[tw] [TW5] A tool to create and import schools (swarms? Groups? whatever) of tiddlers (move multiple tiddlers between wikis easily)

[Jed Carty]

A while ago there was a lot of discussion about making things like 
mini-plugins that are just for easily moving groups of tiddlers from one 
wiki to another. Prompted by Mats questions over here 
 I finally 
got around to making a way to do this.

It has two parts:

First, a purely wkitext tool that lets you give a filter and a name, it 
then packs all of the tiddlers returned by the filter into a school tiddler 
with the given name.

Second, after importing a school into your wiki you use the 
action-import-school widget to take the information contained in the school 
and unpack it into tiddlers.

Some differences between this and plugins:

There is no version control here
All tiddlers are normal tiddlers, there are no shadow tiddlers created
There is no need to reload your wiki after importing a tiddler school

So far I have found one bug that I can't track down. If you try to make a 
school on tiddlywiki.com using either the filter '[tag[Messages]] or 
[tag[Filter Operator]] it gives a too much recursion error. I can't figure 
out why because I haven't run into other filters that give the same error.

The demo site with the tools is here 
.

Let me know if you have any suggestions or find any bugs.

Hi Jed

Interesting, how would you compare the goals/capabilities/format of:

* Tiddler schools
* plugins
* JSON tiddler files

Best wishes

Jeremy
