[tw5] Markdown usage

[László Zsigmond]

Hello,

Please help me out if these are possible somehow:

   - Linking tiddlers from MD?
   - Or if possible even macros in MD?
   - Making part of the TW5 formatted tiddler to be rendered as MD, or in
   MD to render part of it as TW5?
   - Conversion between TW5 and MD?


Thanks,
Laci

Hello,

Removing the ones highlighted above did fix it, thanks for pointing me
here! Do you see more that could cause any trouble?

I have tried out quite some plugins, but the one that I regularly use is
only Markdown I guess.

Re: [tw] Re: Rich text editor

[László Zsigmond]

Thank you!

I would like to be able to see actually the markup not just a have a new
type of text... in some web text editors there is the button to copy from
word which opens a popup window to paste there the text and it will insert
that into the textarea with the right html syntax, for TW it should insert
it with either TW markup or markdown.

All the best,
Laci

[tw] Rich text editor

[László Zsigmond]

Hello,

I was about to copy a text outside of tiddlywiki with rich text into 
tiddlywiki. 
I've read this thread on a rich text editor plugin from 2007: 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywiki/JaXIgqQ_Nlc
Its reception was very good and I would love to see it implemented or 
pointed to the available plugin for TW5. The best would be to have it in 
the core as it is indeed a very useful plugin. I couldnt find an online 
rich text(html) to tw5 convertor. If the support is not fully implemented 
then I'm better of to use the markdown plugin as to markdown syntax I can 
effortlessly convert with the help of an easily found online convertor.


Best regards,
Laci

Hi Jeremy!

Thank you for your nice guidance, have looked into the tags tiddler and got
me convinced that doing this tiddlywiki extension is beyond the efforts I
planed to invest in it, it's not for me :/. For this this project I'll go
with a more familiar set of tools.

Re: [tw] javascript macro for this purpose?

[László Zsigmond]

Hi!

Thanks for the fast reply.
I would like to extend the functionality of a plugin called Library Tracker
<http://inmysocks.tiddlyspot.com/#My%20Plugins>. so to have an autocomplete
dropdown list on titles with the help of the google books api, similar to
this: https://www.librarieshacked.org/tutorials/autocompletewithapi .
This would be the final goal, now I just would like to transform the
api_url when the input box is edited so that in the next step I could do an
ajax request... but thats not for today, I have no idea how to do that in
TiddlyWikki but with some research and the help of the community, with
small steps I hope to get there soon. :)


Thanks,
Laci

[tw] javascript macro for this purpose?

[László Zsigmond]

Hello!

I'm trying to start with my first homebrew javascript snippet/macro that gets 
the value of a tiddler's field and replaces two strings inside it...
I came up with the following not working code that should just return that 
modified string. This script shouldn't run jut once but
each time one input element (inputterm) is edited. Have no idea how to call 
such a function in Tiddlywiki context, for getElements it
would be safer to use ids but I just want to see if my plan is doable in the 
first place.

Help please.

[tw] Re: Library tracker plugin - help extending with an API?

[László Zsigmond]

Have managed to add an api_url and api_on to settings's filed.

Learned that js is not allowed inside a tiddler, as complete newbie I ask, 
how should I procede to do these:

   1. replace inside the api_url inputterm with the more than 3 characters 
   typed input from the title's edit-text and inputtauthor with author 
   edit-text
   2. get item.volumeInfo.authors && item.volumeInfo.title && 
   item.volumeInfo.industryIdentifiers && item.volumeInfo.publishedDate
   3. get an autofill window with labels of the above, if selected insert 
   item.volumeInfo.title to title, and item.volumeInfo.authors to author


for a first step this would be enough :D

Here is complete description of how to do the autocomplete part using 
jquery: https://www.librarieshacked.org/tutorials/autocompletewithapi

Re: [tw] Re: Library tracker plugin - help extending with an API?

[László Zsigmond]

I was referring only to book metadata, entries of the Library tracker
plugin. As I would like to import entries to that plugin's book model it
would take more than just importing a csv line into one tiddler, it has
separate tiddlers with lists of authors, etc., so it's a bit more complex,
I'll just go with writing a python script to do the import.

Haven't signed up for the thread, was thinking it is done automatically, 
but well, now I got your answer, thank you!

You are right, I should have linked it, it is your pluging and I wasn't 
attentive enough to see that last used values are kept on new book edits.

Unique apis that are a pain to work with: would just start out with google 
books api and accept apis that can recieve the same parameters and results 
in a json with the same layout, keys.

First I would like to get my exisiting library get imported, I've read that 
it is cumbersome to import csv into tiddlywiki, better of to convert 
externally the cvs to json and then import it into tiddlywiki.
Do you have any suggestions / descriptions on how to do this import? Like 
there are some ways of transforming csv to json, like to json/keyed 
json/json array/json column array. 
Would you advice to have a separate tiddlywiki for book collections? With 
some thusand books won't ruin the tiddlywiki experience?

[tw] Library tracker plugin - help extending with an API?

[László Zsigmond]

Hello,

For more than a month I was out looking for a way to make a book 
collection. I started with a spreadsheet, went on to develop a book 
collection in evolutility  that 
I have just discovered because of it uses local storage, minimalist setup 
necessities... managed to integrate google books api to it.. But I got 
stuck on with its structure, couldn't get a way to add multiple tags 
dynamically, not from a list. I fired up a Laravel framework to solve this 
problem normally with a web app. But before jumping into coding it popped 
into my mind to give a try and look for a tiddlywiki plugin that does some 
database management thing... and to my supprise I have found the Library 
tracker plugin. Nice catch! :-D

I've never delevoped anything into tiddlywiki, just used it for 2-3 years 
now for information management. Now I would like to customize this Library 
tracker plugin or give hints to its developer so to get a better plugin for 
the TiddlyWiki community.

Maybe its useful to say two lines about how the library tracker works for 
those not familiar with it:

   - books are tiddlers with title of book title, tags of book tags + Book, 
   and with field of author:value, etc.
   - stored json lists: $:/data/BookAuthors, $:/data/BookTags, etc.

My suggestions:

- would be important to have implicitly a language field for books (with 
short codes of en,fr,es, etc.).

- there could be a setting to have preselected options when adding a book 
or just the previously used value: location, language or some other custom 
fields can be the same when introducing all the books from a shelf for 
example.

- For book collections I think it is crucial to have at least one way of 
importing/exporting books for example in csv format. Tags could be stored 
in the form previousColumn,"tag1";"tag2",nextColumn. I could implement this 
import/export functionality through python but thats not of much use for 
tiddlywikiers.

- in the settings could be set an API link input field in which title, 
author and other variables could be placed

- The api link could be implicitly Google Books but I want to make my 
custom api that parses some custom hungarian sites for book titles, 
authors, etc. for better matches.

- when a title is being typed, after the 3rd carachter start sending api 
requests to get autocomplete list dropdown. The api retrieves json items, 
in the list would be 10 matching titles with author and publisher 
displayed. When an item is chosen the author, language, etc json data 
tiddlers should get updated with the new values if they don't exist and 
they should get selected in the add book form.
- if the author or language is selected before typing the title, the 
api searches for matches on the author and language as well



What are your thoughts on it?



Best regards,

Laci

[tw] Re: basic question: list of sub or relevant tags/contents in an expandable way

[László Zsigmond]

Thanks.

So the tiddler's content that is inserted into the sidebar is:
div class='tc-table-of-contents'
toc-selective-expandable 'jobs'
/div
Its tag is $:/tags/SideBar
Its fields are:
caption:{{$:/language/SideBar/Contents/Caption}}
list-after:$:/core/ui/SideBar/Open

One of the tiddlers that are listed is called Linux jobs and its content is:
div class='tc-table-of-contents'
 toc-selective-expandable 'Linux'
 /div
or just
list-links [tag[Linux]]
Its tag is: jobs
It doesn't have any special fields. 

I tried to add list fields with tiddler names but the result was the same, 
the down arrow that should show that Linux jobs are expandable will not 
show up.

Best whishes,
Laci

 Any chance we can peek at your problematic document (or a stripped down

 Would whatever you tried also fail on TiddlyWiki.com?

 Hi László,

 I think you have a slight misunderstanding as to how the toc works.
 It works entirely by tagging.

 So, at your Linux tiddler, open the more dropdown and click new here,
 then create a linux job... et voilà. 

 Whatever the content of the Linux tiddler is quite irrelevant to the toc.

 Best wishes, Tobias.

[tw] basic question: list of sub or relevant tags/contents in an expandable way

[László Zsigmond]

Hello,

I tried to figure this out by my self from 
http://tiddlywiki.com/#TableOfContentsMacro
but I miss something or my TiddlyWiki isn't behaving as supposed to.

I have succesfully added a toc tiddler to my sidebar with all the tiddler 
titles that belongs to a tag.
Truely I would like to have all the tags that are interconnected with that 
tag and a tags list. Maybe if there would exist a category term somewhere 
in TiddlyWiki that would solve it directly.
Anyway, I try to do it this way, the problem I get into is that I would 
like to have that list expandable, and though I use 
toc-selective-expandable 
for the tiddler that
appears in the sidebar, the tiddlers listed will not be exapandable. I 
tried to add to one of the tiddlers there a toc, still no expanding
button there, tried to add the field list to it, still no change.

Help, or help with better workarounds please.


Thanks,
Laci

[tw] Re: Edit tiddlers from my text editor

[László Zsigmond]

Wow, very good. Very good when using Windows. 
Intrested in seeing a linux alternative for it :).

Maybe the browser specific add-on is better to be used at a workstation as 
Listary is only for personal use. True, the pro version isn't expensive and 
at least companies should consider to spend on it, support the work. 
Interesting that Chrome can't have an extension that does this...

As geeks are looking for this kind of functionality and many of the 
TiddlyWiki users are geeks, maybe these infos should be shared on 
TiddlyWiki's getting started tiddler at the 'see also' part.

In the article there is this line:

 edit textareas using an external editor — right click, select, edit

No right click and select is neccessary, by default an edit button appears 
on every focused textarea in the browser, it can be configured though to 
behave otherwise.

[László Zsigmond]

Hi Tobias,

Thanks for the reply. If you get the feeling, I have good news, if you are 
using FireFox you can use It's All Text extension to be able to edit the 
textareas in your editor.
My goal would have been to have a text file as database for TiddlyWiki so 
that I could edit it directly, editing the one div tag per tiddler 
wouldn't be such a pain as editing from the browser - but the above 
mentioned extension solves it. 


Thanks,
Laci

 Hi Laszo,

 I get the feeling you are trying to directly edit a full TiddlyWiki in 
 your text-editor.

 Don't do that, unless you're trying to fix a broken TiddlyWiki.
 Handling the html entities is no fun.

 Better use node.js to handle
 individual tiddlers in plain text in your editor of choice
 and then build your wiki from it.

 However, what would be interesting was a distraction free editor in 
 TiddlyWiki that allows to fullscreen on edit-mode leaving you with a clean 
 ui FocusWriter-style and basic text editing support, e.g. search/replace.

 Best wishes, Tobias.

Anyway, thank you a lot because fom the ExternalizePlugin I got to the 
FireFox plugin It's All Text! which is a brilliant plugin! The textareas 
can be edited from my editor of choice and when I save end exit from it, it 
will insert it back my edited version, well this is just great news for me.
