That sounds great. Why not publish it, like I did with tw5magick and 
tiddlystuff on tiddlyspot as well?

Re: [tw] Re: Searchable database in a page

2018-02-27 Thread Michael Wiktowy
Stephan's contact example is awesome and I used it and reused it everywhere 
for various database applications.

It was a bit cumbersome to clone and edit all the required bits each time I 
wanted to make a bunch of database tables and also it used a plugin that 
Stephan wrote to create a new tiddler before the new tiddler action existed 
in the core.

So I have recently modified it into a macro that makes everything generic 
as possible and core-only (not require "newtiddler"). See attached json 
file containing my macro and example files. The only three components that 
are really needed are the dblist macro, the "Entry" (that does not 
change between dblist instances) tiddler and "Edit" (that needs 
some customization) tiddler:

Usage: <>

Future plans (in no specified timeline) are:
- make it less brittle ... I am sure if you do anything terribly weird, it 
will break
- to make the macro create the "Entry" tiddler and sample 
"Edit" tiddler if they don't exist on first run
- to have the macro clone the Skeleton tiddler completely and not 
just the text field
- make it into a plugin (once do the research to figure out how to make a 
plugin)

[tw] dragging stuff into tw

2018-02-27 Thread Michael Wiktowy
I was just looking at all the different ways to import stuff and it seems very 
dependent on where it is coming from and the method of import.

Dragging and dropping seems to keep the source formatting ... which can work 
for or against you.

Works great on tables from an html doc although, with a mountain of styles in 
the tags, it is a bit awkward to edit after. Not so great dragging highlighted 
text from a PDF as Tiddlywiki (or most probably the browser underneath) doesn't 
know how to render a PDF fragment.

Copying and pasting seems to work well for importing images that were embedded 
in PDFs.

On top of that, you can cut out all the formatting by opening a new tiddler and 
pasting in to the edit box directly. But then you have the work to reapply all 
the formatting with Wikitext ... but it ends up being the most compact and 
editable.

So lots of trade offs depending on what you want to do with the content after.

[tw] TW saved in Beaker Browser and synced by Hashbase

2018-02-27 Thread Miroslav Kalous
Just a note for all those still trying to find a workable way of saving and 
syncing TW5, esp. for those with not much deeper IT skills: I think Beaker 
Browser (BB) coupled with Hashbase presents a wonderful solution.

What this combination does:

   - automatic saving of changes in TW (when using Beaker Browser);
   - sharing (or you could say syncing) TW via BB P2P mechanism supported 
   by hosting of P2P file via Hashbase;
   - access to TW from non-BB browsers as well - as a read-only version or 
   even as TW to make changes in but to save+sync manually;
   - allows for some level of security - as opposed to tiddlyspot (but 
   honestly I am not 100% sure about how much secure this solution is);
   - back-ups (in form of versions).

I am writing this from a point of view of a not-much-IT-skilled person by 
the standards of TW community. For those like me, navigating the various 
options of syncing TW and their limitations is a real challenge. In the 
end, BB + Hashbase seems to me to be the easiest and at the same time 
awesome solution.

Anyone can download BB and installing a browser is an OK task even for us 
less-skilled. After importing TW into BB library, TW is handled as in other 
browsers, except that automatic saving works. Just be aware that this does 
not work with  TW5 versions older than 5.1.15 ! (Mine was 5.1.14 when I 
started testing BB and it took me some time to discover why the auto-save 
does not work.)

However, BB in itself is not a solution as it is a P2P app (think 
torrents), so it needs people seeding files, in this case the TW5 html 
file. If you are the only user of your TW, that means you would need at 
least one computer constantly on seeding your file in order to be able to 
access the file from other devices as well. Which is no good. Fortunately, 
BB creators also run the website hashbase.io which is there to seed your 
TW5 file for you (more generally, it seeds the P2P format files BB is 
using: .dat). Up to 100MB which should be more than enough for TW html file 
- it is free. 

What you get is your TW html file always online and ready to be used by BB 
on any device in which you can install this browser and connect. One of my 
issues with sync solutions is that I use TW at work where my admin rights 
are very limited so I cannot install just about anything I want. But I can 
get BB running there.

Plus you can always access TW online from any browser as Hashbase 
translates the P2P file into a http:// version as well. Be aware that 
auto-sync won't work here. You can just read your TW notes. OR you can also 
use your TW and make changes, just you'll need to save the html file 
manually and then update your TW in BB library when on device with BB 
installed.

As far as I can tell, this is also a fairly secure solution (as opposed to 
tiddlyspot). Without Hashbase, i.e. just using BB, the file is encrypted 
when transmitted . When using Hashbase, the file goes openly online. On BB 
site, it says "each update to a Dat is signed, and and each file is 
hashed." So we know what is going on with our file. As I don't want my TW 
to be public, I use the-whole-TW encryption via native option of setting 
password for saving TW in TW's control panel. For sensitive data like a 
blog diary with personal stuff, I also encrypt individual tiddlers. (And 
for really sensitive stuff, I just don't put it online, i.e. in TW.) As I 
use password manager, opening password-protected TW in Chrome or even BB is 
not really an issue or significant slow-down.

Last but not least, BB also keeps older versions of files so it is possible 
to revert to them in case of something going wrong with TW file. I suppose 
this cannot replace long-term back-up needs but the short-term ones 
probably yes.

P.S. - what I have tried or considered before this solution:

   - Tiddlydrive - also not much cumbersome solution but it needs sending 
   your data via tiddlydrive author's web (as far as I can tell), needs Chrome 
   extension installed (which I am not able to do at work) and seems to me a 
   bit fragile solution as it rests on how long Tiddlydrive's creator is going 
   to use it;
   - Tiddlyspot - I don't want my TW to be public and so unsecure;
   - Noteself - almost made it run but just almost; I have little 
   understanding of what CouchDB is or how to make it work but managed to 
   setup a database at IBM Bluemix; however, I encountered PouchDB Failed 
   Login error and didn't really find an answer to what to do about it;
   - Node.js - even more difficult to set-up for a non-coder like me, I 
   haven't really tried but from what I could tell I would have not succeeded 
   on my own;
   - OneDrive - somewhere in GG is described how paid OneDrive account 
   could make saving hosted html file work (renamed as .aspx) but I could not 
   make it work despite consulting it with OneDrive support for some time;
   - OndDrive or Google Drive with manually saving files - I have done it

[tw] Searchable database in a page

2018-02-27 Thread masanti . luis
I just find this today, I reas some notes but I need to know if I can use 
it for what I heed.
I need to make a page with a searchable database contained in the page.
The database is around 400 elements with 3 to 5 fields,
I would like to be able to search for any field and show a hit or rearrange 
the list.
I do not want to depend on server side programs.
I would have to learn JS to modify the code, so a just-tuning solution 
would be the best.
Thanks in advance.

[tw] Re: Small Tip: simple no-plugin/no-core-modification way to store tiddler revisions

2018-02-27 Thread Diego Mesa
Hey Josiah,

I like your ideas. For #1, I also thought a "new tiddler revision" button 
could easily accomplish this part. For #2 - I really like the idea of 
incorporating the bundler plugin! I'd like to pause for a second and 
emphasize:

This is bascically like the  "staging area" in a git-based version control 
system!! 

Some examplanation: In a git repository, you add files to the "staging 
area", letting git know that these are the files and versions of those 
files you would like it to remember, and then you actually commit those 
files in the staging area. Thats how you keep track of versions. With this, 
the bundler could use filters to grab different groups of files, check if 
theyve changed (perhaps checking if modified is different than a 
last_modfified field which could be set by the revision saving mechanism) 
and then save them. In the analogy the bundler's filter acts as the staging 
area, only grabbing the tiddlers you care about, and the revision saving 
mechansism acts as the git commit.

Just some thoughts

I think it may be worth posting news of your plugin again with a *Much

Three times over the last week I know of issues that came up where your new 
plugin would be relevant & writers were unaware of your new plugin.

Need for VERSIONING is definitely in the air right now.

2018-02-27 Thread @TiddlyTweeter
Two thoughts ...

1 - Add an "archive save" button that clones the tiddler and increments the 
save number automatically.

2 - Using the Bundler plugin to  easily periodically archive. Use its 
"filter" mode to automatically isolate all but only the items you need to 
archive so you can free up space in the TW.

The idea is a very good one. Recent innovations like that discussed at

[tw] Small Tip: simple no-plugin/no-core-modification way to store tiddler revisions

2018-02-27 Thread Diego Mesa
Ive always wanted a plugin to store tiddler revisions. A simple way I do 
this now which might be obvious to some, especially in retrospect is to 
just clone a tiddler, keep the original title and add "/r1" after the 
original title and save it. An example:

My Tiddler   > always represents the latest/current version of 
the tiddler
...
My Tiddler/r3   > nex next oldest
My Tiddler/r2   > next oldest
My Tiddler/r1   > oldest version

Now, if you want to see the revisions of a tiddler you can use: 

<> 

*NOTE:* This is a simple tip using no modifications to core or plugins to 
accomplish. It has several downsides, and some ways to ameliorate them (at 
added complexity/overhead)

   - you're making many copies of the tiddler, which could blow up in size 
   - this is NOT a memory efficient revision mechanism
  - this could be addressed by storing just a diff, perhaps generated 
  by the new diff mechanism core will hopefully get soon! 
  - you have to manually keep track of revision names/numbers
  - this could be addressed with a simple "new revision button" to do 
  the counting, which could be added to either view mode or edit mode or 
both.
   - you have to manually put the tree somewhere to take a structured look
  - this could be addressed with a simple "revisions" pane in the info 
  pane of tiddlers which contians this tree 
  - naming scheme is not that informative
  - this could be addressed simply by altering the scheme to store a 
  message in the the title: "/r1" to "/r1 - changing the layout", or a 
better 
  way is to store a message in a field and have that displayed in the 
  "Revisions pane" mentioned earlier.  
  
I share here because even this simple way to store revesions has come in 
handy for my simple use cases.

Hi @wjam 

That's cool, I've seen your plugin before!
It's very feature-packed and an alternative for me if I need more than what 
the tw diff offers

Thank you very much for sharing!

2018-02-27 Thread 'Mark S.' via TiddlyWiki
@ BTC

Do you know where the image deserializer/handler is?

We've been told that the path information is unavailable to TW thanks to 
security built into the browser. But clearly the image name is available, 
so if you used a standard naming convention, eg. abc_myimage.jpg then maybe 
your custom deserializer could use the "abc" part to assign a path on the 
fly. Like you, I've long wanted the ability to drag and drop an image and 
have a  _canonical_uri tiddler generated. Oh, and you're supposed to be 
able to do this with the desktop version and a plugin, but when I tried it 
there was still a bug in the desktop and it didn't work. That was a couple 
months back.

Looking at the HTML deserializer, I see that it doesn't do much. It occurs 
to me that you could pass it to a javascript function that makes it into 
it's own dom tree (can't think of the function name at the moment). Then 
parse the tree and traverse it, turning various tags into TW5 text.  A bit 
of work.

*D-n-d highlighted* of external sites doesn't always work--but often it 
does.

For instance on the WikiPedia issue we were recently discussing TiddlyWiki 
can import highlighted text from WikiPedia. It comes in as raw HTML, 
obviously.

[tw] Re: [POLL] What does the community think about the new diff plugin?

2018-02-27 Thread Tristan Kohl
I voted for it being not part of the core for the reason to keep the core 
as slim as possible. This makes TW run as fast as possible from the 
beginning and one can add new features (plugins) if need be. For simple 
note taking for example I could not imagine myself using this as it is a 
"write and forget" kind of workflow. In this case another bucket of code 
would just increase the load on my mobile devices (desktop has enough horse 
power) for no added benefit.

On the other side if I am about to tweak something in my test-wiki which I 
personally only do on my desktop I would love to have such a little helper 
to find out where I might screw things up. So I think the diff plugin as 
all the other little helpers that are not absolutely necessary for TW to 
run should be plugins which the user is free to add at their own discretion.

Cheers,
Tristan

Interesting -- I'm sure I've tried that in the past and it didn't work.

You could use TW this way to replace the much-loved Scrapbook extension 
that disappeared in the great Foxaclypse. 

The main problems are that: 

1. It's all HTML which consumes 3x more space than mark-up
2. Images are links to sites which can go away at any time

You may already know this, but for me it's new!

Maybe you can share some interesting things that are possible with it:

I was translating something in a well-known online translator which shows a 
table with some informations below the translation

I somehow selected the table and dragged it to my wiki then I was curious 
enough to import and voilá there's the whole table in html in my wiki, 
beautifully rendered

I didn't know that that works and I'm impressed
Do you know other examples where this works that may be useful?

Re: [tw] Re: Can you use @@ to make inline span with styles AND class?

2018-02-27 Thread 'Mark S.' via TiddlyWiki
One of the incentives for converting to mark-up is that an HTML tiddler is 
typically 3 times larger than one using mark-up. This is because no one 
hand-codes anything -- it's all done through some software that doesn't 
know how to consolidate attributes and as a result a lot of tags and/or 
attributes get repeated. If you're planning to clip a lot of articles 
keeping the size down is going to be important.

The other problem is that this same html is often difficult to read. One 
possibility would be to leave span's in, but insert line feeds so that when 
reading the source it's easier for the eye to follow. Markdown strict 
appears to leave  tags in, and it's really hard to follow what's 
going on.

Right. Personally, for my usage, IF I were ever nesting spans, I'd prefer 
explicit HTML because its easier for me to  read than WikiText would be. I 
generally think if you add too much differentiation to WikiText it becomes 
cumbersome and counter-productive.

That said, in the background to the discussion was also, I think, issues 
about converting WikiPedia pages that can have nested spans to TW (or 
Pandocs of similar nested spans to a TW compatible import format). The 
issue being that conversion would get complicated having a markup for 
spans--but not nested spans.

The discussion Steven Schneider started at  
https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en-GB=1#!topic/tiddlywiki/0Z4F7fBOBgQ 
I think invokes some of the issue. FWIW I'm seriously doubtful that 
focusing on WikiText for such conversion is necessarily a good (total) 
approach. TW obviously supports HTML and if the objective is honing of WP 
HTML to something workable in TW via Slicer or TiddlyClip or Pandoc maybe 
HTML comes first?

Sorry for the lateral thinking mixing-up issues. But its kinda there I 
think.

Finally, I searched the documentation and can't find any reference to 
WikiText STYLING of SPANS or its differences from the PARAGRAPH version.

Best wishes
Josiah
