The `$dropzone` widget used to trigger drag-and-drop $:/Import handling is defined in `$:/core/ui/PageTemplate`: ``` <$dropzone enable=<<tv-enable-drag-and-drop>>> ``` which also defines the `tv-enable-drag-and-drop` variable, which gets it's value from the contents of `$:/config/DragAndDrop/Enable`, and has a default value of "yes". To disable the default $dropzone, create a tiddler named `$:/config/DragAndDrop/Enable`, with a text field value of "no". After doing this, you will no longer be able to use drag-and-drop to import tiddlers. You will still be able to use the "Import" PageToolbar button (see the sidebar "Tools" tab, or `$:/ControlPanel > Appearance > Toolbars > Page Toolbar` settings) to initiate a "browse for file" system dialog to import tiddlers from locally saved .JSON files.
You can define your own custom dropzone "hotspot" by creating a tiddler containing something like `<$dropzone>drop here to import tiddlers</$dropzone>`. When that tiddler is displayed, you can then drag-and-drop onto the "drop here to import tiddlers" text to initiate the TWCore's usual $:/Import handling. To add a nice visible "import tiddlers" $button interface into the SideBar, try this: * Create a tiddler (e.g., SidebarImportZone) * Enter text content: `<$dropzone><$button>drop here to import tiddlers</$button></$dropzone>` * Tag it with `$:/tags/SideBarSegment` * Add a field named 'list-before' with a value of `$:/core/ui/SideBarSegments/tabs` Important note: Setting `$:/config/DragAndDrop/Enable` to "no" also disables use of drag-and-drop for re-ordering items within tag dropdowns. To avoid this side-effect, instead of setting `$:/config/DragAndDrop/Enable` to "no", you can disable the drag-and-drop $:/Import handling by editing the `$:/core/ui/PageTemplate` shadow tiddler and completely removing the `<$dropzone ...>` and `</$dropzone>` widgets from that tiddler. This leaves the tag dropdown handling intact, while still preventing page-wide drag-and-drop $:/Import handling from being triggered. enjoy, -e On Sunday, May 28, 2023 at 8:56:37 AM UTC-7 cj.v...@gmail.com wrote: > https://youtu.be/-UNSlUzdAY8 > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
