jQSorter already has a similar - very quick way of adding an already
existing tiddler.
#Create a tiddler [[tiddler1]]
#in jQSorter click the add item button ()
#Write the title of the newly created tiddler [[tiddler1]]
#It's been added to the list.
#Move it to the preferred location in the list - and/or copy it to
other lists
#Click the saveicon to update the individual tiddlerlist tiddlers
(storylists)

One of the great things about jQSorter is that it is very simple and
intuitive to use - You can create listitems (also non existing
tiddlers) on the fly, thereby arrange ie. slideshows/tiddlerlists with
"shadowtiddlers :)" which again can be shared/copied by drag'n drop to
many other slideshows/tiddlerlists.
When you have created your "headings" and lists - you can start
creating content simply by clicking listitems in the jQSorterlist.

Of course it would be great with even more drag'n drop features - and
an ability to sort dynamically generated lists as well, however I
think the jQSorterPlugin is an essential tool to be compared with ie.
sortabletablePlugin - and ought to be just as simple to install - with
as few dependencies as possible
Let users have the privilege of getting to know jQSorterPlugin in it's
own right, then extend it with even more plugins

Just my 2 cents on the matter..

Hi PMario,

I think the best approach would be to have a dropable-sortable list to
where you could drag a handle next to a tiddlers title ...and thus add
the tiddler to the list.

The culprits however are updates:

1) Remove tiddlers from the sortable list that are no longer found?
2) How would your sorted list be able to get notified of any name-
changes?

Finally, I guess there could be a kind of macro to (re)poulate the
list based on a list of tagged tiddlers. At the beginning, when the
list is empty you would simply fill it with all tiddlers tagged xyz.
If the list is non-empty, you compare all tagged tiddlers to those
already on the list, add any new items at the bottom while asking the
user if he wants to remove all orphans, in case there are any.
(Re)Populating a list could be done by ctrl-dragging just the same
handle but next to a tag-tiddler's title onto the sortable list.

On the other hand, while all of this may look nicer, it doesn't seem
much easier than editing a tiddler's source, does it? ...while there
would also be no benefit of making actually persistent links that
survive name changes.

Tobias.

I put jQsorter into my SideBarTabs:

As it fits perfectly into the tabs - and put a link to a new tiddler
where you get an overview and can arrange tiddlers back and forth from
different stories...

Hi again

I tried to get closer to your original concept by making this site:
http://tiddly.bplaced.net/MainStory (which is a TW with most of the
tiddlers from a-pm)
replacing <>
with
<>
It seems to work - however changes made to ie Story1 via jQSorter in
the MainMenu - isn't updated in the storytiddler "Story1" ... - and I
still get the "no source tiddlers defined for generating columns"
error message..

Sry. I wasn't clear. You will need the code above <> which sets the
txtSelectStoryACTIVESTORY variable.

<>
defines the header. It displayes the text inside the variable.

http://a-pm.tiddlyspot.com/#SelectStoryTest shows how it can work.

For switching to different stories inside mainMenu I made the
SelectStoryMacro [1]. Have a look at the main menu there.

Which should give you a jQsorter inside the mainMenue and selectStory
should make it switchable.

Hi Mario
> Is the "watching" feature essential, or is it a nice to have?
Its *very* nice to have - however I see that the idea of having a
sortable mainmenulist, where you can click the label thereby opening
the tiddler in the storypane, almost eliminates the need for a
preview...

What I'm looking for is a replacement for Paul D's presentationsorter,
which basically does the same thing as your original JQSorterPlugin
- : sorts wikilinks order in a storytiddler.
However I would like If it was possible to select different
presentations (tiddlerlist), one at a time -  in the mainmenu not just
one - as in PD's plugin.
This might present a new problem: The need for a unique tag or
fieldPlugin: If one tiddlerlist (presentation/story) is tagged
"UniqueTag" ie. your case: "MainMenu" then the tag "UniqueTag/
MainMenu" is automatically removed from the tiddlerlist/story/
presentation, that was tagged with "UniqueTag/MainMenu" - thereby
ensuring that only one story/presentation/tiddlerlinkslist is shown in
the MainMenu at a time.
This way it would be possible to work with several presentations in
TiddlySlidy - or a similar TiddlyWiki-based tool for presentations.
However if it's possible to make JQSorter work on <> I see uses for that as well in slideshowsetups
(not based on P. Soares' SlideShowPlugin), where each slide has a
"SomeTag" referring to a specific slidecollection - still I would need
the "UniqueTagPlugin" to put a new slidesList into the MainMenu.
I'm not very keen on having "hidden/custom fields" as a base for a
plugin - as it leaves traces which doesn't easily convert to new
situations - im- export or editing, however the usefullness of such a
plugin would be so great, that such problems seem to be minor
obstacles in comparison..
 - if you intend to develop a plugin which uses custom fields - please
keep on the good work - I'm all eyes and ears :-)

2010-08-01 Thread PMario
some ideas.
What I want to have in the main menu is: <>
So if I tag a tiddler "mainMenu" it is automatically added to the main
menu. I do use this mechanism a lot. The only disadvantage is, that it
returns an alphabetically sorted list.

I will do the following. Enable a xSort plugin, to sort by custom
field value. eg: order.tagName. Create two macros, that can be
activated as bookmarks. 1) dynamically load the jQueryUI stuff. 2)
xSort generates sortable lists and write the sortorder back to the
tiddlers custom field. If everything is sorted, save and reload and
all the additional stuff is gone. Your tw stays small :)

possibilities:
<> .. for the menue
<> .. story 1 ...

At the time, I did this plugin, I was very fascinated about the widget
implementation at jQueryUI demo site. So I couldn't see, that much
easier sorting implementaions would be possible. That's why jQSorter
is much bigger, than it could be.

Is the "watching" feature essential, or is it a nice to have?
