I'm in the major undertaking of organizing my notes for my Dungeons and Dragons campaign. So far, I've mostly been using TiddlyWiki as is, but there've been some frustrating roadblocks, and I'm wondering if the wiki is customizable to alleviate some of that frustration.
I understand that the original intention of TiddlyWiki is to have everything just as a 'Tiddle,' with the entire thing as one website, and transitions between the different 'posts' are accomplished through javascript. However, I frequently find myself wishing that it worked like a typical website, where one would have separate webpages, and subpages. An additional clarification: each time I say "page", I'm referring specifically to anything that would be able to preserve a series of tiddles, call it a 'page', a 'group', a 'bundle', 'folder', whichever you prefer. To better illustrate, let me provide an example: - In the world that these players are in, is called "Barovia." - In 'Barovia', there is a town called 'Vallaki.' - In 'Vallaki', there is a building called 'The Blue Water Inn.' - In 'The Blue Water Inn,' there are many rooms that one could explore. What I would like to is have 'Barovia' have a page, 'Vallaki' has a page, 'Blue Water Inn' has a page, and then on each of these pages there's a series of 'Tiddles.' So, the Barovia page will have a bunch of Tiddles, and when I click one of them, it gets rid of all of the other tiddles, and goes to the 'Vallaki' page, which has a series of tiddles. When I click on the 'Blue Water Inn' tiddle, inside the Vallaki page, it gets rid of *all *of the 'general Vallaki' tiddles, and takes me to just the tiddles for 'Blue Water Inn.' I imagine the framework would look something like mywebsite.com/barovia/vallaki/blue-water-inn or something similar. It would be nice to have separate pages because I could also have 'tiddles' with the same name. So rather than having to distinguish the 'Blue Water Inn Taproom' from the 'Blood of the Vine Taproom' by titling them BWI Taproom and BotV Taproom respectively, they could be at different addresses, like so: barovia/vallaki/blue-water-inn#Taproom vs barovia/bar-village/blood-on-vine#Taproom "But Spooky, if you want different pages, why don't you just use normal CSS?" Well hypothetical questioner, I've found that I've become exceedingly reliant on the 'Tiddle' framework for organizing notes. I love being able to drag and rearrange tiddles, edit them so effortlessly, create new tiddles without having to open up dreamweaver or VS code, it's just a dream. I *want *to use TiddlyWiki, but the problem I've come across is that I find myself frequently with dozens of tiddles open, most of which are just getting in the way. I have to close down all tiddles, then re-open the ones I actually need by browsing through my table of contents, etc. If TiddlyWiki can't do multiple, different pages, that's honestly probably okay, but I wonder, is it possible to create "groups" of Tiddles? So, for example, I could close all Tiddles, then open the 'Vallaki' group of tiddles, and it would open the highest level 'Blue Water Inn' Tiddle, but it wouldn't also open all of the Tiddles that are 'sub' to Blue Water Inn. Honestly, it's entirely possible that I can't do what I'm looking for in TiddlyWiki specifically, and I need to use something like CSS and HTML to accomplish that. I would just *severely *miss the river, and the functionality of tiddles themselves. The ability to reorder and instantly edit tiddles with a rich text (sort of) editor is seriously invaluable to me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
