[tw] (TW5) Problem with operator on: subfilter:"sort[created]" ?

[Daniel Cunningham]

Hi All -- new TW5 user here.  Really love the product so far.  

I've run into a behavior that might be a bug, or (more likely) me just not 
understanding the syntax.  I'm trying to display a list of tiddlers by date 
created (not just modified).  And it seems to me that the negation operator 
in my subfilter is not acting upon my sort criteria.  

I thought the code below would produce different ordered lists, but it does 
not.   

!! List tiddlers by creation (not modification) date:

!!! Show oldest on top, newest on bottom?

<>

---

!!! Show newest on top, oldest on bottom?

<>


This is with a freshly downloaded "empty" TW5 instance.

My preference is to do this in "vanilla" TW5, because (1) I want to make 
sure I actually understand the syntax, and (2) I'm not sure which plug-in 
"pet" I want to adopt yet (I want to take them ALL home, but I know that's 
not wise).

[Daniel Cunningham]

Many thanks, Mario!  I tried that, and it works.  

But rather than change a shadow tiddler, I elected to put in into a 
"end-user" tiddler, that I can then place in the sidebar with a 
"$:tags/SideBar" tag.  That gives me the functionality I was looking for.  
Also, I won't shoot myself in the foot if core changes during my "learning 
curve".  :-)

As a follow-up, the results are still in descending order (same as the 
original Recent tab functionality).  So, to get ascending order, I recon I 
should apply a sort operator to the results of your code segment.  But the 
syntax of your code is very different than that shown in the docs -- can 
you give guidance on this?

Best,

-- Daniel

[tw] Re: (TW5) Problem with operator on: subfilter:"sort[created]" ?

[Daniel Cunningham]

Hi Mark,

Thanks for that follow-up!  I'm beginning to see (thanks to you and Mario) 
how this works.

OK, so I now get how you can negate the sort order inside the macro (with a 
bang).  And then I see from the docs that the way that expression evaluates 
is L-to-R via that "railroad" style filter syntax 
<http://tiddlywiki.com/#Filter%20Expression>.

And now I see how you can't get to the juicy inner goodness unless you 
explicitly flip that bang in the middle...

...which bothered me.  So I extended your initial idea to allow an 
additional parameterization from outside:

\define timeline2(limit:"100",format:"DDth  MMM 
",subfilter:"",sortaction"sort",dateField:"modified")

<$list 
filter="[!is[system]$subfilter$has[$dateField$]$sortaction$[$dateField$]limit[$limit$]eachday[$dateField$]]">

[...]

<$macrocall $name="timeline2" subfilter="" 
format={{$:/language/RecentChanges/DateFormat}} sortaction="sort" 
dateField="created"/>

And so, I can make a call using a sortaction of "sort" or "!sort", and 
control it from outside.  Which works.  And taught me a lot, so thanks to 
you & Mario for investing your time explaining that to me.

Finally. some observations and questions for you veterans (keeping in mind 
that I'm not at all familiar with the code base yet):

   - Keep in mind I'm not a "macro-ey" kinda guy.  I'm more of 
   "function-ey" or "object/method-ey" dude, so I'm sure you should take this 
   with a bowling ball sized grain of salf... 
   - It kind of "bothered" me that the declaration "looks" like it has a 
   "default parameterization", but does not really.  In other words, when you 
   call the macro, if you don't explicitly supply all parameters, it will 
   fail.  That seems a bit fragile, right?
   - Death by whitespace:  I found out if there's any leading whitespace 
   (before the macro definition) the tiddler fails.  Also, if there's any 
   whitespace in the filter list, it will fail.  Again, trying not to seem 
   harsh, but it feels rather fragile.  Am I being unfair?
   - Is this "macro-ey" stuff kind of like the STL in C++?
   - Is this "fragility" due to the macro mechanism itself?  Or is it a 
   characteristic of JavaScript?  Or CSS?  Or HTML?  Or some intersection of 
   those elements?
   

And, again, most of all... THANKS for your explanations, which have been 
very useful in helping me to spin up on the awesomeness that is TiddlyWiki!

Sorry It was when I tried to add a comment above the macro that I threw the 
error.  I need to study up on TW5 comment syntax.

[tw] Re: (TW5) Problem with operator on: subfilter:"sort[created]" ?

[Daniel Cunningham]

A!  Thanks much, Mark!  I saw that documentation, but did not realize 
its implications. 

So, just to be clear, it's saying?...

   1. look at stuff that's not a system tiddler;
   2. filter anything that's got a "modified" field;
   3. do a reverse sort on the "modified" date;
   4. and then, if the user put some limits on the listing, use those 
   limits.

And then what you are saying is that since this is embedded in the timeline 
macro, any sort criteria I try to apply to "created" will be to no avail?

Unless... I clone the macro & modfify it to use the "created" field?

Thanks again!

Re: [tw] Re: (TW5) Problem with operator on: subfilter:"sort[created]" ?

[Daniel Cunningham]

Hi Mario,

Thanks for your efforts at explaining.  Yes, I'm coming to a new
appreciation.   With TW, you can't treat declarations and invocations as a
matter of personal style.  You need to understand exactly how the
substitutions will take place.

So instead of: "death by whitespace?" it's simply: "Dude.  Whitespace
matters."  :-)

And it's very much worth learning, because of the results (and power) it
can give you.

Thanks, Mario.

-- Best regards,
   Daniel

[tw] [TW5] User interface for copy by value (vs reference) operations on singleton tiddlers

[Daniel Cunningham]

Hi All:

I hope this is not going to be an embarrassing question.  But I did search 
the docs and groups/forums to no avail, so here goes...

I am trying to do a copy of a single tiddler from one local TW5 file to 
another.  For example, an "action item" exists in a small "to-do list" TW5 
wiki, but perhaps now I am wanting to file & cross reference it into a 
larger "research notes" TW5 wiki, and then delete it from the "action 
items" wiki (which I want to keep as small as possible).

I see from the TW5 docs that a copy operation is done by a drag & drop of 
the source URL onto the destination browser window.  So I generated a 
permalink for the tiddler in the "source window", and dragged it onto the 
destination window, which kicked off the import process.

The result of this is import process yields a tiddler with a URI to the 
permalink.  So it's (kind of) like a "copy-by-reference".  What I seek is 
more of a a "copy-by-value".  So then I tried the "import" tool via the 
tool tab.  Which will work to do the copy by value.  But...

...For a single tiddler, it's not very user friendly. To import the one 
tiddler from the source wiki took about 120 clicks, as I had to disable all 
the tiddlers that I did not want to copy over.  That's a lot of 
clickity-clicking!  I did not see any "select/deselect all", which could 
have made it take only 2 or 3 clicks.  

So, am I missing a key user interface?  It there a simpler way to import 
(or copy by value) the content (versus the URI/URL) of a single tiddler?  

I can see one response being: "why not just cut/paste"?  As I explore TW5, 
and think about moving tiddlers from one TW5 "notebook" to another, I also 
think it's important to try to preserve tagging states, and also custom 
field states, which a simple copy/paste operation seems insufficient to 
do.  

If it's missing functionality, perhaps a column header with the 
aforementioned "select/deselect all/none" functionality would suffice?

Details: I am operating TW5 with Firefox 50.0.2 on Linux Mint 18 (Sarah) 
XFCE (and loving it, BTW).

Best regards,

-- Daniel

[tw] Re: [TW5] User interface for copy by value (vs reference) operations on singleton tiddlers

[Daniel Cunningham]

Thanks for your time on this Eric.  I saw in the TW5 intro tiddlers that 
newbies like me can volunteer to update the docs and initiate git pull 
requests.  So I'll try to do that soon, and add some of your instructions, 
and the other clarifications in this thread.  It's what lesser minions like 
me should do in return for the help & advice.  

But I'll need to get spun-up on git first, as I am from the paleological 
age of CVS, which I think was before the great version control extinction 
event.   :-)

Thanks, BJ.  Now it's clear.  I was confusing "link" with URL/URI.  I'm off 
to the races now!

Now, THAT (the inter-window tab-to-tab drag/drop) is a thing of beauty.  
That works SO well with my workflow.  I'm getting misty-eyed.

I'm serious -- that's awesome.  Thanks so much!

What can I say, sir?  You are... the best.

Can't wait to try it out.

And I take back everything evil I've ever said about JavaScript (as an 
unrepentant C++ programmer and all around strongly-typed/OO type of guy).

I echo BJ's finding that the link is not working for me either.  :-(

I'm genuinely interested, but I think the frustration of several cycles of
"thar she blows!" followed by "myuh, myuh, myuh..."  is wearing thin.

Thanks, Richard -- this link works (the array of earlier ones didn't).

At first glance... WOW!  Something else.  Kudos to you.

I'll be teaching my two boys calculus this summer, and I may just chose
this one.  I believe that the non-linearity may really lend itseld to
letting student learn the way they want to.

Re: [tw] Re: [TW5] Host on github for free without any git knowledge or software installation

[Daniel Cunningham]

Hi Olegh,

I reviewed your protw projects (nice!) and saw that there is additional 
configuration information in the "tiddlywiki.info" file.

But I'm not familiar with the configuration syntax, or the 
"rendertiddler(s)" stuff...

So I'm still stuck trying to understand how to configure a build for a 
single html file.

Let me re-state my use case, because I don't think I made myself very 
clear:  

   1. When a new user (me) wants to try TW5, I download a new empty wiki 
   file.  
   2. I end up with a single HTML file, that I can name to something like: 
   'my-new-project.html".  
   3. (Well, we know it's not "just" an HTML file, it's also whole lot of 
   JavaScript "black-magic" as well).
   4. I get busy & make a bunch of new tiddlers, maybe hundreds.  But to 
   naive user (me) it's still a single HTML file.
   5. I want to upload "my-new-project.html" to my own fork

   system seems to be based on .tid files.  
   7. But if you try to "export all tiddlers" into a tid file, you find out 
   that TW5 only exports a single tiddler.  
   8. So, you are stuck (it seems to me).

So, I would like to upload this single "my-new-project.html" file into the 
project space, in whatever appropriate spot is best, and configure it (with 
appropriate syntax) in the "tiddlywiki.info" file.

   - Can that be done?  and...
   - Can you give my the "tiddlywiki.info" syntax for that?

Best regards,

Hi Daniel

I have been experimenting with my own fork 
 of your  
tw5-auto-publish2gitlab-pages 
.  
I haven't messed around with either GitHub or a continuous integration tool 
like Travis CI before, so it was fun learning about those.  Thanks for the 
extensive effort and clear expertise you have put into this project.

My purpose for this exercise is that I want to share a TW5 wiki (a project 
that I've been building on my local machine) and I thought that sharing it 
as a page from GitHub (or GitLab) would be... nifty.

I see that the "user content" part of your configuration is based around a 
single .tid file, and that it looks like you use the Travis CI tools to use 
a YML file to auto-generate an index.html file from a .tid file (and then 
run some other scripts as well).  Is that correct?  

My bigger question:  Is there a way to (re) configure this system so that I 
could upload an HTML file (that is a complete TW5 wiki) that I want to 
share?  I found out that exporting as a .tid file only exports a single 
tiddler, and I have an extended wiki with many (as in hundreds) of 
individual tiddlers that I want to share.  So as it stands right now, I 
can't use your system to share a completed TW5 wiki from my local machine.  
Unless of course, I'm missing something really obvious (which I am the 
first to admit happens all the time).

I have (zip|zero|nada) experience with Travis CI and/or YML files, but 
perhaps there is some specification I could configure that would let Travis 
CI reach in and use a target HTML file (in other words, my source TW5 wiki) 
and use that to generate the index.html?

The best of all possible worlds for me would be to upload a TW5 wiki as a 
single HTML file into the wiki directory, edit one or more config files to 
say: "look for this target HTML file", let Travis CI detect the push event 
and have the auto-config "magic" do its stuff.


Best regards,

-- Daniel
