here is a fiddle that shows the logic of a possible solution, it should be straight forward to put this kind of logic into a widget http://codepen.io/jmperez/pen/yYjPER all the best BJ On Thursday, September 29, 2016 at 4:45:29 AM UTC+1, John Newell wrote: > > Hi Tobias / Mario > > I may not

I've noticed this with other apps. You can be connected to your local wifi, and apps will attempt to connect to the net. But if the wifi isn't connected to the net, the app will time out. It seems to me that it's better to leave it up to the user. Only the user can determine if the connection

This seems not to be totally save. I noticed a hint on http://caniuse.com/#feat=online-status that states: <<< "online" does not always mean connection to the internet, it can also just mean connection to some network <<< Maybe Tobi Beer has a better solution? Good luck! Thomas -- You

You have expressed a great deal of enthusiasm for TW as an ebook replacement and now as an app replacement. I'm learning app programming now, and can vouch that it's ridiculously complicated. But I wonder how most publishers would view TW in terms of DRM and IP protection. There really isn't

I think there should be some system tiddler that are updated with these type of state changes - this would allow widget to listen for changes through the refresh mechanism. On Thursday, September 29, 2016 at 9:34:50 AM UTC+1, PMario wrote: > > On Thursday, September 29, 2016 at 5:45:29 AM

Hi Tobias / Mario I may not have communicated this objective clearly - for which I apologise - but the solution provided by Mario works perfectly. The issue is not whether TW needs to detect online connection - as the TWebook will have on probably its FIRST SCREEN the option of online /

Hi Jeremy Mario ( see recent Comms ) gave me the solution, which aligns with your point : a SWITCH / CHOICE via button selection for online or offline status - which the reader would know anyway and simply select to update Excellent. Will post you a copy link to download when ready. If

Hi John, My first thought is delivering smaller / lower res images that are saved as > tiddlers and can be delivered via {{tiddler-image-name}} usage. > try this: - define a tiddler eg: myImageMacro and tag it: $:/tags/Macro \define image(uri, tiddler, altOnline:"online image not found"
