[tw5] Re: Best option for TiddlyWiki on Android?

[Raymond McDowell]

I have recently discovered that Firefox with PMario's File Backup addon appears 
to work very well on Android. 

The only caveat is that tiddlywiki file needs to be placed in the Android 
download folder. This preserves any relational-based external links such as 
image files, thereby maintaining integrity between your desktop and Android 
versions.

[tw5] Re: How to link to images and audio files on Android

[Raymond McDowell]

First of all, Mark S. thank you for your suggestion. I moved my trial 
tiddlywiki to the downloads folder and although relational linking does not 
work for me with TiddloidLite, Chrome or Samsung browser. I found it works 
perfectly with Firefox when PMario's File Backup 0.3.5 is included as an 
add-on. So thank you Mark and thank you Mario. Since I spend well over 90 per 
cent of my time on Android these days, it is essential I have an environment 
that works in that environment, but the ten percent I spend in a Windows 
environment is crucial as well. 

I am now moving my data from orgzly, which I love on Android, but I hate trying 
to deal with org files on Windows, back to TiddlyWiki, which is both 
aesthetically pleasing and great for eliminating redundant entries.

Finally, as a normal end user without great technological leanings, I don't 
know how it works. I don't know why it works, but thank goodness it does work.

[tw5] Re: How to link to images and audio files on Android

[Raymond McDowell]

Once again, thanks for your suggestions but it still doesn't work on any of my 
android devices. I thought perhaps it was because of my browser and attempted 
to use the Samsung browser, then Chrome but when the img command still didn't 
work and the ext command showed the following address

content://0@media/external/file/images/smudge.jpg

something is happening I don't understand.

I dug out a windows laptop and, using the same file configuration, everything 
worked fine just as you noted, but back on my android I am still flummoxed.

[tw5] Re: How to link to images and audio files on Android

[Raymond McDowell]

Like you, I keep my images folder in the same location as my tiddlywiki. 
However, when I set the link I get nothing. 


[img width="100%" alt="(image 
missing)"[00-mysite_portable-00/images/smudge.jpg]]

In your example I get the alt text "image missing".

Please note, when using orgzly, using orgzly syntax, 
[[file:00-mysite_portable-00/images/smudge.jpg]] the link works.

[tw5] Re: Editing TiddlyWiki files on Android

[Raymond McDowell]

My solution---sadly--was to move to another solution. After several months 
of trial and error research I chose Orgzly combined with org-mode in emacs. 
Although emacs has a steep learning curve just as TW does, perhaps even 
moreso, I'm using the same learning methodology I did with TW. Learning as 
I go. For the time being, it's got me back on track, working on and 
offline, in windows and on android. I keep looking at the TW forum and site 
to see if some magical solution is developed, but for me at least, this 
appears to bee what works.

Hi Jeremy, 

I would like to echo dg's gratitude. I am actually thinking of moving on 
from TW, but TiddlyDesktop's ease of install and ease of use, even with its 
limitations, has me hesitating. 

So, whatever happens with TiddlyDesktop, please accept my thanks for 
developiing something un non-techies can use out of the box.

Hi Josh.  I would like to add my thanks for your testimony. I get a lot of 
meaning and value from it. Inspiration even. I've ran in circles for the 
past few weeks trying to decide how to move forward regarding "my stuff", 
which includes a lot of writing. To date, I have determined I am not ready 
to move away from TW, but how I work with it is changing. Your personal 
experience helps to nudge me into trying (at least) to follow your lead and 
make a statement about how I use TW and my reasons for it. Again, thanks a 
lot.

[tw] Re: Simple switch from single html file to Node.js - (newbie, how to)

[Raymond McDowell]

As a non-technical user of TW I would suggest you follow the directions 
provided by Jeremy at 
http://tiddlywiki.com/static/Installing%2520TiddlyWiki%2520on%2520Node.js.html. 
They are simple and clear enough

I believe the server referred to is the server node.js creates for you 

you can then go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/ in your browser  

simply drag and drop your wikis to the new node.js wiki.

[tw] Re: Conveying: Moans about poor documentation

[Raymond McDowell]

Just a thought after having an exchange with former ShadowPlan users who 
are uncomfortable moving to TiddlyWiki. 

Would it be workable to have an empty TW5 with a set of plug-ins and macros 
set up to provide ready made and  intuitive experience for new users? Why 
can't the download (perhaps a zip file) already have tiddlyfox included, a 
checklist macro that uses fields to designate the tag the list is based on, 
the rename macro and a comprehensive set of functions that do not initially 
require digging under the hood?

The key is making the initial experience intuitive and easy to use

[tw] [TW5] Can tags inherit the color of parent tags?

[Raymond McDowell]

This may have been covered somewhere else, but I couldn't find it. Is is 
possible for tags to inherit the color of their parent without changing 
each one?

Example: My wiki is named "mysite". It is segmented into 7 topics e.g.

1. writing
2. catalogs
3. strategy
4. journals 
5..correspondence
6. personal
7. utilities

each of these topics are further segmented and some are used under multiple 
topics.  Under writing I have 

1-A biographies
1-B stories
1-C poems
1-D essays
1-E interactives
1-F presentations
1-G writing utilities

And so on.  Is is possible to have all tags under writing to inherit the 
color of the writing tag?

Thanks to any and all who respond.

edit my body of work on the run or at my desk. For some time I used TW5 
with a cloud service so I could have my "stuff" whenever I wanted it. I was 
actually happy with my mobile experience. the menu was at the top of the 
screen, the text was easily scroll-able and links worked. I've had issues, 
and I've learned to work around them. 

Having said that, for the past couple of years I've resided in the 
hinterlands of the Philippines without a reliable internet connection. I'm 
still trying to figure out how to keep my wiki updated across several 
machines, including my phone and my tablet, as well as my laptop and 
desktop, but there's been no issue with viewing or editing my stuff. Maybe 
my needs are simple. I try to keep things as human readable as possible so 
there are lots of mechanisms I simply leave alone, and my experience on my 
mobile devices have remained quite acceptable to date.

[tw] Re: case insensitive links

[Raymond McDowell]

Thanks, but this really isn't what I was hoping for. I would like a 
mechanism that would allow all existing links to ignore text case so that 
[[Test]] would link to a tiddler named "Test" or "test" or "tEst". For me, 
this would simplify linking. Just wondering if there was an easy way to 
accomplish this. Guess not. Again, thanks.

I've been hesitant to add my two cents to this discussion, but let me offer 
an opening statement I've developed for my version of 
selling/documenting/using TW

-



*Jeremy Rustum's landmark creation, TiddlyWiki, is a cute name for a 
powerful, flexible and elegant tool. TiddlyWiki is great for note taking, 
task listing, knowledge management, project development ... well, actually 
for just about any content-based data you can imagine. It's free, 
cross-platform, easy to use out of the box and has a support community that 
can't be beat.*


*Mind you, once you start looking under the hood, there is a learning 
curve, but if you want to use it for a customized fusion of needs, you will 
want to learn how to tweak and modify it to create your own perfect working 
environment.  But this doesn't need to slow down your actual use of TW. The 
fine tuning can be done progressively, step-by-step, and you can continue 
to use TiddlyWiki while you learn to invoke the underlying magic that makes 
it so unique and so useful. *


*Lets get started by going to Getting Started 
. This is TiddlyWiki's download and 
basic instruction page. The most exciting aspect of this set of 
instructions is that you can use TiddlyWiki on every popular operating 
system. Even more significant, if you work on the run, you can use Dropbox, 
Google Drive or any other cloud based repository to sync your TiddlyWiki 
between all your devices.*


*Start by downloading the version for your operating system and your 
browser. I use Firefox, along with the TiddlyFox plug-in, but that's just 
my own preference. *



*Once downloaded, open up your empty TiddlyWiki in another browser tab 
while you keep this one available for reference. Fill out the Title and 
sub-title fields, remembering to use double-brackets "[[ ]]" if you use 
spaces between the words. *

*.*

*Got that done? Great. Just so you know, you have several options available 
to learn how to use TW.  You can read through Mr Rustom's instructions and 
learn everything you need to know and there are also several other 
tutorials and instruction manuals out in the wild, This just happens to be 
mine.*



**The
 
concept is to use TW to teach people how to use TW. In addition, it 
encourages people to use actively TW as they go. The more they learn the 
more they can expand the usage. The one issue is that the project is labor 
intensive for the author. It requires multiple tiddlywikis, expanding the 
capabilities of each as new techniques and concepts are introduced with 
detailed step-by-step development.

I'm happy to proceed with this effort if enough people think its 
worthwhile. Alternately, it can be a collaborative effort and/or someone 
with more expertise can pick up the proverbial ball and run with it.

[tw] Thanks to Tony Grosinger (checklist widget) and ihm4u (TidGraph)

[Raymond McDowell]

Background: Upon my retirement, my family and I headed for the Philippine 
provinces. We landed in Navitas, Numancia in Aklan. The place is wonderful, 
except for an iffy phone line Internet connection. Yes, we've relocated to 
2000 technology.  Since then, I have had little opportunity to check on the 
status of tiddlywiki. I have continued to use it extensively.

Yesterday I hung around the nearby town of Kalibo, where I have arranged 
for my son to have a bamboo cottage with a whopping 2mbps Internet 
connection so he can rest from school sessions and have access to a 
somewhat better connection.

I used the opportunity to check for updates and found both the latest 
version of TW and these wonderful plugins. The checklist widget is a 
beautiful development. I can use it for lists, brainstorming, all sorts of 
things, and it has a non-intrusive markup that I love.  TidGraph likewise 
provides a aesthetically pleasing map of my site without reducing the speed 
of my archaic equipment.

Thanks to both Tony and ihm4u.  Also to for adding the addition of the 
TWCommunity Search segment. 

Best regards,


Ray McDowell

Re: [tw] Re: (TW5) trying to determine optimal tiddler size

[Raymond McDowell]

Funny you should mention that. I had just reloaded windows 7 and was using
a Firefox browser with only TiddlyFox as an add-on when I ran the test I
mentioned. As noted before, this is evidently not an issue for other users.
I'm trying to adjust to the environment as I go. Right now I'm trying to
see if, when I shorten my entries, if I can include everything in a single
TiddlyWiki.

[tw] Re: (TW5) trying to determine optimal tiddler size

[Raymond McDowell]

Here's an example. Please note this is one of many. One entry. Plain 
text.307,832 characters. 56,458 words in its full completed state. Not 
really a long story in today's world. It barely qualifies as a short 
novel.  No links, no special formatting. Just words, phrases, sentences and 
paragraphs.  When I put it all in a single  tiddler in an empty tiddlywiki 
(version 5.1.9), save the TW, reopen the entry, which admittedly only takes 
2 - 3 seconds when it's the only tiddler in the wiki, then write this is a 
test at the top of the page, there is about a 10 second lag. That's way to 
much in my world when I should be well into a paragraph. 

So I acknowledge my entries need to be smaller. Broken down by chapters, 
scenes, whatever.  Conversely, in its present state, where I've broken it 
into chapters, the first chapter (18,408 characters, 3,394 words) there is 
no problem opening it even though I've used a little transclusion, a couple 
of tags and a couple of hyper-links.  Responsiveness is no issue.This is 
true whether I'm using my desktop or my android tablet.  

I was just wondering if there was any rule of thumb I might apply. 
Evidently not.

[tw] (TW5) trying to determine optimal tiddler size

[Raymond McDowell]

I use TW for everything (by everything I mean as a database, a writing 
environment, task development, et. al.), and prefer to keep it all in a 
single file. However, I find that some of my entries (e.g. novel length 
stories, long articles, long lists et. al.) slow down the beast to the 
point it becomes unusable. From what I read and from my own experience, I 
find if I keep the entries shorter, TW5 zooms from entry to entry at 
breakneck speed, regardless of the number of entries. My question is what 
is the size limit for entries if I want to keep the process flowing.

[tw] [tw5] three queries. problems adding a checkbox to TOC, how to create a template for checklists that works with any tiddler and creating a checklist that opts for the title when no caption exisit

[Raymond McDowell]

Sorry if this is too many queries at the same time.

Here is my situation. I use my TiddlyWiki as a PKM. This includes my 
writing projects, catalogs, all my projects and tasks, reference materials 
and journals.

Query 1) How to add checkboxes to a TOC.   To keep a status update, I use 
checkboxes to note where I am in my overall process. Jed generously offered 
a suggestionI previously how I could add a checkboxes to my TOS (see 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/TiddlyWiki/TOC$20checklist/tiddlywiki/Mc0kwDIkanQ/es1Uexk4-9QJ).
 
However I found that the checkbox disappeared as soon as I compressed the 
TOC entries or refreshed my wiki. Could anyone advise what I'm doing wrong 
here?

Query 2) How  to create a template for checklists that works with any 
tiddler.  I often use the the existing task management function as noted on 
Jeremy's TaskManagementExample on the tiddlywiki.com site.  It would be 
nice if there were a template I could use to apply to a given tiddler, 
thereby creating a checklist for the that uses the current tiddler for the 
tag being used.  (I hope that makes sense.

Query 3) How to create a checklist that can display either the caption (if 
one exists) or the title (if there is no caption) on the checklist list.

Some of these may be obvious, or they may not be possible. In any case, I 
appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks,

Ray

[Raymond McDowell]

Thanks Jed. I'll work with that. For the second question, I mean that I 
would like a single template where I don't need to make any modifications 
that uses the current tiddler as the tag and makes a checkboxed list.  That 
way all I need to do in any given tiddler is just call that template and i 
magically have a checkboxed list of all tiddlers that are tagged with that 
tiddler.

Sorry if I'm not stating that as clearly as I should

On Wednesday, May 20, 2015 at 9:37:40 AM UTC+8, Jed Carty wrote:

 For the first one:

 Looking at the code I gave you now I am a bit embarrassed. The checkbox 
 state has no persistent storage, so anytime the toc is refreshed the state 
 would be reset like you are seeing. This shouldn't have that problem. It 
 may have other problems I haven't seen. Also it is only adding one line to 
 the default toc macro:

 \define 
 my-toc-linked-selective-expandable-body(tag,sort:,itemClassFilter)
 $set name=toc-state value=qualify 
 $:/state/toc/$tag$-$(currentTiddler)$
 $set name=toc-item-class filter=$itemClassFilter$ 
 value=toc-item-selected emptyValue=toc-item
 li class=toc-item-class
 $checkbox tiddler=$(currentTiddler)$ tag='done'/
 $link
 $list filter=[all[current]tagging[]limit[1]] variable=ignore 
 emptyMessage=$button 
 class='tc-btn-invisible'{{$:/core/images/blank}}/$button
 $reveal type=nomatch state=toc-state text=open
 $button set=toc-state setTo=open class=tc-btn-invisible
 {{$:/core/images/right-arrow}}
 /$button
 /$reveal
 $reveal type=match state=toc-state text=open
 $button set=toc-state setTo=close class=tc-btn-invisible
 {{$:/core/images/down-arrow}}
 /$button
 /$reveal
 /$list
 toc-caption
 /$link
 $reveal type=match state=toc-state text=open
 $macrocall $name=toc-selective-expandable tag=currentTiddler 
 sort=$sort$ itemClassFilter=$itemClassFilter$/
 /$reveal
 /li
 /$set
 /$set
 \end

 This will give the the tag 'done' when the box is checked. If you don't 
 want to put the tag on the tiddler itself but still have a persistent state 
 replace $(currentTiddler)$ with 
 toc-state
 And you can of course change the checkbox to use a field or another tag.

 I am not sure exactly what you are asking for the second one. Do you want 
 a checklist that when each item is checked it gets tagged with the current 
 tiddler?
 If so you could make a macro like this (this also adds the answer to the 
 third part):

 \define makeChecklist(filter)
 $set name='taggingTiddler' value=currentTiddler
 $list filter='$filter$'
 $checkbox tiddler=currentTiddler tag=taggingTiddler$view 
 field='caption'$view field='title'//$view/$checkboxbr
 /$list
 /$set
 \end

 Put this in a tiddler, tag that tiddler with $:/tags/Macro and then in any 
 tiddler you put makeChecklist '[tag[something]]' (replace 
 [tag[something]] with the filter you want to use to make the checklist) and 
 it will create the list in that tiddler.
 If you want to click on the caption/title and open the tiddler instead of 
 toggling the checkbox than you would replace the checkbox widget with this:
 $checkbox tiddler=currentTiddler tag=taggingTiddler/$link 
 to=currentTiddler$view field='caption'$view 
 field='title'//$view/$linkbr

 For the third one the answer is easy enough:

 $list filter=whateverfilteryouusetomakeyourlist
 $checkbox tiddler='somestatetiddler' field=somefield checked=checkedvalue 
 unchecked=uncheckedvalue$view field=caption$view 
 field='title'//$view/$checkbox
 /$list

 or you can have the checkbox linked to a tag or whatever. The $view 
 field='caption'$view field='title'//$view is the important part. If 
 what you tell a view widget to display exists than anything between $view 
 and /$view is ignored, but if what you tell it to display doesn't exist 
 whatever is inside the tags is displayed instead.

 Like I said, I am a bit embarrassed that I missed that problem before. 
 Sorry about that.

[tw] [TW5] Looking for suggestions: How to keep tiddlers human readable while till making use of TiddlyWiki's advanced functionality

[Raymond McDowell]

After several months, I am now fully invested in TiddlyWiki. I was 
wondering if there are any rules of thumb or best practices on keeping

[tw] (tw5) what are the best ways to keep tiddler content human readable

[Raymond McDowell]

I am now vested in TiddlyWiki. I'm using it as a unified cross-platform 
personal knowledge management (and document development) system. 

Before ever coming to TiddlyWiky, when I first decided the Wiki Way was the 
best way for me, but in a personalized environment, I discerned the need to 
retain human readability of the content. I'm now finding that easily gets 
out of hand as I enjoy more and more of of TWs functionality.

Having said that, are there any rules of thumb or best practices that will 
allow me to keep most of my content easy to read while still making use of 
all the great functionality available?

Thanks and best regards,

Ray

[Raymond McDowell]

Thanks, Jed! It took me some head bangingI'm not all that brightbut 
it works like a charm. Even more, you have managed with this little bit of 
code to make an old ShadowPlan user grin from ear to ear. It gives me 
everything I could ask for and more. You have given me an outliner with a 
wikified structure that provides links to every entry I have tagged. Next 
step, I'm going to check out the tab settings to see if I can use it as a 
two pane outliner as well.

 To do this you would either create a new toc macro or edit one of the

 change the icons used 
 http://inmysocks.tiddlyspot.com/#Other%20TOC%20Macros. The macro 
 my-toc-linked-selective-expandable-body at the bottom of that tiddler has a 
 link widget in it, if you put your checkbox right before the link widget it 
 will show up right before the name of each entry in your toc.

 You can edit the macro in the core if you want, just remember that 
 overwritten shadow tiddlers don't get upgraded when  you upgrade your wiki. 
 If you do copy the macros to make your own version like I did you need 
 versions of all three macros like I made, but only the 
 my-toc-linked-selective-expandable-body has anything other than names 
 changed.

 And if you want the checkbox to be between the open/close icon and the 
 tiddler title (I think it looks better that way), this would be the macro, 
 just replace {{$:/settings/TableOfContentsSettings!!closed_image}} and 
 {{$:/settings/TableOfContentsSettings!!open_image}} with what you want the 
 closed and open images to be. Using this you still need the other two 
 macros, but they can be the same as I have on my site. You may also want to 
 change the tiddlers/fields the checkboxes use.

[tw] [TW5] Is there any way to incorporate a checklist into a TOC?

[Raymond McDowell]

Perhaps this is an odd request, but the way I keep track of where I am in 
my project listing is via checklists. I was wondering if it would be 
possible to combine a comprehensive site TOC incorporate a nested checklist.

Re: [tw] Re: [TW5] exporting tiddlywiki file to multiple html files

[Raymond McDowell]

Thanks everyone. This gives me what I wanted. Not something I'll use on a 
daily basis because if I am correct, the node.js version does not work on 
Android, That ability is the reason I migrated to TiddlyWiki. With an 
encrypted TiddlyWiki, coupled with Andwiki on my Androids, I can use Google 
Drive (the only cloud service not blocked at my firm) and Drive Autosync on 
all my Androids to keep everything easily synced and available all around 
without jumping through any hoops.  

Now that I know I can keep an archived copy of my notes in plain text 
format I can rest a little easier and will continue to work at learning how 
to optimize  my tiddlywiki experience.

For the record, over the past several years I have used ConnectedText (No 
android version), ResophNotes (syncing is unstable), Evernote (linking is 
awkward), SimpleNote (no linking at all), TreePad (linking is unwieldy and 
the android app requires too many steps to sync), Wiki On a Stick (obsolete 
and no android version), Emacs (an even steeper learning curve than 
TiddlyWiki) and my old reliable text editor NoteTab (wiki-linking works 
great but I have found no Android text editor that allows for wiki links).  
I've played with several other apps, but those are the ones I still keep an 
eye on just in case lightning strikes and any of them suddenly break out 
with something really special. I had been doing that with TiddlyWiki for 
years as well, until I discovered I could now import my thousand or so 
plain text files into TW5.

 Hi Raymond

  Having played about a bit with the offered suggestions, it looks like 
 TiddlyWiki cannot readily export a body of tiddlers into individual 
 discreet files. At least, not yet. Too bad. Something to keep looking for.

 Just to be clear, TiddlyWiki doesn't support exporting multiple tiddlers 
 from the standalone HTML file configuration. The reason is that the browser 
 doesn't really support the idea of downloading multiple files (except by 
 packing them into a single ZIP file).

 But you can easily export tiddlers as discrete individual files using the 
 Node.js configuration (since Node.js supports ordinary file APIs). In fact, 
 under Node.js, individual tiddlers are stored independently in separate 
 files anyway. This is done for the reason you state in your original post: 
 it provides future proofing by ensuring that your data is accessible at all 
 times.

 Best wishes

 Jeremy.

Thanks Jed. This answer, while being quite comprehensive, doesn't actually 
answer my needs. Nor do I see an export option for the listing.  From what 
I can tell, the export list is simply another way to accomplish what I get 
with the standard export option.  

Perhaps there is something here I just don't see. As noted I'm a bit of a 
novice, a practiced one, but still a novice.

Again, thanks.

 If you click on the advanced search icon next to the normal search in the 
 menu on the right one of the tabs is 'filter', in that tab you can enter a 
 filter and export all the tiddlers that are returned by the filter. 
 Currently you can export as csv, json and static html.

 Any one of those options would let you export and manipulate all the data 
 you have in a format that is pretty easy to manipulate with other tools.

 The filter [all[]] will return all tiddlers, so it would give you the 
 entire wiki on one of those forms, the filter [!is[system]] will give all 
 non-system tiddlers, so if you are using it like a normal wiki it would 
 give you all of your content without any of the backend.

 One of the reasons I like tiddlywiki so much is that the only thing it 
 does to convince you to continue using it is being useful.
