Re: [tw5] Re: Time Tracking in TiddlyWiki?
Eric,
I just wanted to let you know I am using Timer tools with projectify,
streams and the recent basket (plussa number of my own tools) to build a
very nice comprehensive "work a day" solution.
Thanks sooo much for this substantial contribution.
Once I have settled on my solution I will publish an edition.

Re: [tw5] Re: Time Tracking in TiddlyWiki?
Thanks Eric,
followed the exact steps you mentioned with the new code, works perfect :)
, the action now only takes place in fields for tiddlers assigned an alarm
, and not the entire list.
cant thank you enough , this was really helpful

If I understand your PNG code snapshot, it appears that you want a
triggered alarm to set the "status2" field to "boom" in each tiddler that
has a status="In House".
* For this to happen, you first need to put the desired <$action-setfield
status2="boom"/> widget *into a separate tiddler* (e.g., "AlarmActions").
* Next, in your $list that shows tiddlers with a "status" field containing
"In House", transclude {{||TiddlyTools/Time/Alarms}} (as you have already
done). This will display a separate Alarm input form for each matching
tiddler.
* Then, for each status tiddler, use the associated Alarm input form to
specify a time/date and *enter the title of the alarm action tiddler as the
message text*.
* Be sure to press the [+] button to use your inputs to actually add the
alarm definition to the corresponding status tiddler. The defined alarm
will be shown below the input form.
* When an alarm is triggered, the AlarmActions tiddler will be invoked,
performing the <$action-setfield> widget(s) that you specified. Note that
the <> will be set to the tiddler in which the alarm is
defined (i.e., the corresponding "In House" tiddler), so the "status2"
field containing "boom" will be added to *that* "In House" tiddler.
IMPORTANT: I've just updated the TiddlyTools/Time/Alarms code so that the
<> value is correctly set for each tiddler containing alarm
definitions. Previously, $action widgets invoked using the default tiddler
(i.e., the currentTiddler) would be applied directly in the AlarmActions
tiddler, rather than the tiddler containing the alarm definition.

Re: [tw5] Re: Time Tracking in TiddlyWiki?
Eric, That is an interesting design method if I understand it correctly. If there is a trigger available, in this case a timer, presumably any other trigger such as a button etc... if actions provided to it they will be executed. It suggests to me anything which can act as a trigger can have actions, this is in most trigger widgets like buttons etc... but when someone designs a solution containing any kind of trigger it would be valuable if an action macro or tiddler reference was available if needed. Further consideration can be given to the modifier keys alt, ctrl... I suppose I am suggesting this would be a good design pattern. What do you think? Eg; a todo list done button, if an action macro is set the do them. The user can then trigger a dialogue, or confirmation or many other responses. Makes solutions extensible without changing the code of the solution..

The first thing to do is to check to see if TiddlyTools/Timer/Ticker is actually running by opening $:/temp/timer/ticker. The text of that tiddler should be a 17-digit datetime value that is being automatically updated once per second. Note that the Ticker is tagged with $:/tags/StartupAction, which is supposed to be invoked when you load the file. I wonder if the HTA somehow fails to trigger the StartupActions, which are run from $:/core/modules/startup.js If the Ticker IS running, then the next thing to check is to see if the sidebar *digital *clock is running. If it is, then the problem would be limited to just the analog clock display, and might be related to the CSS used to render the analog clock. Perhaps the HTA isn't responding to dynamically changing updates to CSS?

Re: [tw5] Re: Time Tracking in TiddlyWiki?
Update August 17 4pm PDT: http://TiddlyTools.com/timer.html
* IMPORTANT: TiddlyTools/Timer/Ticker adjusts for "drift" due to Alarms and
CountDown processing overhead.
\define ticker(delay:1000)
<$action-timeout delay="$delay$" actions="""
<$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/temp/timer/ticker" text=<> />
<$importvariables filter="TiddlyTools/Timer/Alarms"><>
<$importvariables filter="TiddlyTools/Timer/CountDown">
<>
<$vars msec=<>><$vars delay={{{ [[1000]subtract] }}}>
<$macrocall $name="ticker" delay=<> />
"""/>
\end
<>
Previously, ticks could accumulate as much as several hundred milliseconds
overhead that would eventually cause it to "skip" to the next second (this
could occur as frequently as every few seconds, depending upon how much
processing overhead was taken by servicing the Alarms and CountDown
handlers.
* SampleSequence (a programmed CountDown example)
- completely re-written to work with global ticker-based timeouts
- no longer skips a second when cycling through multiple sessions
(actually a fix to underlying CountDown code)
- has option to enable/disable modal messages ("ask to continue")
- displays event messages inline for better tracking of events during
active sequence
Note: The tiddler contents have been updated, but the tiddler modified
datetimes haven't changed (I had the timestamps off for testing purposes).
You should copy ALL tiddlers when updating.
enjoy,

I said that CountDown and AutoSaver still started separate timeouts (instead of the new *shared* TiddlyTools/Timer/Ticker StartupAction). I had *claimed* that they don't stack up interrupts due to refresh events... but I was mistaken.

Of course, this was a problem so I solved it. Now... CountDown and AutoSaver now use the same *shared* TiddlyTools/Timer/Ticker. I had to rework the ticker logic in TiddlyTools/Timer/CountDown, but it turned out to not be as difficult as I had thought. So... now ALL the TiddlyTools/Timer functions use the same once-a-second ticker loaded as a StartupAction, and there is NO additional timeout overhead regardless of how many times you open/close these tiddlers. -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.

Re: [tw5] Re: Time Tracking in TiddlyWiki?
Eric This is fabulous. I was thinking of placing two world clock on a site. I realised that your solutions are contained in a set of tiddlers with a given prefix and I was not sure which are dependencies and which are options. Have you planed to package these in a particular way or can you provide a little guidance as to how we can take these wonderful tools to our wikis? I am happy to package these as needed for myself but would like a little guidance on this. Perhaps I should already understand this but I am uncertain. I have followed your development journey and are very impressed but not confident I know how to select or bundle these. I am aware as developer it can be hard to imagin what a nieve user will understand when you have such a deep knowledge since you built it. I am very excited with the possibilities you have opened up to us all, and certainly plan to share some implementations back.

Re: [tw5] Re: Time Tracking in TiddlyWiki?
Update August 14 7pm PDT: http://TiddlyTools.com/timer.html MAJOR PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT! Previously: each timer, clock, countdown and alarm created a separate timeout. This resulted in increasing overhead as more clocks, timers, etc. were in use. Now: A new tiddler has been added: TiddlyTools/Timer/Ticker, tagged with $:/tags/StartupAction. This tiddler establishes one *shared* ticker for all clocks, timers, and alarms. The result is a MAJOR reduction in overhead. No matter how many clocks, timers, or alarms are in use, there is only ONE tick per second. This is especially noticeable when displaying the WorldClocks, which currently can show up to 24 simultaneous clock displays (12 analog and 12 digital). So... instead of 24 timeouts per second, there's only 1 This also eliminates a subtle but troubling problem whereby tiddler refresh events would result in extra timeouts being started, resulting in "runaway" interrupts accumulating until performance slowed to a crawl (or even caused "stack overflow" red screens!). Everything is now MUCH more stable, reliable, and efficient! Note: CountDown (and AutoSaver) functions still start separate timeouts because they do very different logic. Instead of simply tracking the current datetime value, they compute seconds of "time remaining", and when they reach 0 seconds, they stop and trigger events (e.g., a message display or a file save action). However, unlike the clock and alarm functions, the Countdown/AutoSaver functions do not "auto start on render". Thus, they don't stack up "runaway" interrupts due to refresh events, and the timeout overhead for each countdown is automatically eliminated as soon as it reaches 0. enjoy, -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.

Update August 8, 17:22pm (PDT): http://TiddlyTools.com/timer.html
* There are a number of significant changes in this update:
1) TiddlyTools/Timer/AnalogClock and TiddlyTools/Timer/DigitalClock
has been combined into TiddlyTools/Timer/Clocks
2) This new combined Clocks tiddler no longer uses "templated
transclusion" (e.g., {{||TiddlyTools/Timer/AnalogClock}}) to embed a
clock in a tiddler.
3) Instead, the new Clocks tiddler defines a <> *macro* that
can be used to embed either the analog or digital clock.
4) This macro also includes parameters for specifying the timezone
"offset" and an optional "format" override for the digital clock.
5) The SidebarClock and WorldClocks tiddlers have been updated to use
the new <> macro instead of transclusions.
6) The WorldClocks tiddler has also been updated to provide a
multi-select list for choosing which places to display.
7) A new tiddler, TiddlyTools/Timer/Places, has been added to define
the list of available places for use with the WorldClocks tiddler.
Documentation for all of the above changes in syntax and usage have
been updated in TiddlyTools/Timer/Info.
Note that, while these changes do not alter the overall functionality,
they do make usage and customization easier and more consistent
by using macro parameters to control clock options, rather than
defining "context variables" to pass those values to the underlying code.
Hopefully these changes don't cause too much grief for anyone who had
been using the previous version...
Please let me know right away if you run into any problems with using
this update.
enjoy,
