Some random thoughts As for (pseudo) databases... would a json interface be a good apporach to externalize content?
Or, how about pulling collections of tiddlers individually, such that you'd have a basic tw setup (separate core, plugins, themes) and load content tiddlers from such external "bags" (where'd I get that term from? ;o), chosen via a simple dropdown. Why? For one, you wouldn't have megabytes of content in one html file and could split up your content into meaningful categories (each one represented by a different file ...json or simply html "snippets"). This could be managed by a general routine, whereas you would simply flag any external file with some sort of "always load" flag (or simply put it into preMarkupHead?), indicating that you want to include that content on startup rather than switch to that category at runtime ...like help, info, dictionary or todo tiddlers that you'd personally want always available, but not intermingled with your setup (core, plugins & themes). In other words... if anyone has a quick tutorial or routine on how to externalize certain tw elements into different files, withouth the need of tiddlyweb or such, please share... though I guess that would require some adaptations as to loading and saving routines, some sort of "externalizePlugin".

I was looking to jquery for this. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
