[TW Tones]

Here are Some additional elements for styling;

   - Tag Color standards
   - Tag Icons
   - Tiddler Icons
   - Tiddler color field
   - Tiddler Class field

How would you suggest we use these?

What can you think of?

[tw5] RFC Request for Comment - color intuitions

[TW Tones]

Folks,

I have being playing with CSS and its integration into TiddlyWiki and 
realise there is more than enough opportunity especially with the new Custom 
styles by data tags 
 etc... to 
realise a smart, subtle and intuitive interface.

This is not an idea for a theme, nor even just CSS but taking a range 
tiddlywiki tiddler and page elements, that change and provide a subtle 
variation particularly with colour, pale backgrounds, boarder style, 
thickness and shadows.

Examples may be

   - A pail green background when a tiddler is in draft mode, 
   - A Dark a green border if the tiddler begins with "New Tiddler" 
   - A yellow boarder if the tiddler is an Orphan
   - A Pale grey background if the tiddler an unedited shadow
   - and many more

The idea is to take common facts about tiddlers or the wiki as a whole and 
use these to leave subtle messages to the user 

   - We need not know the exact detail of such indicators, because if you 
   use a consistent set they will become evident over time.
  - This would be supported further, if we *produce a de facto standard 
  and shared it widely *(or added to the standard distribution)
   - They should be designed for light and dark themes and not influence 
   the overall theme too much.
   - Scanning down the story list it will be quick and easy to locate 
   tiddlers based on these subtle colors
   - When viewing or editing a tiddler various things will be evident that 
   may not normally be visible, like this tiddler is also a tag.
   - Using color and other elements, even just coloured shadows will not 
   impact the layout in anyway.
   - Perhaps something similar could be added to the standard list item so 
   links suggest the tiddlers content as well.
   - All this could be toggled on and off with a click.

So I started this topic for *feedback and inspiration from the community*, 
if you have any ideas such as the following please comment.

   - Identify elements we can style in both view and edit mode
   - Suggested meaning for things like dotted boarders
   - Or meaning full associations with colors eg; red warning, green new, 
   etc...
   - What are the ways to identify these different attributes? eg no 
   tags/tags  {{{ [{!!tags}is[blank]then[notags]] }}} {{{ 
   [{!!tags}!is[blank]then[hastags]] }}}
   - Indicating an over all wikimode?

To support this effort I have also built a library of more than 800 named 
colours, so a spectrum of colours can be used eg "Bigger tiddlers darker 
boarder" etc...

[tw5] Re: Regarding list bullets

[TW Tones]

Eric,  Perhaps any other css master,

I do not mean to wander too far from the OT but it seems appropriate to 
raise this.

This .myBullets class is functional but is there any other way to define 
all these css settings without repeating the major class name?, in part 
because it would be nice to repeat this in other circumstances or make the 
class name a local variable.

I will explore this myself in time but I am looking for a simpler workflow.

Tony

Both of these methods allow the "pinned" tiddler to be closed as long as 
there are other tiddlers still showing in the Story River.

[TW Tones]

Jon,

There are many ways to achieve something like this. Default tiddlers can be 
used to load something at the top every time but another way is to use the 
special tiddler $:/config/EmptyStoryMessage 


Who's content will appear on using close all
You could transclude the tiddler {{Home}}  and add it to default tiddlers 
so home loads on starup, and if you close every thing you see home on the 
background.

This is like a pin one item.

Regards
Tony

Re: [tw5] Re: Importing a tiddler written with python?

[Jimmy Sweeney]

Thanks Mark! Adding those things to my TODO.

This is literally my first ever program that I wrote on my own. So this
little script is the equivalent of that first wobbly table that a kid makes
in woodworking. I’m just happy that it works!

I actually noticed that there are some not-so-obscure ISBNs that meta can’t
find. But there are some other tools in isbnlib for finding books so I’ll
look into that as well.

A little background on why I made this. I have a list of books read/to read
on Goodreads that I wanted to import easily into my TiddlyWiki. I also have
an xml file of exported posts from Wordpress that I’d like to import to my
TW. Now that I know it’s possible I’ll get working on a script that can do
that next (unless someone knows of something that can already do that).

Try tagging the tiddler with $:/tags/AboveStory.

Note that this only renders the tiddler *content* (i.e., no tiddler frame, 
titlebar, or tiddler controls), but you can still open that tiddler as a 
normal part of the Story River to edit it.

[tw5] Organising mixed Journal and 'Fact/Knowledge Base' Tiddlers

[Jon Light]

Hi

I am a noobie, absolute convert to TiddlyWiki, its just what I have been 
searching for during my travels through TagSpaces, CherryTree and other 
places, loving it!!! 

Is it possible to have a tiddler that is 'pinned' so as to always appear 
position one on my home page so that I can filter all tiddlers that have a 
particular tag so as to create a new view?

Ideally I would like to create views so that clicking on a tag in top 
pinned tiddler would give me a page listing all tiddlers having that tag.

I would like to add code in the pinned tiddler that listed all tags and so 
presented me with the option to go to a view showing only tiddlers that 
have the tag I just clicked on, it would be nice to have a way of getting 
back to the main selection. 

One reason for wanting this is that my TiddlyWiki contains what I might 
call information based tiddlers and also journal based tiddlers that 
represent my thoughts and understanding relating to the fact based 
tiddlers. At the moment my default view shows everything in chronological 
order, I would like to split the view into one that contained only facts 
and one that contained only journal tiddlers.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Re: [tw5] Re: Importing a tiddler written with python?

['Mark S.' via TiddlyWiki]

Nice Work!

It's been a long time since using Python, but it was one of my favorite 
languages.

Comments

Since python has a library for everything, I'm thinking they must have a 
library for JSON. This way you don't have to build your own strings, which 
is subject to error (as you discovered). Just a thought.

I don't see any error handling. What happens if someone mis-types an ISBN 
number? Or if "meta" can't find a number (I was just looking for an obscure 
ISBN yesterday -- it wasn't on Amazon).

It appears you're hard-coding {{!!title}} etc. into the text field. That 
means if you want to change the appearance you will have to go back to 
every single tiddler and change it. You might want to consider using 
tiddlywiki templates instead. 

https://tiddlywiki.com/#TemplateTiddlers

Have fun!

 Good evening guys, me again.

 I understand that the scope of a variable is defined by the enclosing 
 <$vars> <$set> or <$wikify> widgets. I also understand that any new <$set> 
 widget opens up a new scope, where a variable  defined in an outer 
 scope would be overridden. I am facing a problem where I would need to 
 access out-of-scope variables (or come up with a completely different 
 approach).

 I am still working on a set of double-nested JSON data (using Josh 
 Fontany's JSONmangler plugin). I want to display the content of the data 
 in 
 a table using table cells spanning multiple rows like . 
 The problem here is, the rowspan is defined by the number of elements in 
 the lowest nested level and I would need it before rendering the table and 
 looping through the array elements fetching the data. So typically, in a 
 garden variety programming language, I would do something as follows:

 totalRows = 0
 Loop through Level1
nestedRows= Level2.count()
totalRows += nestedRows
 End Loop

 Could anybody enlighten me, if a construct like this is possible in TW 
 and how I would achieve it?

 Two fallback options: 
 - storing the number of elements in the JSON structure (yuck - feels 
 like cheating).
 - throwing the whole JSON data structure at an JS macro. Positive side 
 effect: I would have to dive into it and learn something new.

 Thanks for helping me out on this.
 Best, Werner

Re: [tw5] Re: Importing a tiddler written with python?

[Jimmy Sweeney]

Thanks all! I figured it out!

Mark - you were correct. I needed to get rid of any line breaks so that the
resulting file was all just one line.

If anyone else wants to use my program, here it is:
https://github.com/sweenejp/files/blob/master/isbn_to_json_for_tiddlywiki.py
and
an example of an output file here:
https://github.com/sweenejp/files/blob/master/Cosmos.json

Sorry the python code is a little messy (I'm very much a beginner at
coding). I made everything a field and then had certain fields transcluded
into the text field. You can change the fields to whatever you want (for
instance the "tags" field).

Pretty cool to know that TiddlyWiki files are basically like Python
dictionaries. Now that I say that, I'm sure there would have been a much
cleaner way to write my code. I could have just created a dictionary based
on the keys and values that a Tiddler requires. Oh well.

Thanks for all the help!

[tw5] Re: Day Number

[Ed Heil]

Hey, thanks all.  

That macro is outstanding.  I'd definitely rather exploit existing filter 
techniques than add in a plugin!

I had run across the term "ordinal date" in wikipedia for this thing, and 
"day of year" would also be an intuitively clear way to refer to it.  I'll 
pick one of those to use for my field. :)

There is a discussion at github about this exact problem. Discussion about 
a possible solution starts here: 
https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/4816#issuecomment-673971149 
.. .You'll also need to read the following posts from Jeremy. 

So there is a chance that we get a fix. .. You may want to +1 your 
favorites at the github issues page.

Ah thank you all, I think the easist for the time being is just to sort the 
stylesheets in my own order!
