[Zim-wiki] modify toolbar (add formatting buttons)

2015-01-12 Thread Martin Vegter
Hello,

I would like to add some formatting buttons to the toolbox. At the
moment, there are only the text formatting buttons, i.e.:

  Strong/Emphasis/Mark/Strike

I find myself using "Bullet List" very often.

Is there any way for me to add the "bullet List" button to the toolbar?

thanks,
Martin

[Zim-wiki] "Home" button and the "home" page

2015-01-06 Thread Martin Vegter
hello again,

when I press the "home" icon in the toolbar, a new empty page "Home" is
created (I have deleted "Home" previously, because it does not fit in my
hierarchy).

What exactly is the "Home" page meant to be used for ?
Lets say, I am using zim to organize my todo list. There is no use for a
"home" page. My top level page is called "todo". But when I delete the
"home" page, it gets created every time I (accidentally) click on home.

Is there any way to redefine the home icon, so that I get to my top
level page, i.e. "todo", instead of the non-existing "home" ?

Also, is there any way to change which icon appear in the toolbar, on a
per-user basis (i.e. not globally by modifying
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/zim/gui/__init__.py)


regards,
Martin

[Zim-wiki] change link color (when using dark theme)

2015-01-05 Thread Martin Vegter
hello,

I am using Zim on my dark-themed Desktop and I would like to change the
default link color (#f8) into something more suitable

I have modified /usr/share/zim/style.conf as follows, but the changes
have no effect

[Tag link]
foreground = #0c76ff
#foreground = blue

Can somebody please advise how to change the link color to #0c76ff ?

many thanks,

Martin

[Zim-wiki] purpose of web server in zim

2015-01-03 Thread Martin Vegter
Hello,

I am starting to use Zim as my personal wiki. I have chosen Zim after a
long and painful selection process, because Zim fit best my idea of a
personal wiki, and it seemed to be lightweight and minimalistic.

Now when I am getting to know Zim better, I am a bit
surprised/disapointed that Zim comes with a build-in webserver.

I know that the webserver is not running by default. But the sole
existence of the webserver makes me question the underlying philosophy
of zim development.

A personal wiki is by definition personal, not public. There are plenty
of collaborative, web-server based wikis for shared content editing.

I see a dividing line between a personal wiki and public wiki. Both have
their applications and uses, but should be kept separate.

I find it alarming that there is a button in the menu, which when
clicked, publishes my personal wiki on 0.0.0.0:8080. It is unlikely that
I would click it by mistake, and even then, I still have 8080 blocked by
firewall. But nevertheless there is something in me that does not like
this idea even in theory.

I would like to kindly suggest to re-evaluate the decision of whether it
is a good idea to integrate a webserver into Zim.

In the meantime, what would be the best way for me to disable the
webserver on my machine?

remove zim/gui/server.py and delete the following line from
zim/gui/__init__.py ?
('show_server_gui', None, _('Start _Web Server'), '', '', True), # T:
Menu item


I hope you appreciate my feedback

regards,
Martin Vegter

When I follow your instructions, I get a dialog window:

  "Configure an application to open files of type "text/plain""

But I cannot edit the template.
But I was able to edit the template manually, by editing the file with
my text editor:

  .local/share/zim/templates/wiki/Default.txt

thanks for pointing me to the right direction

Martin

[Zim-wiki] disable automatic creation date under under the title

2015-01-03 Thread Martin Vegter
Hello,

I am just starting with zim, and I am wondering why the creation date is
being added automatically when I create a page, as in:

  My new page
  Created Saturday 03 January 2015

is there a way to disable the automatic date entirely?

For my purpose (personal wiki) the creation date is irrelevant, so I
would prefer to get rid of it, if possible.

many thanks,
Martin
