Dear Dave,

After using it for a bout 2+ weeks, I have found myself frequently
switching between the tabbed view (which is the default) and the
sequential view.

The way to switch between the two right now is to first open the
tiddler, check/uncheck the selection box, then close the tiddler.
This is somewhat convoluted for frequent use.

It would be nice to have a button or a checkbox that directly toggles
the mode.  I would prefer to have it in the SiteSubtitle so that it is
just a mouse click to switch to the other mode.

If it is simple enough to do it, and if you guide me through it, I
would be helped and will integrate into the version I am using right
now.

Thanks!

Hi Shankar

I like the idea. I think it will be a good feature to add. Right now I
am swamped, and that is something I would have to look into, so if you
are patient I will get to it sometime next week, Lord willing. Until
then, maybe someone with a little more time than I have could help
walk you thru it. Blessings,

[tw] Re: Update to NoteStorm

2009-09-25 Thread Eric Shulman

 @Eric - I will update the plugins you mentioned, sometime this
 weekend, but the fact is that I got my plugins from your site lat week
 when I created NoteStorm. I know this because I had no idea how to use
 them and so was looking at your documentation and trying to figure
 them out. Maybe the versions on your site are the wrong ones?

The version of AttachFilePlugin in your document is 3.6.0
(2008-07-21), but the current version is 4.0.0 (2009-06-04). Thus, the
latest revision has been available for import for over 3 months.  I'm
not sure where you imported the plugins from, but you couldn't have
gotten the old 3.6.0 version from the main TiddlyTools document.

 Also, I haven't posted and announced NoteStorm officially, just am
 asking people for their feedback. It is not even linked yet at
 giffmex.org.

Even though you haven't 'gone gold' with your document, you are
*already* distributing it, simply by asking folks to try it for
feedback.  If I can view a TW document online, I can also import
tiddlers directly from that document online, or save it locally and
use it later as a source of plugins... and, unlike server-based
content, making fixes/updates to the posted pages can't do anything
about errors/older revisions that have already been copied.

Further, because many people don't rush to update their plugins each
time there is a posted revision, the older plugins continue to be used
**and copied** for quite some time.  As a result, I often have to
respond to spurious reports of bugs that have already been
investigated and fixed in the current revision of the plugin.
Gradually, the old plugins are replaced as people *do* update their
documents (or run into the bug), but the extra work it creates takes
away from other things I could be doing.  By ensuring that the
installed TiddlyTools plugins in *your* document up-to-date, it wil
save *me* a lot of extra work down the road.

much thanks,
-e

[tw] Re: Update to NoteStorm

2009-09-25 Thread Eric Shulman

 ... the ShowImage thing...

That 'thing' is called a 'transclusion'... like an inline script (or a
plugin-defined macro), transclusions can be used generate program-
driven output, embedded in specific tiddler content.

Transclusions are invoked by using the
   tiddler TiddlerName with: param param param ...
syntax.  The 'param' values are automatically inserted in place of any
'substitution markers' ($1 through $9) that are embedded in the
transcluded content.  This allows you to use the transclusion as if it
was a macro function: passing in parameter values and generating
enhanced output in response.

Some transclusions are simple substitutions, allowing you to use an
abbreviated syntax to render pre-formatted blocks of content, like
this:
   tiddler ShowQuotation with: [[...quote...]] [[author]]

where ShowQuotation contains:
   $2 wrote:
   {{{
   $1
   }}}

Transclusions can do much more than simply insert a few values into a
pre-defined format.  By using a combination of 'hidden sections' and
some cleverly written 'evaluated parameters' invoked from the
tiddler macro, it is possible to build some complex programmed
behaviors into a transcluded tiddler.

However, while macros and inline scripts can use virtually any
javascript coded logic you can imagine, transclusions only contain
standard TW syntax, without relying upon installation of any
supporting plugins (i.e., InlineJavascriptPlugin).  Although this
limits their abilities somewhat, there are still a wide variety of
programmatically-generated output and/or behaviors that they can
produce.

In fact, when possible, I have been converting many of my previously
written TiddlyTools inline scripts into 'transclusions', in order to
completely eliminate their dependence on InlineJavascriptPlugin.  By
using only TW native syntax, it allows these former scripts to work
properly and consistently, regardless of whether they are installed in
an empty TW document or one that has been highly customized with lots
of plugins.

For the current listing of 'transclusions' available on TiddlyTools,
see:

[tw] Re: Update to NoteStorm

2009-09-23 Thread Eric Shulman

Hi Dave,

I just noticed that NoteStorm is using older versions of
AttachFilePlugin and AttachFilePluginFormatters.  About 3 months ago I
re-wrote the 'storage format' code for attachment tiddlers.  Instead
of using a plugin-defined syntax for identifying the url, path/file
and data embedded in the attachment, the new format uses only native
TW section syntax to create addressable parts within the tiddler.

This has several advantages, not the least of which is that the
section syntax takes less overhead and is much easier to read and
edit.  It also allows you to directly transclude the information
stored in the sections of the attachment tiddler, without needing
AttachFilePluginFormatters to extract the information.  For example,
if you wanted to use encoded image data stored in an attachment as a
background texture for your page, you could write something like this
in [[StyleSheet]]:
   body { background-image:url([[SomeAttachedImage##data]]) }

...and, to embed the encoded image into tiddler content, without using
the ...Formatters, plugins, you can use this little tiddler:
   http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#ShowImage

Although you can't be expected to update your document each time any
plugin has been tweaked just a little bit, as a general principle, if
you are creating a document intended for re-distribution, you should
make a habit of installing the latest plugin updates before posting
and announcing any major release, so that you don't spread old code
around.

enjoy,

note: the new code still recognizes and support use of attachments

with that format.  Nonetheless, I recommend re-attaching your images
in order to generate tiddlers with the new format.

 6. Removed someone's statcounter from the Markuppostbody

 For those of you who haven't seen it yet, NoteStorm is basically the
 successor to No-Brainer Notes, and the realization of what I was
 originally shooting for with NBN: a TiddlyWiki adaptation that lets
 you add topics to a treeview index with one click, then lets you add
 subtopics and notes with one click as well, so that as you take notes
 they are automatically added to the correct place in a hierarchical
 index in the MainMenu. NoteStorm has the Quickedit package viewable in
 edit mode, and fontsizeplugin in the topmenu. There is a slideshow
 tutorial I made just for fun, too. It's under 800kb, too. Get it 
 here:http://giffmex.org/experiments/NoteStorm.html

 My original motivation was simply to toy around with Treeview for No-
 Brainer Notes to see if I liked it. My original concept for NBN was to
 have a treeview menu, because I like the treeviews in Libronix and in
 pdfs menus. But I didn't know how to do it at the time, and did what I
 could with clunky arrows.

 Now that TreeviewPlugin has been around a while I thought I would give
 it a try. I like a number of aspects of Morris Gray's TWT-Treeview
 executive TW, and I thought I would try making a simplified NBN
 version of that. But then I stumbled on a way to streamline the
 indexing process and bypass the annoying refresh button I had on NBN.
 Then Mans from Denmark gave me further input, making it even easier to
 index topics. The ball began rolling and now It's so much better than
 No-Brainer Notes that I decided to give it a new name.

 If you are trying to get newbies interested in TiddlyWiki, I'm
 guessing NoteStorm would be the way. I've tried to make it as simple
 and uncluttered as possible. I have been playing with it and am
 finding it an extremely efficient way to organize my reading notes and
 my to-do list. I hope it is useful to many of you, too. I still

Hi Dave

This one should work: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1064531/NoteStormMod%231.html
I have also downloaded your presentation and translated it to Danish.

I hope it's allright? -
You can see it on my *very* experimental playground here:
http://notebrise2.tiddlyspot.com/#SlideShow
It's not meant to be published as it is  - As I said: it's only a
playground - and that particular TW has a lot of unneccesary plugins
and mods ...
(The fact is that everytime I stumble upon a great and simple TW, I
get inpired to start from scratch and I start to play with it - can't
help it...)

Later, when it's more or less bugfree I would like to make NoteStorm
available for my students and colleagues in Danish - and use your
presentation (as is - but translated), if you let me.
Ofcourse the screenshots will be replaced with Danish versions as well
(when I get to it)... -
A  name for a Danish variant could be NoteBrise - (NoteBreeze) as not
to conflict with the original... (and opens up for making simple/
respectfull mods - I hope?)
I was thinking of something like what I've done here:
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1064531/NoteStormMod%231.html - translated

You have some neat features there. Feedback:

1. The Home and Refresh buttons don't work on the copy I downloaded.
I'm using Firefox on Windows Vista.

2. The popup thing is a cool idea that I hadn't seen before. Seems
like it is geared for your specific use, though. I'm not sure yet as
to how or why I would incorporate it. I like big areas to add my notes
to, and the little popup cramps my writing style. But I will be
thinking about it, because it is a neat feature. As it is, the 'New
note' button in NoteStorm is superfluous for me, since I take notes
from the top down (from topic to subtopic to note). But there are
those occasions where you want to write a note down and don't want to
have to think through at the moment what categories it belongs to. And
there are people who just prefer to work from bottom to top, I guess.

3. In your note popup you should clearly label the tag window. I
thought it was for the tiddler title and I added a title that turned
out to be tags.

4. As for using NoteStorm and the presentation in Danish, go for it!
NoteStorm, like all my other adaptations, is a free tool meant to be
downloaded, used and adapted as needed. I have a Spanish version
available, too, though it needs the changes I made last night.

5. Almost forgot to mention: 'See all' on your note popup looks like a
button to see more stuff, but when you click on it, the whole popup
disappears, which is the opposite of what I expected to happen. Might
want to rethink how you want that part to work, and label accordingly.

Anyway, great job. Blessings to you,

Dave Gifford

Hi Dave

Thank you for the feedback and for sharing!
I have replaced the NestedSlider with a tuduSlider and labeled the
tagwindow: Tags: Now the slider works in the NewNotePopup.
The Home-script works for me (My browsers are Google Chrome, FireFox 3
and IE 7 on XpPro) - I don't know what to change in the script to make
it work i FF (maybe it's 3.5?)  on Vista.

I have removed the refreshscript - as I discovered that tagging a
Topic closed seems to override the cookie plugin anyway...
I might re-think the NewNotePopup to open directly in the sidebar -
then you could fx. hide it away (with the Sidebarpanel), not loosing
the undisciplined note you are working on - still beeing able to
copy/paste text - or click on content... The popup closes as soon as
you click beside it - it's a bit dangerous..

When I started using TW it was NBN which caught my attention - and it
appealed to me because it had such a simple yet focused functionality/
purpose which was also reflected in its design.
I like the fact that NS has the same type of appearance.

Hello Dave,

Congratulations on the job well-done!

I have a question for you: is it possible to customize this so that
the tiddlers open up on the same page instead of opening up each
tiddler in a separate tab?  If it is possible to do that
customization, could you give me some pointers on how to go about it.

Thanks.

Cheers; 'best,

Yes of course that is possible. And easy. All you have to do is delete
the TiddlersBarPlugin tiddler, then refresh your browser
