibility of Mario's plugin being used for
sequencing, I'm beginning to gather a nice assortment of question
types. I'm staring intently at the trees. Is there something in the
forest that anyone else sees that I am overlooking?

Ambitious Technical Communicator that I am, I would like to wrap all
this up in a nice neat TW package, possibly with:
* linking question tiddlers back to the content tiddler(s) or
section(s)/slice(s) they are based on
* support for some kind of slideshow presentation paradigm, i.e. read/
digest the source content then take the test
* optional popup hints for incorrect answers
* input templates for each question type (to idiot-proof content
creation as much as possible)
* cumulative and total success/fail tracking and scoring
* and, if I should be so ambitious, a mechanism for report generation,
e.g. publish test results to html or email

[tw] Using TiddlyWiki for quizing

[Craig in Calgary]

As a sideways follow-up to [[Quiz, Questionaires, interactive forms|
http://groups.google.com/group/tiddlywiki/t/b6b47a53838b0d05/bed65f9c4457ce04]],
Paulo Soares's Quiz-related tiddlers and plugin are now only available
at http://www.math.ist.utl.pt/~psoares/addons_2.4.html. His
http://www.math.ist.utl.pt/~psoares/addons.html TW is current for
http://www.math.ist.utl.pt/~psoares/addons.html#SlideShowPlugin -
related goodies but some other plugins have been deprecated.

My question, however, is whether anyone has developed any other quiz-
focused TiddlyWiki resources, e.g. macro(s), plugin(s). I know that
several rock stars in our community have done TW development for
instructional contexts, e.g. tracking students and courses. Has
anything resembling support for question types like true/false or

[tw] MatchingTagsPlugin + StoryViewerPlugin

[Craig in Calgary]

Is it possible to create a single UI element that will output the
MatchingTagsPlugin panels' compound boolean tag expression as the
input for StoryViewerPlugin, e.g. <>? Both the panel UI and the story UI elements would be
visible. Whatever the user defines in the MatchingTagsPlugin panel
would be pushed into < and <> would
automatically refresh. The user can bypass MatchTagsPlugin and just
select a storyname.

If that can be hacked together, can I further complicate the UI with
options for:
*sort options (list of fieldnames, ideally in a combobox so a custom
field can be entered) for either or both plugins based on whichever is
most appropriate, including an ascending/descending switch
*saving this configuration by creating a story tiddler if
StorySaverPlugin is present

If there is a way to "push" values into StoryViewerPlugin from
MatchingTagsPlugin, would it be possible to "push" values in from fET?
This way I can create some complex filtering scenarios and reuse them.

Thank you for any suggestions.

[tw] Where am I?

[Craig in Calgary]

As a technical communicator I am aware of the value of content reuse
through "chunking"; breaking down a body of information into
manageable parts that can stand alone or combined and recombined into
useful larger units. TiddlyWiki is an excellent medium for this
approach to information management. Tiddlers are the containers for
the smallest content blocks and renderers for combined content.

Editing is the challenge. Here is a hypothetical example of my nested
tiddler approach:
[[MainMenu]] contains:
*<>
*<>
[[WikiMarkup]] contains:
*<>
*<>
[[Lists]] contains:
*<>
*<>
*<>
*<>

When [[MainMenu]] renders I see all the notes in all the nested
tiddler quite nicely. But how to I edit [[Ordered]] or [[WikiMarkup]]
when I'm looking at [[MainMenu]]?

The solution I currently tolerate is to put {{{<>}}} at the top of any tiddlers that hold "chunks" of
content. [[tiddlerHeader]] contains: {{{<> <>}}}. The problem is that
{{{<>}}} always opens the highest parent tiddler in the
chain, [[MainMenu]] in my example. I have tried various derivatives of
{{{<>}}} but always get
an error.

1. Does anyone have a better approach to chunking and editing? Keep in
mind that I want to open a tiddler for editing directly, not open it
to view first. If that were the case then [[ToolbarCommands]] in
[[ViewTemplate]] would suffice. Nested [[ViewTemplate]]s would be
great, e.g. [[ToolbarCommands]] or a simplified version at the start
of each nested tiddler, but I can't imagine how to implement that.

2. How can I pass the title of the tiddler I am editing into
{{{<>}}}  or {{{<>}}}? In addition to this
scenario, I have several other contexts where I would prefer to reuse
some kind of code that would evaluate to the name of the current
tiddler so I do not have to specify the tiddler name. For example:

/%
|''Description:''|blah, blah, blah|
|''Benefits:''|<>|
%/
/%
!Highlights
*stuff
!end
%/

In this example I want to only have to edit the Description line and
the hidden Highlights section, not the Benefits line.

Any help and/or brainstorming would be appreciated.

[tw] Re: Wiki markup that expects to be the first character(s) of a line

[Craig in Calgary]

> http://hoster.peermore.com/recipes/TeamWork/tiddlers.wiki#Transclusio...

I had reviewed that tiddler before. Thank you.

Yes, Eric's explanation consolidated several assumptions into facts
quite nicely. Our community is richly blessed by his participation.

I will reconcile myself to accept those markup elements that must be
the first character(s) of a line. But I'm still hoping to find/create
a shorthand for implementing those same markup elements within a table
cell. Here's what I have deduced thus far:
*Table markup doesn't like CRLFs that are not at the end of a row.
*Table cells can digest ... such as  and  as long
as there aren't any CRLFs in the code (making the content difficult to
read while editing).
*Table cells can digest fET which can include !, *, #, etc. The trick
is that the content must be fET-able.
*Table cells can digest transclusions. Therefore slicing within a
tiddler or from other tiddlers can be done.

Simple use case: I want bullet points in a cell. What I envision is a
transclusion, e.g. <>, or an
alias, e.g. <>, or even a CSS class
({{bullet{...Content...}}} that I can reuse throughout my TW. But
because an ... needs a ... or a ... I
haven't figured out how to accomplish my bullet with pure CSS. I have
modified version of AliasPlugin with definitions like {{{<\>\n"}}>>}}},
{{{<\>"}}>>}}}, and
{{{<\>==="}}
>>}}} but no luck with bullet list items. I'm just saying.

[tw] Re: Automatic hyperlinking upon tiddler title creation/change?

[Craig in Calgary]

Don't create a plugin to always load and attempt the search and
replace whenever new tiddlers are created or tiddler titles are
changed. Create a transclusion tiddler with a command button to
execute on demand:
#create a list of all tiddler titles
#search through the body of each tiddler looking for matches from the
tiddler title list
#if the match isn't already converted, convert it.

I am certain the process would be slow and get progressively slower as
the tiddler count grew. Also, your transclusion would need to support
(probably through tags) excluding certain tiddler titles from being
included in the tiddler title list and certain tiddlers' contents from
having the search and replace applied to them.

After writing this much I decided to look around a little.
http://tiddlytools.com/#QuickSearchPopup looks like most of your
search work is already done. It just needs to be extended to handle
the replace part. You can learn more about how to search TiddlyWikis
by looking at http://tiddlytools.com/#SearchOptionsPlugin and
http://tiddlytools.com/#SearchOptionsPluginInfo and
http://tiddlytools.com/#TextAreaPlugin.

[tw] Re: Question/Help: Continuing numbering across tiddlers

[Craig in Calgary]

Create a transclusion tiddler (a processing engine) which takes a
tiddler name as its parameter and reads through each line in the
specified tiddler to determine which lines to process (render as
output) and which lines to ignore. For the processable lines (i.e.
numbered-list items) do one of the following:
*if its not a tiddler name, output as is
*if its a tiddler name, recurse, i.e. call the renderer tiddler with
the tiddler name as the parameter
Since the output will be a single tiddler, you should achieve the
numbering sequence you want. Because it can handle nested tiddlers,
there should be no reasonable limit to how large the list could grow
to. But be careful about creating an infinite loop!

That would be version 1. For version 2 you could pass a tag instead of
a tiddler name to "seed the engine". All tiddlers with the specified
tag would be processed (the order of which will require v2.5). For
version 3 you could support processing line items other than numbered
lists, e.g. bullet lists, URLs. This version would require more
support for output formatting.

[tw] Re: Opening a new browser tab

[Craig in Calgary]

Tobias,

Well done. Thank you for taking the idea further. Now, where I would
like to go with this but don't have the programming chops myself
is ...

to make a TiddlyWiki UI, e.g. within [[MainMenu]], where the user can
enter search terms, press , and possibly several new tabs,
windows, or tiddlers will open containing search results. I'm assuming
Google here but Bing, Yahoo, or other search engines could possibly be
supported.

!!UI
*textbox
*command button
*slider to hide additional options

!!Configuration options
#Open search results in:
**new browser tab
**new browser window
**new tiddler
#A group of checkboxes, one per site, e.g. groups.google.com/group/
TiddlyWiki, groups.google.com/group/TiddlyWikiDev, groups.google.com/
group/TiddlyWeb. Site choices would be seeded by:
**a section within the transcluded tiddler
**a list (delimited) in another tiddler
**or a section from all tiddlers tagged "search" (similar to how the
"systemServer" tag works for ImportTiddlers

Depending on how the site choices are presented, the user could
specify their preferred domain, e.g. com, ca, jp, de, with each site
choice or through an additional configuration option. This would be
Google-dependent. I don't believe other search engines deal with
domains the same way.

I've got more ideas for elaborating this (e.g. integrating
TiddlyWiki's internal search to find hits before going off to the web)
but for now this is complex enough. Whaddya think?

[tw] Re: Eric's Bookmark technique not compliant with TW 2.6.1 ?

[Craig in Calgary]

Point of clarification for anyone who initially scratched their head
as I did. Tobias' tiddler name is "Bookmark" and his example works for
tiddlers tagged "Bookmark", not "bookmark". If you copy/paste Tobias'
code as is and your "systemServer bookmark" tiddlers don't render as
expected, either edit all references to "bookmark" and change them to
"Bookmark" or modify
{{{tid&&tid.tags.contains("Bookmark")?'Bookmark##OUT':'';}} with:}}}
to read {{{tid&&tid.tags.contains("bookmark")?'Bookmark##OUT':'';}}
with:}}}.

May I chime in with a request?

One way I would like to implement this is to have the option of
viewing the TiddlyWikis of my systemServer tiddlers. What code/
transclusion (preferred) or plugin(s) (if no other options) could be
used to have the iFrame render within a slider or folded heading or
whatever so that the systemServer tiddlers require no editing to
behave as normal, i.e. work with ImportTiddlers, but the URL can be
opened in an iFrame? The default behavior should be to not render the
link until requested, e.g. select a slider, unfold a heading.

I have had no success tinkering with Tobias' Bookmark tiddler to use a
slider or Eric's FoldHeadingsPlugin. It seems like some kind of
transclusion switch similar to ToggleRightSidebar or ToggleLeftSidebar
could resolve my visible/not visible requirement. However, I don't
think that would solve the "don't load the URL until I ask to 'see'
the URL" requirement.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Alex,

You remember correctly. I am a technical communicator. Most of my work
has been in written form but I have experience with rich media
presentation as well.

In my experience, typography hasn't been as important as style. Every
context requires an appropriate style guide, e.g. CMS, APA, MLA. For
the most part Doug's observations parallel my experience: conformity
to a style guide is sufficient, we'll take whatever typography the
printer/screen provides. So, no, I don't have any suggestions
regarding typography.

[tw] Re: quotes: curly and not; spaces: double or single. Typography for Lawyers

[Craig in Calgary]

Alex,

It is most regrettable that I didn't see your last post before
completing my research. For anyone interested I will post it here
anyway.

Alex,

First, I'm confused by apparently contradictory statements:

> *no curly quotes
>
> It appears that
> *TW removes double spaces from texts cut and pasted from Word

The group has requested no curly quotes but you're asking for curly
quotes. I copied some curly-quoted text from Word into a tiddler and
it remained curly-quoted. When copied back into Word it still
maintained the curly quotes, i.e. the round-trip didn't convert curly
quotes ({{{‘}}} = HEX {{{%91}}}, {{{’}}} = HEX {{{%92}}}, {{{“}}} =
HEX {{{%93}}}, and {{{”}}} = HEX {{{%94}}}) into straight quotes.

I believe the confusion comes from the last sentence in the Typography
for Lawyers article, "Before you exclaim “that won’t do anything!”,
try it. When Word or WP replaces each quote mark, it also performs the
straight-to-curly conversion." This "conversion" is a configuration
option (AutoCorrect Options) which can be changed. In Word 2007,
select the Office Button (upper left corner), select the Word Options
command button next to the Exit Word command button, select the
Proofing topic (third down the left-side list), select the AutoCorrect
Options button in the AutoCorrect options section, then select the
AutoFormat As You Type tab. In the Replace as you type section there
is a checkbox for "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes". Because this
option is selected by default, people assume that Word will always do
this for them. With this option selected, when you type, single and
double straight quotes are converted to curly quotes. If you disable
(unselect) the checkbox, whatever kind of single or double quote you
type will not be changed to its curly equivalent. What the author of
the article didn't test is what Word does with ''pasted'' text.
Whether this option is selected or not, Word does ''not'' convert
pasted text. If you perform a search and replace (Ctrl+H) and type the
same single or double quote character into both the Find what combo
box and the Replace with combo box, Word will convert the straight
quotes to curly quotes for you.

Regarding "double space after paragraphs", the trick here is to modify
the paragraph style in both TiddlyWiki and Word.

In TiddlyWiki: From [[Suppress blank lines (crlf) in rendered tiddler
content|http://groups.google.com/group/tiddlywiki/t/ef902f93b917345/
a4f4c079492e3ce8]] I obtained 
http://a-pm-experimental.tiddlyspot.com/#LineBreakHack.
This plugin will remove all the extra crlfs from tiddler content
before rendering the tiddler in the TiddlyWiki. I do not know how to
modify the code to wikify all linebreaks into two (2) 's (which
would render your tiddler content with a double-space between
paragraphs). However, the presence of this plugin ''will'' allow your
editors to place an extra crlf in their content for readability during
editing. If you implement this plugin, I would suggest that when you
want to port a tiddler's content to Word, select the text to copy into
the clipboard from the rendered tiddler, not from the tiddler in edit
mode. That way no extra crlfs will be introduced into Word.

In Word:
#Create a paragraph Style (mine is named SpaceAfterParagraph).
#Select the Format command button and select Paragraph from the
dropdown.
#On the Indents and Spacing tab of the Paragraph dialog:
**Set Line spacing to Single
**Set Spacing After to 24 pt. Assuming your default font size is 12
pt, 24 pt represents a double space.
#Save your changes to the Paragraph dialog and the new paragraph
Style.
#Apply this style to all appropriate paragraphs.

Following is a macro I created that:
*pastes the contents of the clipboard into the Word document
*performs a search and replace on single quotes throughout the entire
document (quotes which are curly will remain so)
*performs a search and replace on double quotes throughout the entire
document (quotes which are curly will remain so)
*performs a search on the Normal paragraph style (which is what should
be coming from the clipboard from your tiddler) throughout the entire
document and replaces it with my SpaceAfterParagraph style.

Code (beware of Google Groups introducing crlf's that could break the
code):

[tw] Re: Converting HTML to TWese

[Craig in Calgary]

If {{{}}} is the same for every generated HTML page, I believe this
reference can still go into [[MarkupPreHead]]. You will just need to
use InlineJavaScript to call whatever function(s) are present in
slides.js at the appropriate place in your tiddler HTML. The benefit
of this approach is that the code is loaded once, with the TW, then
instantly (in memory) accessible whenever needed. Loading the js only
"when needed" is efficient when it is not needed often. But if the
function(s) in slides.js are referenced frequently, loading "when
needed" will cost you load time.

[tw] Re: SaveTiddler Request

[Craig in Calgary]

Skye,

If I'm wrong I hope someone will correct me.

What you describe is more like a database with discreet record
locking. A TWs behaves similarly to a database in some ways but
tiddler-locking is not its normal behavior.

Because the TW is a single file, the entire TW is written during a
save operation. The only way to save parts of a TW would be to break
it into multiple files and only save the core and whatever tiddlers
have been modified (dirty).

Take a look at Jack Parke's ArchivePlugin (http://
jackparke.googlepages.com/jtw.html#ArchivePlugin). I use it to
externalize large tiddlers and tidders common across multiple TWs
(like your post about converting HTML pages to tiddlers and my
suggestion to externalize common CSS to leverage content reuse and
insure consistency among the TWs sharing the tiddlers). Image a TW
with two (2) content tiddlers: the entire text of "War and Peace" in
one and the text "Hello world" in the other. Editing either then
saving the TW take about the same amount of time to save. Because "War
and Peace" is very large, the TW would be very large: saving and
loading would be time consuming. Now image using ArchivePlugin to
externalize those two (2) tiddlers. Loading the TW (three files: the
core plus two tiddlers) will take almost exactly the same amount of
time as it would for the TW with the tiddlers internal (everything
loads at start-up). But saving would be very quick when editing the
"Hello world" tiddler or adding new, reasonably-sized tiddlers,
because the save process won't include the "War and Peace" tiddler if
it hasn't changed.

One caveat, though. Multiple TWs can "own" the same tiddler via
ArchivePlugin. But without some extra system-level file management,
e.g. version control software or some other file-locking mechanism,
when two (2) TWs are opened which contain a common tiddler and that
common tiddler is modified and saved by one TW, the other TW will not
be aware of the changes. Without file locking, the second TW will be
able to overwrite the modifications made by the first TW. Proceed with
extreme caution. What might mitigate the potential collisions would be
a messaging system within the TWs, kind of like RSS, that would
broadcast "changes have taken place here", listen for "have any
changes taken place anywhere" messages, and offer to refresh revised
tiddlers. But now we're wading into the deep end of the server-side TW
pool, where much interesting developing is currently underway.

Hope this doesn't muddy the water.

[tw] Re: Converting HTML to TWese

[Craig in Calgary]

Skye,

> the  contains definitions of meta names
> etc which I figure I don´t need...

The meta data (e.g. Description, Keywords, Author, Copyright) is
useful for Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Google will find that
stuff in a TW. According to http://tiddlywiki.com/#CustomMarkup,
[[MarkupPreHead]] is the best place to put this meta data in a TW. I
would keep the meta data. It doesn't impact performance at all or size
by very much but it will aid in content discoverability.

>   media="projection" id="slideProj" />

There are two (2) approaches to handling external CSS files. As Fred
suggests, cut/paste the content into [[StyleSheet]] or another tiddler
and reference it in [[StyleSheet]]. This will eliminate your external
files. However, if there is any chance that the numerous HTML files
you want to port to TW might land in multiple TWs, I would suggest
keeping the CSS in those external files and move the 
references into the [[MarkupPreHead]] of each TiddlyWiki that needs
them. Downside: multiple, external files. Upside: content reuse. Any
change in the CSS will propagated throughout the TWs without needing
modification. This is the extensible solution and a wise choice from
the information architecture perspective.

> the main body of the original HTML page (between the  tags) I
> guess I simply have them in the tiddler and in this case wrap them in
>  tags..

One potential problem with all the  content is its use of
's, 's, and iframes. When you lump everything
in the  of an HTML file into a single 
within a single tiddler, the content might render wonky in TW. A
possible solution is to modify the CSS to accommodate the narrower
width of [[ViewTemplate]]. Another possibility is to use a grep tool
or some regex (regular expression) tool to strip out or modify those
wrappers so the resulting rendering in TW is acceptable. If all the
HTML files you have to port are similar in CSS, this regex process
could be automated to work on many files at once and/or be repeated on
demand. I know because data migration is one of my specialties.

Another potential problem with all the  content is its
use of internal and external links. Resolving them to internal
tiddlers or tiddlers of other TWs would require more grep/regex magic.

I might sound pessimistic but, in fact, I believe your project is very
doable and intriguing to boot, regardless of the temporary challenges.

Hope this helps.

2. I haven't found any TWs that set "chkgenerateanrssfeed: true" so

[Craig in Calgary]

Mark,

I like your idea. It dovetails nicely with this project as well as
another I'm working on. The content to be learned should be "chunked"
into discreet units small enough to not take too long to learn and
test on but large enough to encapsulate a complete concept or idea.

Testing in-context with real-time feedback is an excellent idea. Your
idea of directing the student through various tiddlers is similar to
Michael Mahemoff's http://tiddlywiki.mahemoff.com/QuizPlugin.html.
That approach is fine but in a large TW the tiddler count could become
hard to manage. I lean more toward Paulo Soares'
http://www.math.ist.utl.pt/~psoares/addons_2.4.html#QuizzerPlugin to
provide the test questions and meaningful feedback within the same
tiddler as the content. The UI for test questions is more verbose but
the control is finer, which I prefer. I haven't poured over the code
but, assuming all the displayable content can be wikified, then both
the questions and answers can direct to additional tiddlers or
external links.

Another application of Paulo Soares' 
http://www.math.ist.utl.pt/~psoares/addons_2.4.html#QuizzerPlugin
is to provide questions that direct the student down a path, i.e.
Continue (move to next tiddler in story) or Review (return to
beginning of this tiddler or story). Of course, simple links will
probably work just as well...

Thank you for the feedback, Mark.

[tw] HTML & JavaScript tutorials and training using TiddlyWiki

[Craig in Calgary]

Because TiddlyWiki is self-contained, it is an ideal platform for
entry-level teaching of HTML and JavaScript, first with inline
examples then eventually with the creation of plugins. I am hoping to
find (in descending order of preference):
1. A TiddlyWiki filled with examples of inline HTML and JavaScript
dedicated to teaching those subjects - the examples are explained in-
context
2. A TiddlyWiki filled with a variety of inline HTML and JavaScript
that I can use as a springboard for teaching those subjects - I will
have to explain the examples in-context
3. Tutorial-type content on the subjects of HTML and JavaScript which
I can legally (copyright-wise) port into a TiddlyWiki dedicated to
being a teaching aid on those subjects - I will create the examples
and explanations in-context

If either of these TiddlyWikis or something like what I seek already
exists, I would like to use it/them to teach those subjects in a one-
on-one setting. If any of the content I seek exists and I can put it
into a TiddlyWiki dedicated to teaching on those subjects, I will
publish the TiddlyWiki.

If anyone has any other suggestions of how I might proceed on these
lines, I would appreciate your feedback. I don't assume my approach is
best so I am open to any and all suggestions. Thank you.
