Well, not *exactly*... Molly's real issue concerns posting the document online and then allowing other people to add comments to the remotely-hosted document. For that, you really *do* need a true server-side TiddlyWiki system, such as ccTiddly, TiddlyHome, or TiddlyWeb (a very robust TiddlyWiki server-side system that is currently being developed at Osmosoft). According to Michael's writeup, his plugin's primary function is to "create comments stored as separate tiddlers" and, except for a few bits of code that support copying of some server-related tiddler fields (e.g., server.bag, server.host, server.page.revision, etc.), it doesn't actually contain any server-side related handling. Of course, if you host your document on a server-side TiddlyWiki system that supports multiple user access controls, it should be possible for others to access and safely modify the tiddlers in that document... but that ability is completely separate from the tiddler- creating functions of Micheal's plugin. Note: I also have a pair of TiddlyTools plugins that does something quite similar to the Michael's plugin (with some extra TiddlyTools- style "bell-and-whistle" features, of course ;-) http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#CommentPlugin http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#DiscussionPlugin CommentPlugin provides several different options for how the comments are stored in the document: * all comments embedded directly into the tiddler being commented upon * all related comments in one separate 'comments' tiddler * each comment in a separate tiddler DiscussionPlugin works *with* CommentPlugin to automatically gather a set of related comments for a given tiddler and present an easy-to-use interface for reading, reviewing and posting comments of your own in response. When using DiscussionPlugin, each comment is stored separately, using a title that is auto-generated by combining the title of the tiddler being commented upon, plus a number sequence composed of the current 'timestamp' plus a random decimal number, so that each comment tiddler is guaranteed to have a unique title. In addition to providing a macro to embed a discussion in any given tiddler, DiscussionPlugin can also automatically modify the default shadow ViewTemplate to add separate "Page" and "Discussion" tabs to *every* tiddler: .... The "Page" tab shows the normal content for that tiddler... the "Discussion" tab presents the related comments and an input form for entering new comments. If you are using a customized ViewTemplate, the plugin documentation includes some instructions on how to hand-edit your template to add the needed defintions. Of course, as with Michael's plugin, none of this actually address the hosted, server-side, multi-user read/write access issues that Molly has asked about... -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
