Hi all: I am using TiddlyWiki as a coursebook for a course I will be teaching in November.
I have arranaged the chapters of the coursebook as stories so that all the tiddlers that make up a chapter can be opened as a single unit, however I need advice/ideas on handling some issues. I am using the list function of the openStory macro to produce a list of all the chapters (and presentations) to allow the student to access the chapters. However the pulldown menu that is shown uses the word story rather than section or some other term. To change this to use terms more friendly to the coursebook, I created a tiddler zzLocalSettings tagged with systemConfig with the contents: config.macros.openStory.label = "open: %0"; config.macros.openStory.popuplabel = "section"; config.macros.openStory.selectprompt = "select a section..."; config.macros.openStory.foldprompt = "fold story tiddlers when opening a section"; config.macros.openStory.closeprompt = "close other tiddlers when opening a section"; So this seems to have handled that issue, except that the "add a story..." menu item is still shown. While I can change the text, I would like to totally remove that entry. Does anybody have an idea on how to remove that without doing surgery on the StorySaverPlugin (make future upgrades difficult)? Also I was thinking of having multiple "Stories". It seems that it should be possible to support an optional tag parameter to the openStory and saveStory macros that allows support for alternate story tags (in my particular case "Presentations" and "Chapters"). Even though I don't use it, a similar change to the storyViewer macro in the StoryViewerPlugin would probably also be useful. To allow the student to print off multiple chapters, I thought I could just open chapter 1 clearing all the other open tiddlers. Then I could open Chapter 2 while keeping the other tiddlers (i.e. chapter 1) open and then continue with chapter 3. However Chapter 2 opens at the top of the story column and not at the end. Would it be possible to add a new view option(s) that control where the new story tiddlers gets opened? While I think I can use http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#SinglePageModePlugin to allow the user to select opening of the tiddlers at the bottom of the story column, it would be nice to not have to install it, or at least to be able to configure the settings via the view options menu in openStory. Thanks for any ideas. -- rouilj --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
