[tw] Re: Entering dates in TW5

[Dylan Kinnett]

There are some provisions in HTML5 for this sort of thing. So, for example, 
I have a field called send_date and if I use HTML5's type attribute on the 
element, the browser (Chrome for example) will render a date-selector. The 
value is stored as something like 2013-12-01

<$edit-text field="send_date" tag="input" type="date">

There are other input types for date and time 
available, 
besides "date".

For an example of what I want to see... I'm working on a TW5 setup I call 
"Bestrew" You can see it at http://nocategories.net/tiddlywiki/bestrew.html

If you look at the "Index" tiddler, you'll see I have some dropdowns. 
They're kinda buggy and complex at the moment. I'm looking for an 
alternative. 

They're complex because each dropdown relies on a whole set of system 
tiddlers in order to work. Your filter with yes, maybe, no for example 
seems more simple. Or, does your example also rely on the presence of a 
system tiddler for each of those options?

They're buggy because, well try one and you'll see... opening one of them 
opens all of them, which isn't ideal.

[tw] [TW5] Linking to Specific Tiddlers?

[Dylan Kinnett]

Apologies if this is already explained but I couldn't find it. I'd like to 
be able to create links to a specific Tiddler from outside the Tiddlywiki. 
For example, here in the group, for reference to parts I have questions 
about, or in blog posts, etc.. How is that done? If the Tiddler is not open 
by default, will the link be able to open that Tiddler and show it? I tried 
appending #TiddlerName to the end of the URL, but it didn't seem to work.

It does make sense to have it as a plugin if it's going to add so much, but 
I for one would like to vote for it. My TiddlyWiki5 application is taking 
on some very spreadsheet-like qualities and I suppose others might benefit 
from such functionality as well.

[tw] Re: [TW5] TiddlyWiki Application For Submission Tracking

[Dylan Kinnett]

I've published another update to "Bestrew," my TiddlyWiki5 application for 
manuscript submissions tracking. This update brings it up to the latest 
Tiddlywiki Alpha, version 5.0.1, with the ribbon icon at the top so you can 
see which version it's running.

A demo is online at http://nocategories.net/tiddlywiki/bestrew.html
The github project for it is http://github.com/dylan-k/bestrew/

some new features:

   - *dropdown menus* to fill in some custom fields other than 'tag'
   - *"to do list"* now with "add new task" button and sort by modified
   - *tabbed view* to quickly present three tables side-by-side.

experimental features:

   - include *dropdowns within tables?* buggy. trying it out anyway.
   - experimenting with an *"edit other tiddler" button*, available via the 
   button widget's new param 
values
   .

Re: [tw] how to create a dropdown field in TW5 based on the contents of another tiddler?

[Dylan Kinnett]

What he means about white-space is that, as you can see in my Bestrew
example, there sometimes can't be any white-space around the tags, or else
they won't work. That's a bug that Jeremy is working on, and it's also why,
in my original example, all the code is mashed up together in one line.
Ordinarily, there would be more white-space, to make it more easy for us
humans to read.

Re: [tw] how to create a dropdown field in TW5 based on the contents of another tiddler?

[Dylan Kinnett]

Josh,

I'm interested in your project as well so let me try to explain how/what 
I've learned to make this example.

The classes that I borrowed for my table were already a part of the 
HTML/CSSstructure of TiddlyWiki5. I found them when I looked at the "info" view 
for 
a Tiddler, and inspected the markup that makes the table that appears 
there. Since I'm unsure yet how to add custom CSS, I was happy to see that 
there were already some classes in place to style my tables in a way that 
works out for me. Here's a more carefully formatted example. As you can see 
here, there are really only 4 classes at work here. One is for the table, 
one for each row, and within a row: one for cells on the left, and one for 
cells on the right. So far as I can tell, these classes have nothing to do 
with the behavior of TiddlyWiki data, etc. They are strictly for 
presentational/design purposes. For example the class .tw-view-field-tablegives 
the table a width of 100%. Your table will work just fine without the 
use of any of these classes at all. If you want new styles, you can make 
new classes and style them with CSS, although as I said I haven't yet tried 
that.

Here's a cleaner example of what I'm doing in the the SUBMISSION tiddler:


 
   
 Left Cell
 Right Cell

[tw] [TW5] Transcluding Edit Buttons/Links

[Dylan Kinnett]

For the TW5 application I'm putting 
together,I'd like to have edit 
buttons or links appear in a couple of different 
contexts, but I'm unsure how to work.


*First, when the tiddlers are included within a tabs set.* For example, I 
have a Tiddler named DevNotes that contains the following:

<>

In this example, the ToDo Tiddler contains an edit button, like so:

<$button message="tw-edit-tiddler" param="<>>">Edit This 
List

The button works just fine when the ToDo Tiddler is viewed normally, but 
when the Tiddler is included within DevNotes, the button allows me to edit 
DevNotes, but what I intended was to edit ToDo instead.

*Second, when the tiddlers are listed. *For example, I have a Tiddler 
called List-Works. It uses a <$list> to build a table that I can use to 
edit many tiddlers' fields, but it may also be useful to provide a 
link/button that goes off to the edit screen for that tiddler, in case the 
user needs to do more writing, etc. Is there an equivalent to <$link 
to={{!!title}}> that would do this? Would it work when transcluded as 
mentioned above?

Thanks in advance, and I hope my question makes sense! Let me know if it 
doesn't.

The discussion in the hangout video was helpful for me to understand how

take a crack at building my own, now.

I am still curious about the possibility of a "combo box" as discussed in

requested?

When I did that, it didn't seem to be working properly. Saving changes 
never worked.
I ended up downloading and running the node.js scripts to build my own

So, if nobody else has any troubles using the file at

Re: [tw] how to create a dropdown field in TW5 based on the contents of another tiddler?

[Dylan Kinnett]

Unfortunately, I'm unable to attend the hangouts due to scheduling conflict 
but I am definitely interested in this idea.

For my application, I have "submissions" which relate to "works" and to 
"venues".  A dropdown I would use would show, for example, all the names of 
"works" currently entered. That alone would be useful, but additionally, if 
possible, it would be very helpful to present the user with a 
ComboBox. 
The "combo" part would allow for both the creation of a new works entry, 
along with the insertion of its name in the related field in the submission 
entry.

I like having it all in one table, and a single row for each item, but I 
run into some issues when I do it that way. Either one row becomes too wide

hard to tell one item apart from the next, when its all one table. I

I cobbled my tables together somewhat manually and I would say that if I 
knew of a faster/easier way, it might have gone faster. The HTML table I 
borrowed was already styled for TW5 (not the class values in the HTML 
markup). I copied it from the HTML used to present fields metadata in the 
"get info" view. I cleaned out the contents of the table and wrapped it in 
some TiddlyTags to make it display my own custom fields. Here's a cleaner 
example of the markup I used. In this example, I'm getting all the tiddlers 
tagged "submission" and then building out a table to list each of those 
tiddlers' custom fields:  

<$list filter="[!has[draft.of]sort[title]tag[submissions]!is[system]]">
 
 
 
 Work Submitted
 
 <$edit field="sub_work" type="select">
 
 Venue Sent
 
 <$edit field="sub_venue">
 
 
 
 Status
 
 <$edit field="sub_status">
 
 blank
 blank
 
 
 Send Date
 
 <$edit field="send_date">
 
 Reply Date
 
 <$edit field="reply_date">
 
 
 
 
 





note: with the current version of TW5, you have to take out all the 
linebreaks before this will work properly. In SublimeText  you can just 
select the code and do command(or control)+J to "join" all the lines up 
before pasting it into your Tiddler.

Re: [tw] [TW5] TiddlyWiki Application For Submission Tracking

[Dylan Kinnett]

Josh,

I'm glad you like what we've been tinkering with for the Submission
Tracking application. It's still a work in progress but I think it's coming
along nicely!

Here's what I can offer by way of response to your questions. I'm sure
others will have more to add, though.

1.  The date fields I'm using for Bestrew are build using the HTML5 date
input. The HTML5 date input
fieldis specific about
the format it uses: RFC
3339 full-date , but you
may be able to devise a javascript-based workaround for that?

2. I actually haven't figured out the best way to increase submission
numbers or counts just yet. For example, I'd love to show something like
"submission count" to show how many times a submission has been associated
with any venues. For a manuscript, I'd like to show the total number of
times it has been associated with any submissions. For now, I'm actually
just typing those in manually, so I am also interested in the answer to
your question.

Re: [tw] [TW5] Doing Math and Comparisons

[Dylan Kinnett]

Yes I think those two proposals are enough to keep me going. I'll try the
first approach you mentioned, in the upcoming days.

To the filters you proposed for allowing comparisons, I would only suggest
the addition of a "not equals" syntax.

As for comparing dates, that example widget looks like it would be useful.

I did some searching online, and I don't know how relevant this is but I
found a discussion on stack overflow   that
mentions a small javascript
utilityfor comparing
dates in several ways.

Re: [tw] TW5 and attachments

[Dylan Kinnett]

One way you could do it would be to share a directory structure, in
addition to just sharing the Tiddlywiki file. For example, if you put the
tiddlywiki inside a "wiki" folder, and then, inside that you had a "files"
folder where the wiki points to for its file URLS, then by sharing the
"wiki" folder and all its contents, you could share everything. Of course,
this wouldn't help with file size, but it would help to keep the wiki's
size lower and would help with speed. If those hyperlinks were written as
relative links, not absolute links, then they should continue working even
after the whole set has moved to another machine?

[tw] [TW5] Doing Math and Comparisons

[Dylan Kinnett]

This may be completely from outer space, especially for an Alpha, but I was 
curious:

Is it possible, or would it make sense for it to become possible, to do any 
kind of math or comparison via the List Widget's filter abilities or some 
other method(s)? Here are a couple of use cases I can think of, from the 
project I'm working on. If any of these things are better done via other 
methods, I'm curious to learn them.

1. list all tiddlers who have a field value that is equal to one of the 
field values within the current tiddler.

2. if a tiddler has two fields that are dates, can those two dates be 
compared to each other? In my case, specifically, I'm interested in 
counting the number of days between the two dates (or between one of the 
dates and the current date).

For me it would be .txt, .docx, and .pdf files.

For me, I'm content to store them in a nearby local directory and just have 
TW5 point to them via relative hyperlinks or something like that. Would 
that work well enough to cut down on the file size issues?

I've chosen to start the titles with "$:/skeletons/" to help keep things 
organized and it seems to be working well now. Thank you so much.

The change of titles does lead to another question I posted earlier about

Bob,

This is off to a good start and I'm especially fond of the "close others"

[tw] Re: [TW5] Inline Editing of fields

[Dylan Kinnett]

I've been able to have a great deal of luck making inline editable fields, 
by making use of the EditTextWidget.
I'm still having some of the troubles you're describing, when it comes to 
editing the title, but with other custom fields it seems to work well.
For example, if a tiddler has a field like pub_date then you can do the 
following in the body of the tiddler

<$edit-text field="pub_date" type="date" tag="input">

then, the body will display an input to edit that field (in compatible 
browsers with a date selector built into the input tag)

I've created three "skeleton" tiddlers: skeleton-venue, skeleton-work and 
skeleton-submission .

Each of those has all the fields I would like for subsequent tiddlers to 
have, for each of those 3 types. 

To distinguish "skeletons" from ordinary tiddlers, I tagged each of these 
with a "skeleton" tag. This allows me, for example, to exclude the skeleton 
tiddlers from appearing in the tables that allow me to view/edit each type 
of tiddler.

... but is a tag the right way to do this? Now, whenever the skeleton is 
cloned, I have to remove that tag. Might I use a System Tiddler or Shadow 
Tiddler instead? Or, is there a way to tell the tw-new-tiddler command not 
to use the "skeleton" tag?

Re: [tw] [TW5] TiddlyWiki Application For Submission Tracking

[Dylan Kinnett]

I'm trying to use <$edit-text> within a list that outputs a table of 
editable values. It works wonderfully, except for when I try to edit the 
titles of the tiddlers. If I set <$edit-text field="title" /> then as soon 
as I add even one character to the title, an additional tiddler is created. 
Is it possible to edit the titles in this way or should I create an 
additional/redundant field for title?

Re: [tw] [TW5] TiddlyWiki Application For Submission Tracking

[Dylan Kinnett]

Thanks for your reply Jeremy, particularly the list-enabled HTML table. It 
really helped me to get started. I made some good progress today, I think. 
It seems to be coming along nicely.

I learned from David's example and have posted my TiddlyWiki online to make 
it easier to see the work in progress. 
http://nocategories.net/tiddlywiki/bestrew.html

I have also started a Github project, where this file is located at 
https://github.com/dylan-k/bestrew/tree/master/tiddlywiki

I do have some new questions:

1. I can't seem to get the type="date" attribute of $edit to work. The HTML 
input tag that is generated retains its "text" value for the type 
attribute, despite the setting. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?

2. I was able to create a table that both displays and edits values from 
existing entries' fields. Very exciting!  Add New Item" button would be 
great here (to add a new tiddler to the set that is listed), but is it 
possible?

3. I wasn't able to figure out how to add a separate "new tiddler" button 
for each type of tiddler you want the user to create. Is the functionality 
for that available yet?

4. is it possible to create a boolean or checkbox input for editing a field 
value?

Thanks again,

Dylan

[tw] [TW5] Documentation

(this is carried over from my earlier thread, because it's tangental to 
that thread)

So far I've been able to learn quite a bit from the documentation currently 
available at http://five.tiddlywiki.com/ although I think it will be better 
for newbies like myself once there has been some time to develop the 
documentation a bit. One other source I saw was tiddlywiki.org which is 
very robust and user-friendly, with clear examples. I see that's a 
community wiki. Are there plans to do a community wiki for version five? If 
so, I'm happy to help create the material however I can. 

A documentation style I'm used to, and which might add some value if used 
for TW5, is the one used by the WordPress function reference. Here, each of 
the "special tags" that you can use with your installation is explained 
with:

   - a plain text description of the tag, with particular regard for 
   contexts when the tag is or is not able to be used.
   - a (default) usage example
   - a list of paramaters/attributes, explained
   - before/after example(s) to show common usages and their expected 
   results
   - recent changes to the tag's behavior, if any
   - related tags

If you're not familiar with that model, here's a fairly ordinary 
example: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_tags

Of course, it's a lot of work to document so much, but by coming up with a 
clear structure early on, it can be easier for others to fill in the rest 
over time. Again, I'm happy to help however I can.

[tw] [TW5] EditTextWidget vs. EditWidget?

[Dylan Kinnett]

I have two questions about these similar widgets:

1. What's the difference between EditTextWidget and EditWidget, aside from 
the variables that each takes? When would you use one vs. the other?

2. I can't seem to get the widgets to appear, more than once per page. For 
example, I have the following bit of code:

> <$edit field="work_id" type="number">
> <$edit field="work_title" type="text">
> <$edit field="work_status" type="text">
> <$edit field="pub_date" type="date">
> <$edit field="work_status" type="text">

test text here 

 but the only thing that appears is this:

> 
>
 
incidentally that "test text here" doesn't appear either, nor does anything 
that appears after my attempt to use multiple <$edit> tags. I tried it 
using <$EditTextWidget> as well, but I got the same apparently erroneous 
result.

Is this a bug I should report, or am I doing something incorrectly?

[tw] [TW5] TiddlyWiki Application For Submission Tracking

[Dylan Kinnett]

For some time now I've been looking for a 
good way to build a tool I can use to keep track of written 
manuscripts, venues for publication, submissions to those venues and so on. 
This weekend I discovered TiddlyWiki5, and it seems like a very good way to 
get this done. As I set this up, I'm likely to have some questions. Is it 
alright to ask them here?


   1. *Documentation* - With the latest version of TiddlyWiki being in 
   Alpha, I want to be sure that I'm reading useful help material. Are 
   websites like Tiddler Toddler not applicable to the new version? If not, 
   where are the best sources for introductions, etc.?
   2. *Custom fields *- How can I control the entry form for a new tiddler? 
   I see "add a new field" which seems to work, but can I create an entry 
   template with specified fields every time?Can those entry fields include 
   a dropdown of specified values? I'd like to create, I think, three of these 
   custom forms.
   3. *Table View *- is it possible to build a table that displays all of 
   the tiddlers created via the method described above? I think I'd like to 
   create three of these as well.


Thanks, anyone, for any advice or assistance that you can give. I should 
add, for whatever it may be worth, that I'm very skilled with HTML, XML and 
CSS; I'm less skilled with Javascript, but I'm starting to learn it.
