Hi all Rich Shumaker is evil! ;-)
Thanks to this thread https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywiki/AatW5wFls-w, I discovered Rich Shumaker's "TW inside a TW" http://t5a.tiddlyspot.com/#_canonical_uri%20Example. That got me thinking again about TW as an infinitely expandable content management system. So thanks to Rich I spent a day tinkering instead of getting my own work done. So he is only evil in that he distracted me from my work for the day. But actually I am grateful to him for doing that! Thanks Rich! I created a central hub file called InfiniTiddly, then I made a number of adjustments to the Psalms TiddlyWiki I wrote about earlier today and created a portal to it in InfiniTiddly using Rich's ObjectFrame. http://giffmex.org/notes/infinitiddly.html The Psalms tiddler found there is actually a portal to access the Psalms TiddlyWiki. I could file Infinitiddly with objectframes to many other TiddlyWiki files in this way, and have an fairly infinite library of tiddlers accessible in one TW, and a user might not necessarily realize that that is what is happening. Filesize becomes irrelevant. I am happy with the results so far, but there are some wrinkles I would like to see ironed out before I start using this widescale: On the bright side: 1. Viewing: I hid the sidebar in the Psalms TW so that what comes into view in the Infinitiddly is the default tiddler, not the sidebar. The Psalms file has a white background now so that it does not contrast with the tiddler contents. 2. Printing: When printing from Infinitiddly, only the tiddler contents shows, not the icons or either of the frames. 3. At the top of the viewtemplate in the Psalms file, I have a home button, a download/save button, a link to a special search tiddler, the chevrons to reveal the sidebar, and more/edit/close. They are off to the left so they won't interfere with the outer InfiniTiddly more/edit/close, and they are separated by color to make it easier for the eye to scan and memorize them. On the medium side: There are probably more icons there than most people will want to stomach: 3 icons for the frame tiddler in Infinitiddly, and seven icons in the tiddlers at the Psalms file. In particular it would take some getting used to, to avoid closing the outer frame tiddler when what you want to do is close the inner Psalms tiddler. But I am content with this for my own use, and I think it looks pretty clean. You be the judge. Problematic and beyond my limits: 1. While on my laptop (Firefox in Windows) long tiddlers have scrollbars, on my iPad they do not, and there is no way to get to longer content. 2. When printing longer tiddlers from Infinitiddly, the Psalms content below the bottom of the Infinitiddly portal tiddler is cut off. 3. There is no way to permalink a tiddler from the Psalms file while viewing from the Infinitiddly file. The Infinitiddly file is what stays in the browser address bar. 4. The process of viewing the content from the Psalms tiddlywiki is pretty slow on the iPad. Would love your suggestions: Are there ways to fix these four problems? Are there other problems with these files, blind spots I have not considered? Are there easier and more appropriate ways to do the same thing (I had to tinker with several core shadow tiddlers, and the CSS is probably a mess).
