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.


Best wishes,
Laci

OK, you’ve chosen a goal that will be quite demanding :)

The user interface of TiddlyWiki is built out of wikitext; for example, the 
autocompletion of tags in the editor looks like this:

https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/core/ui/EditTemplate/tags.tid
 


Off the top of my head, this is what would be needed to build an API-based 
autocomplete along the same principles:

* Introduce a new message handler that can retrieve entries from the 
autocomplete API and store them as temporary tiddlers
* Figure out a way to trigger that message whenever the text of an edit control 
changes
* Add a dropdown to the book title field in the library tracker that selects 
the autocomplete tiddlers and searches for the typed text

Best wishes

Jeremy.

2016-07-14 Thread László Zsigmond

Hi!

Thanks for the fast reply.
I would like to extend the functionality of a plugin called Library Tracker
. 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?

2016-07-14 Thread 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.
