[tw5] Re: Delete confirmation for blank tiddlers

[TW Tones]

Kebi,

I agree this is what happens if you create a tiddler, with only its title.

   - A Quick look at the delete tiddler button $:/core/ui/Buttons/delete 
   shows it uses the button message="tm-delete-tiddler 
   "
   - There is no mention of this behaviour and no parameters to override it.
   - Only changing the text stops this behaviour, adding a tag or field 
   with a value does not cause the are you sure warning.

It can be quite common to create tiddlers accidentally and want to simply 
delete them, so I am not surprised at this behaviour. When it is only a 
tiddler with a title then all that is deleted is the title, if there is any 
content what so ever, you may not be able to see it eg; fields, then it 
should trigger the confirmation (in my view).

Perhaps you can submit and *issue* on github for a setting to be provided 
in the control panel settings to change this behaviour?

In the mean time perhaps you could consider either modifying the tiddler, 
even just add space to the text. Another way to do this is to make your own 
"new tiddler button" and modify it to set the text to " " space only, and 
hide the existing one. However new here and other will not be affected?

*Good catch*

Regards
Tones

It will work as long as the editor isn't being used in view mode, however 
it is incredibly error prone and best avoided for most users. As an example 
consider what happens when a user selects half of a widget or macro call 
along with some other text and wraps it in a  tag.

[tw5] Re: [ demo ] Editor for lists (Streams)

[Saq Imtiaz]

@Clutterstack I'm not surprised, I hammered this out very quickly with no 
regard for error handling or edge cases. I think it illustrates the point 
well enough, i.e. making use of in built facilities for manipulating 
tiddlers even when the end goal is not to work with tiddler.

I also think that extending and using the parser is something that is 
overlooked in TW.

Saq

[tw5] Re: Simple Wikitext Syntax Highlighting

[JD]

Adithya! This is wonderful, especially for people like me who want the 
tiniest degree of separation between View and Edit modes!

Some things I hope you can add:

\define macroMe(name:"teacup")
> I'm a little $name$
> \end


Can macro definitions have a certain color, and the macro name to be bold? 
For example, I wish this whole block to be <>, 
where $name$ is highlighted in another color, maybe <>, sample:

\define *macroMe*(name:"teacup")
> I'm a little $*name*$
> \end

 
As an extension to this thought: can I target this whole text block in CSS? 
This is a desirable workflow for me: on mouse-hover, this whole block of 
text is very visible, to allow no room for mistakes while editing. Then 
with no mouse hover, it assumes the coloring as stated above, or maybe even 
just a lighter opacity (I can do this with CSS of course, if it's a class 
that can be *exposed *to me)

//ddf//
>  __underline__
>   ~~strikethrough~~ 

And some sup^^s^^ and sub,,s,, because I write like this sometimes


I hope you can add the above in the future, especially the *//Italics//*, __
*underlines*__, and ~~strike-throughs~~! (no google groups formatting for 
strikethroughs, so I can't show the visualization)!
 

> <>
> <>


Like [[*]] and {{*}}, can <<* "">> have a color? And within it, can strings 
starting and ending with* "* also be styled? Sample:

 <>

<>


For strings inside back-ticks, 

`monospace me, and color <>?` 
> ```
> monospace me, too?
> ```


I've set my CodeMirror font to *NonSerif*, can it be so that strings within 
back-ticks are monospaced, colored <>?

As for the html links, they're colored already, but can that be extended so 
that maybe clicking on them while CTRL is held down, will result to the 
link opening in another browser tab? Also, I write external links this way 
a lot:

[[title|http://adithyab.tiddlyspot.com/]]
>

can it be treated differently from a normal tiddler [[*]] link ? Sample:

[[*title*|http://adithyab.tiddlyspot.com/]]


 
I'm sorry if these are a hassle to include! I am requesting these from the 
perspective of someone going in and out of wikitext and defining macros, 
who need these visual identifiers in the textarea.

Also from a perspective external to tiddlywiki... In my line of work, there 
is a lot of visual identifiers in "edit mode", before we pass on the work 
to people who will only ever access it in "view mode". This is to help us 
designers in our field to self-correct immediately, reducing the need for 
multiple checks, while the raw form of the work is still exposed to us 
(rarely do we even access the work in "view mode").

Your CodeMirror extension has the potential to really *mirror* my actual 
non-tiddlywiki work setup, and thus I'm really excited! I hope somehow 
these can be implemented in your future plugin. If not, I wish you can 
provide tutorials so I can personally extend the features (I have totally 
no idea how to JS)

Thanks for this, really! It has so much potential!

That is not the experience I get when I try the following at tiddlywiki.com

1) Go to http://tiddlywiki.com
2) press "+" button in the sidebar to start editing "Draft of New Tiddler"
3) press "checkmark" button in the tiddler toolbar to create "New Tiddler" 
(note that the body is empty)
4) press "pencil" button in the tiddler toolbar to edit "New Tiddler"
5) press "trashcan" button in the tiddler toolbar to delete "New Tiddler"

You are prompted to confirm the deletion.

Can you describe the *exact step-by-step actions *that produce the behavior 
you want to change?

[tw5] Delete confirmation for blank tiddlers

[kebi]

Hello guys,
by default if a tiddler contains some text in its body TiddlyWiki is gonna 
ask if you are sure about deleting the tiddler, but it won't ask anything 
if the body is empty.
How can I change the behavior so that TiddlyWiki always asks me if im sure 
about deleting a tiddler??

[tw5] Re: GSD5 plugin issue with tiddler folding

[TW Tones]

Calvino

It is often a design decision or oversight whether the content of a tool 
honors the fold tiddler toggle.

   - The items tagged $:/tags/ViewTemplate may or may not be toggled
   - Use `<>` to see the tiddlers include, and 
   open one which honors the fold toggle 
  - eg $:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/subtitle 
  

  - You will see its wrapped in a reveal widget
   
<$reveal type="nomatch" stateTitle=<> text="hide" tag="div" 
retain="yes" animate="yes">

Content here responds to the fold toggle



If you wrap the contents of a view template addon with this it will exhibit 
the same behaviour.

Regards
Tones

[tw5] Re: What is the best approach for renaming a field that is used by multiple tiddlers?

[TW Tones]

Si,

I think it fair to say for each occurrence of filedname1 you create 
fieldname2 and populate it with the value of fieldname1 then delete 
fieldname1

<$action-setfield filename2={{!!fieldname1}}/>

<$action-deletefield fieldname1/>


The above can go in a list that locates tiddlers containing fieldname1 and 
wrapped by a button to trigger the action(s) on each tiddler.

[tw5] Re: [ demo ] Typewriter: (not) a WYSIWYG editor

[TW Tones]

Saq, 

Thanks for sharing. I expect something like this would be adequate for 90% 
of TiddlyWiki naive users visiting a site where they can compose simple 
content.

FYI: Given the tiddler is rendered ultimately by tiddlywiki, macros etc.. 
will be honoured
! Start

<>

* Items
* More
Pasting complete macros into a text/typewriter type tiddler or when just 
wiki text, seems to work fine.

Personalty I often use html in my tiddlers such as for complex tables, 
there is value making full use of html given its rich environment. I wonder 
if we could have WYSIWYG sections or blocks inside tiddlers. I am currently 
playing with structuring the content of tiddlers around html systematic 
blocks, inside a view template, populated by tiddler fields.

All,

   - What open source WYSIWYG editors do you use?
   - What do end users need

Please provide some info and ideas here so someone is inspired to run with 
Saq's lead on this.

Regards
Tones

[tw5] GSD5 plugin issue with tiddler folding

[Calvino]

Hi,
I have been starting to use the GSD5 plugin. 

One thing I find is that it interferes with the built-in functions for 
folding and unfolding tiddlers. That is, they don't work.

Does anyone here remember that issue and what the fix for it is?

All the Best,
Calvino

This has probably been asked before but I can't find any info.

[tw5] Re: [TW5] A small update to rboue's Three.js plugin

[Ste]

Ah. Ok. Isn't the stl baked into three.js? I'll have a look. 
Just prodding at the edges of embedding models from onshape.com which 
although it does a good link share won't allow it to be embedded because of 
reasons. Was hoping stl export and tiddlywiki could be a pain free ish 
solution. 
Thanks for the reply.

[tw5] [ demo ] Typewriter: (not) a WYSIWYG editor

[Saq Imtiaz]

 I'm in a busy period at the moment. As a result I haven't had the chance 
to make further progress for a few weeks on a bunch of ongoing experiments, 
let alone have time to discuss them. 

So I am sharing some of what I've been fiddling with in the hopes that it 
may inspire ideas for others to pursue.



Please read carefully through all the information provided in the demo.

https://saqimtiaz.github.io/sq-tw/typewriter.html

Cheers,
Saq

I use File-backups (https://github.com/pmario/file-backups). The issue

try disabling other add-ons to see if that resolves the issue.

Hi Mario,

Thanks for the help.

I have been able to get it working in TW5!
I have created a new project here:

it.

JD and others, can you try it out and give feedback?
This is how it looks

['Mark S.' via TiddlyWiki]

It works OK for me on FF 79 on Linux. 

By "downloader", which extension do you mean?

It's possible an extension is having an effect even if you disabled, if you 
didn't restart FF.

[tw5] Re: unable to use edit mode text field TWSingleFile, local copy

[NU]

 I have the exact same issue with Firefox 79, even occurring with an empty 
file downloaded from the main site. It only occurs in Firefox, Chrome still 
works okay.

Using Firefox 79 64 bit on both Windows and Linux. Occurs with downloader 
addon both enabled and disabled.

Go to tiddlywiki.com, scroll to the GettingStarted tiddler, click the big 
blue "Download empty" button, open the empty.html file in Firefox 79, click 
the edit button on the GettingStarted tiddler or make a new tiddler. 
Behaviour doesn't change if it's being saved to the Download directory or a 
subdirectory.

However, I can create and edit tiddlers on tiddlywiki.com. If I 
subsequently download (using the tiddlywiki save changes button) and open 
the local copy of the tiddlywiki.com site, the issue reappears.

I am using Chrome as a workaround for now but this is not ideal as it lacks 
key functionality that Firefox offers.

You are right. ... There is a possibility for "global" e-mail address. BUT

That's exactly the point I wanted to make. ... BUT as written above I did

That's all. 

If someone else wants to deal with spam I'm happy to assign a global e-mail

Re: [tw5] [ demo ] Editor for lists (Streams)

[Atronoush Parsi]

I love this!
I myself like to keep one topic in a single tiddler and this lets me to do
so!
I noticed I can even keep separate tiddlers if I like and the subtiddlers
will only be deleted if I click the save button!
Clever solution!

Thank you Saq!

[tw5] Re: Prior Art? Create tiddler in JSON file?

[TW Tones]

Werner,

Thanks for your thoughts. This particular example of 800 tiddlers is not 
necessary the standard case. For example just moving a couple of tiddlers 
into a JSON would be common.

Perhaps I am miss-guided but I was hoping for a simple to use answer, one 
like a version of the actioncreatetiddler that generates the tiddler inside 
a json tiddler, appending if any already there. In fact in this case I only 
want JSON to store tiddlers, which it already does, look inside any plugin 
tiddler.

Although I too, treasure Joshua Fontany's great JSON Mangler as opening 
tiddlywiki to all JSON files.

Another use case I have is generating a project or wiki tiddler from 
various content in the project or wiki and storing it in a JSON (one or 
more tiddlers eg multiple projects) the result can be dropped on a 
directory wiki that can list all wikis and projects and their location 
file/url and tiddlername.

I agree the database versions of tiddlywiki stand to make a lot of 
difference, but that is not what I am looking for here, thanks

Tones

[tw5] Re: [ Streams ] : feedback and issues

[Saq Imtiaz]

Keelan,

Another short reply for now, going to work through the rest of your 
feedback piecemeal as time permits.

Regarding search:

*Search gets confusing.* I've learned to adjust to this, but all of the

 I thought about putting together a quick search solution for search where 
only the root node is returned in search results, but quickly realized 
there is a conceptual snag. Streams is intentionally written so that it 
doesn't care about the titles of tiddlers for maintaining the relationships 
between them. So for example:

History/1908 is not a subnode of History because of it's title, but rather 
because History/1908 has a field called *parent* with value History.

So it's easily doable to have a custom search only return the root node of 
results by following the parent field back through relationships to the 
end. However, just renaming a tiddler would not make it show up in the 
search results. You would have to delete the "parent" field thereby 
removing it from the Stream.

So this makes a generic and flexible solution quite difficult. However, it 
would be doable to create a custom solution for you where search always 
follows the parent field upwards as long as the parent tiddler title is a 
substring of the tiddler in question.

That is if History/1908 has the field parent pointing to History, we follow 
that field.
If French Revolution has the field parent pointing to History, we do not 
follow it.

 Let me know if this would be helpful, and if so what the value of the 
tiddler $:/config/sq/streams/new-node-title is when you open it for editing.

Cheers,
Saq

[tw5] Re: Prior Art? Create tiddler in JSON file?

['Werner' via TiddlyWiki]

Tony, as you may recall, I've experimented a bit with Joshua Fontany's 
great JSONMangler plugin and (nested) JSON data tiddlers. I think, the 
plugin provides the tool you need.

But, after a bit of a learning curve, I found I was able to get it to work 
and to access and retrieve data. I am not fully happy, though.

The main issue I have is that JSON only offers minimum features. It stores 
data. Period. When you want to retrieve data, they come out in the way you 
have stored them, unless you want to mimic features in TW normally offered 
by a *DBMS. E.g. for retrieval in a given sort order, you will need to 
either use one of the sort functions on the whole data set or create an 
ISAM feature in TW. As I wrote before, this is a rabbit hole I would be 
reluctant to jump into. There has been work put into this topic by minds 
more proficient than me, So I'd rather resort to the work done by them. 
Also, I don't know, how JSON performs with large datasets, but I would 
assume at 800 records there won't be too much performance issues.

So, for the time being, I will stick to my TW-based solution, but in the 
long run I feel tempted to try out PouchDB/CouchDB which seems like the 
natural complement for this kind of problem.

Best, Werner

[tw5] Re: Lost in transclusion

['Werner' via TiddlyWiki]

Thanks so much, Eric and Tony. As usal, this was extremely helpful. And 
<$wikify> actually solved the issue. 

In fact, I was assuming the transclusion chain had to do with it (hence the 
thread title), I am just not literate enough in TW to draw the right 
conclusions and find the remedies. But I keep on working at it.

Which brings me to another point: maybe I've overcomplicated things by 
storing a transclusion in a tiddler where a pointer to an array index in 
the JSON tiddler (i.e. a number) should have done the trick. But that's a 
different story.

So, thanks again, guys, much appreciated.

[tw5] Re: Use Relink to rename similar tiddlers

[Mat]

If you only want the occasional correction, the way to do it is to open 
your wiki in an editor e.g Notepad++ and do a search/replace. Obviously the 
usual caveats; careful, backup.

[tw5] Re: Use Relink to rename similar tiddlers

[Saq Imtiaz]

That Tiddler refers to handling the updating of the stream-list field in 
the parent when a child node is manually renamed.
This is already implemented using Relink, therefore you won't find this on 
the Roadmap.

As Tony mentions, from a Streams point of view there is no need to rename 
child nodes when the parent is updated.

[tw5] Re: [dot org] 2/9 Community TW .org Landing page - proposal

[TiddlyTweeter]

Ciao PMario & others interested in "landing page" options.

In another thread you mentioned I hold the address tiddly.wiki. It 
currently redirects to tiddlywiki.com.

I actually got hold of it because ...


   - its a a very good address for TW as the domain name EXACTLY matches 
   the product name
   - and I didn't want chance someone not using TW might get it & it start 
   turning up irrelevant searches in Google
   - and third, the MAIN reason, ... it was a small thankyou to Jeremy & TW 
   other developers for their work

I offered to transfer it to Jeremy's name but he was happy to leave as is 
for the moment just doing simple redirect.


   - He was glad I got hold of it but thought to not do much with it yet to 
   prevent invoking confusion with tiddlywiki.com.


BUT IF there were demand I'm sure we could transfer it for serious 
"Community" usage.

Let me & JR know if you interested.

Best wishes
TT
