[tw5] Re: Rethinking tiddlywiki.com

[Shawn Murdock]

Jeremy,
   I agree that a more structured way to get into Tiddlywiki is needed to 
appeal to a greater audience. When I was looking for a solution for keeping 
my notes/records/information in something that was portable (very important 
to me) and easy to maintain, I stumbled into Tiddlywiki and I loved it. The 
basics I got right away. My issue, and I still have some, is how quickly I 
went from creating tids to needed ways to structure and organize them to 
ways to generate collections of lists and custom "reports".
That is where I had issues. As I explored the main Tiddlywiki site I 
quickly got into the programming side of things i.e., widgets, macros, 
filters, and such. Now I am not a programmer, but I have programmed. These 
areas, to me, are written in a programmers - technical way and the concepts 
are hard to visualize. I think if there was a friendlier way to show how 
these things work and explain the concepts - connect the dots if you will - 
I think it would go a long way to making this more of a keeper app.
I tend to use my wikis for a while and then run into a problem or need a 
new solution, or at least have an idea. When I go into the references for 
widgets and lists and such I kind of get lost and its hard to visualize 
what I need.
Now having the forum and other sites helps tons. But I like figuring things 
out and I don't want to bother people with problems that might really be 
dumb. I will post when I hit a wall, but I know most people wont. They just 
want to use it and they don't have time to get there hands dirty.

So I guess after blathering a bit:

   - The bullets above are great
   - Maybe a non-programmers way to teach the programming - ease people 
   into concepts
   - Maybe a front page article, weekly or so, that examines a particular 
   concept and goes from basics and concepts to detailed examples.
   - These deep dive articles could be youtube videos or something
   
Hope this helps in some way. This has been my experience and maybe 
atypical. I have really enjoyed Tiddlywiki.

Shawn

Thanks a lot Mario and Tony.  These work as needed. I hope the class 
attribute "bug" gets solved, but this will keep me working  :)

Thanks again, Shawn

Hi PMario,
   Thanks for the help. Actually that would be a wonderful way to implement 
it. I wish I knew more so I could create some kind of solution to 
contribute to this great product.

Again, thanks

[tw5] Help with Pre (code) blocks

[shawn murdock]

Hi,
  I have a problem and have been trying to find a solution. I have looked 
at the TW docs and searched around, but I cant figure this out. Now I dont 
pretend to be a expert which is why I am posting.

What I am trying to do:
I am creating some documented procedures in a "help" TW, that I have 
created/maintained, about managing fiber SAN switches and the CLI 
commands/output. I am trying to have different colored monospaced blocks 
for different devices to set them apart and to avoid confusion, i.e, green 
block for switch 1 and a blue block for switch 2,
So I want to replicated the monospace block formatting buttons look but 
with different colors. I took this from the documentation and looking at 
the TW code and created a custom stylesheet:

.codeblock2 {
display: block;
word-break: normal;
word-wrap: break-word;
white-space: pre-wrap;
padding: 14px;
margin-top: 1em;
margin-bottom: 1em;
background-color: #e2efe8;
border: 1px solid #92c2a8;
padding: 0 3px 2px;
border-radius: 3px;
font-family: "SFMono-Regular",Consolas,"Liberation Mono",Menlo,Courier,
monospace;
}

Which gives me basically everything I want except the line breaks are not 
preserved. So here is a comparison of the normal and mine:

```
CACL1::> net port show
  (network port show)

Node: CACL1-01
  Speed(Mbps) Health
Port  IPspace  Broadcast Domain Link MTU  Admin/Oper  Status
```

@@.codeblock2
CACL5::> net port show
  (network port show)

Node: CACL5-01
  Speed(Mbps) Health
Port  IPspace  Broadcast Domain Link MTU  Admin/Oper  Status
@@

Which looks like this:

[image: cap1.png]
So you see the green blocks line break breaks the "container". I am not 
sure how to remidy this. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

Also, if there is an easier or more efficient solution, please elaborate. I 
would like to create several variations on the color scheme.

Thanks for any help.

Wow that was quick; this community Rocks.
Thank you. I had a feeling there was something in there that would allow 
this. Sorry I missed it. 
Again Thank you.

[tw5] Multi Tiddler Export

[Shawn Murdock]

Hello,
  First of all I would like to say how much I like Tiddlywiki. I really 
enjoy using it to store all kinds of information. Someday, hopefully, I 
will understand it enough that I can contribute to the community.

For now I want to know if there is a way to export multiple tiddlers to a 
single json file. Say I have a bunch of individual tiddlers all tagged "How 
To's" and I want to export them into a single json file, is this possible? 
Basically I want to export a bunch of tiddlers that I use for inventory of 
a bunch of servers. Each tiddler has custom fields I use for OS, CPU, and 
such. I would like to export it all out to a json file, or even a csv I 
suppose, so I can bring the data into another application, excel or a sqldb 
for example. 
I am trying to avoid having to go through and export each one individually 
and then try using JQ to try to combine them into one file, (have not had 
luck doing that).
Thanks for any help. I hope there is not an obvious answer that I somehow 
missed.

[tw] Re: Modifiying multiple tiddler fields

[Shawn Murdock]

Thanks Mark, Thanks a lot. I figure there had to be a way without opening 
in something like notepad++. Now that I see it, it seems very simple. I 
guess I have a hard time with the docs.
Again, thank you.
