Dropboard <http://reidgould.github.io/tiddlywiki-dropboard> version 1.0.0 has arrived!
See the new post here <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywiki/0YDWlU0Ls4Y> for an overview of major features. There are some new examples and much more information in the User Guide now, so take a look around. If you want to upgrade a wiki from an older version, there's just one extra step you should follow: - Uninstall Dropboard 0.X.X - For each tiddler you have used as a board: - Search for "Tiddler Name" and remove any tiddlers that have names like these (if you haven't been using the controls on the banner, there may be none.): - Tiddler Name-BoardHeight_Stage - Tiddler Name-ListWidt_Stage - Tiddler Name-SearchListFilter_Live - Tiddler Name-SearchListFilter_Stage - Tiddler Name-UserFilter_Live - Tiddler Name-UserFilter_Stage - Click the edit button and in the "fields" area at the bottom, delete any fields with these names (if you haven't been using the controls on the banner, there may be none.): - - listwidth-em - listwidth-num - boardheight - displayimages - displaytext - widthismax - collapse_in - Install Dropboard 1.0.0 and shortid Plugin (both found on the User Guide) Thanks for all your help getting Dropboard this far!
